Album Notes & Community Reviews
Reaching the absolute pinnacle of their sinister, Patti Smith-assisted 'black and white' era, Blue 脰yster Cult delivered a wonderfully brainy, fiercely aggressive hard rock classic. 'Secret Treaties' balances highly energetic, remarkably heavy riffing with deeply cryptic, beautifully mysterious occult-rock lyricism, cementing their legacy with the soaring majesty of 'Astronomy'.
