This is BOC's best overall album and still sounds great nearly forty years after its initial release. Good mix of heavy duty rock tunes such as ME 262 and catchy lyrics such as Harvester of Eyes stands up well after repeated listening.

BOC did serious ear damage w/this one. Secret Treaties has that something extra that most hard rock bands never pull off=atmosphere. For all of BOC's releases thru the mid-80s you'll find a hue that shimmers slightly out of focus, it's dark, eerie, and seductive. See "Astronomy", "The Subhuman", or the assault of "Dominance & Submission." This edition has some excellent bonus tracks that will delight the long-time fans. These extra tracks are NOT throwaways, hunny. Give em a spin & play em loud...

This is the best BOC album ever! 'Career of Evil', 'Dominance and Submission', 'Harvester of Eyes', a lot of good stuff is here! And the bonus tracks 'Boorman the Chauffer' and 'Mommy' are really good also and I was happy they released those with the album. This is worth every cent, and as I've been a BOC fan since I got introduced to them several years ago, I can tell you that this is the best BOC album. It's my favorite album of all time, BOC or no.

Great CD
It's cracking.
Not the usual "don't fear the Reaper" stuff, beautiful yes, but a bit depreciated for too much celebrity. Read more

Blue Öyster Cult's best? Perhaps...
Blue Öyster Cult have been called the intellectual man's heavy metal band. "Secret treaties" from 1974 is often considered their finest effort. Read more

End of an era in cover-art but the sound remains the same.
Anyone reading the liner notes of 1990's 'Career of Evil' compilation and not sensing that this album was being more than simply mentioned would have been seriously lacking in... Read more

One of the classics
Face it! Since the early 80s, rock music has turned into mush.
The period from 1967 to, roughly 1982, was the heyday of rock. Read more
