Whereas the 1987 Blue Oyster Cult greatest-hits anthology, CAREER OF EVIL: THE METAL YEARS, emphasized the band`s `70s metal prime with few selections from the `80s (it didn`t include the Top-40 hit single "Burnin` For You"), the 1990 budget-priced ON FLAME WITH ROCK AND ROLL contained the band`s best from all eras. At only 10 tracks in length, the album is really of use to newcomers who are interested in sampling BOC`s radio standards. Most of the band`s less-renowned early tracks were often just as good, but make no mistake about it, there was a reason why most of the selections on ON FLAME WITH ROCK AND ROLL have become classic rock radio standards.
In addition to the aforementioned "Burnin` For You," other gems such as "Godzilla" and "Don`t Fear the Reaper" have become all-time metal anthems, made to be cranked loud. Also featured is a spirited cover of the MC5`s "Kick Out the Jams," as well as such standout album cuts as "Transmaniacon MC," "Career of Evil," "Dominance and Submission," and "Cities on Flame With Rock and Roll." If you`re just seeking Blue Oyster Cult`s biggest hits, ON FLAME WITH ROCK AND ROLL is highly recommended.
