- Classic, back in print
The relatively new reissue label American Beat inaugurated themselves to the more discerning rock listener with their release of the Blue Öyster Cult classic "Imaginos". For some reason Columbia has kept this album out of print in the US for ages, and aside from some generally low-quality mp3's (or expensive imports), this is the first time many listeners have had a reasonable opportunity to hear what many consider one of BÖC's finest (if most confusing) works.
The musician credits have been revised, the artwork is reproduced nicely enough, and there has been some minimal remastering done; on the downside, there are no lyrics nor any liner notes explaining the concept. No matter; the lyrics and various and sundry notes and analyses are everywhere on the internet. "Imaginos" is a masterpiece that the band's following has been fascinated with for decades even if the general rock landscape has largely forgotten ... Read More

- Best BOC album
This was the album that finally sold me on BOC. Now I'm a diehard fan. My uncle gave me Agents of Fortune for Christmas when I was 12 or 13 years old, which I thought was merely OK, I didn't pick this one up until I saw it at the record store a couple years later. I thought the cover looked awesome, it was a total impulse buy. Best impulse buy I ever made. Years later, I own all of BOC's records, but Imaginos remains my favorite.

BOC really got screwed by their record label at the time Imaginos was released, as not only did CBS/Columbia drop all support/promotion of the album once it hit the stores but they dropped BOC from the label completely. Because of this bad blood and other factors BOC likes to try to forget the Imaginos days and pretend the record doesn't exist. I can't say I blame them. Despite these facts, Imaginos is packed with some really killer music and some of BOC's best lyrics to date. ... Read More

- BLOWN AWAY!!!
First off, I have been a BOC fan for about three years now, and I have to say that this is definately the most fantstic and hidden masterpiece the band has ever created. I say this having heard virtually EVERY BOC song from EVERY album at least once. While no BOC song can top "(Don't Fear) the Reaper", just about every song on this album is close at one time or another, and I really feel that this creative effort shold have been more recognized in its own time, as well as in ours. The mystic titles, songs, and lyrics on this album make for a very entertaing and enjoyable listening experience. I must say I am officially BLOWN AWAY BY BLUE OYSTER CULT'S UNDERRATED HIDDEN GEM!!!!!!

- POSSIBLY THEIR BEST
I had to add my few cents worth after reading some cringe-worthy reviews....("I found myself only listening to half the songs, then skipping to the next one???!!!) When I first purchased this album, when it first came out it WAS different than what I had expected, and I was initially disappointed. But after several listens (and listening to each song ALL THE WAY through), I became hooked on this release. Each song is a masterpiece in it's own right, and just when you think you've heard everything you think there is to hear in a song, there is some suprise to mix things up. So...all I can say before throwing this in your scrap heap, is give it a chance. Then another chance. Then another. Then, hopefully, you'll be hooked as well.
