Blue Öyster Cult is the eponymous debut album by hard rock band, the Blue Öyster Cult, released in 1972 (see 1972 in music). The album featured songs such as "Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll," "Stairway to the Stars," and "Then Came the Last Days of May." The album sold well upon its release. Blue Öyster Cult toured with artists such as the Byrds, Alice Cooper and the Mahavishnu Orchestra to support the album.
Infamous music journalist, Lester Bangs, gave the album a generally positive review stating, "with the Blue Oyster Cult, New York has produced its first authentic boogie beast, and with any luck this one should be around for awhile," and told readers that, "I don't think you should miss this album." It was named an honorable mention on IGN's list of "Top 25 Metal Albums" and its been called, "Heavy metal for people who hate heavy metal."
