I’ll say this again Pete/ thanks for Your time / week in / week out - on these weekly reviews. The “ usual suspects who tune in every Wednesdays for reviews. We 💯 get the amount of work involved: it definitely does NOT go unnoticed. Thx again 👍💯
Saw his show in Annapolis, MD last month. It was great. I have all the Imaginos saga CDs. Patiently awaiting the first of three comic books, and the graphic novel that will collect all three.
Been a BOC fan for half a century now & was excited to hear of this record. It gets my vote for best Rock LP of the year. Albert hit a home run with the bases loaded. Great reworkings & reimaginings of classic Blue Oyster songs. Damn good.
I didn't know this was out there. I'm looking forward to giving it a listen. I think I'll go back and give the other Imaginos albums a listen first. Thanks again for the time and work that you put into your reviews. ✌️
Even if I wasn`t a huge BOC fan, the list of participants on this would have me checking it out. Plus, some of their older songs "re-imagined' sounds really cool as well. If it`s even half as good as "The Symbol Remains" I`m in.
Sounds like this one needs be listened to in its entirety so it will have to wait for a later hearing. Thanks for the interesting review, Pete - you make it sound certainly worths some listening time.
For me this release was the best of the trilogy - it flows and sounds better than the other efforts (Which were all interesting). At the risk of controversy, it really made think about Albert's obvious contribution during Blue Oyster Cult's 'formative years', and how later albums would have sounded had he remained with or rejoined the band...
Yes, I remember Albert and Joe Bouchard in Blue Oyster Cult back in the day. I had no clue that Albert released solo projects. I will go to TH-cam and check this out!
I didn't realize that Albert was in the Dictators or that the group was still together. I have a Dictators album from back into the day. It is called "Manifest Destiny."
Pete, Prince Omega was Albert's name in Stalk-Forrest Group
You know, a few of the names here had that 'wink wink' feel, so I was wondering. I have that Stalk Forrest Group CD, but haven't looked at it in ages.

I love the original "Imaginos" record. I remember the issues among the band members at the time.I need to hear this update of it.

"Aldebaran Alien Take Me Away" mentioned as a new one is a neat rework of Revölution by Night's "Take Me Away". Completists, "the curse is real". :)
Finally listened to the whole trilogy. Shows why this guy was the brains and heart of BOC!

Sandy pearlman can finally rest in peace! The legend of imaginos is complete!
Thanks for doing this one Pete!

Damn what an interesting album. If you listen with an open mind it's very enjoyable. Great review Pete
Redeemed (Sir Rastus Bear) was a title on the eponymous release. Same track?

can't wait for chapter iv. imagino's day off!
Great review Pete will definitely purchase.
I really like it. Cool listen
There is a great BOC tribute by various stoner bands (through bandcamp) which is great too.

He is currently in the punk band The Dictators also, plus play the cowbell yes cowbell on that was me from the last BOC album which I really enjoy

I'm on the album? Wooo! Although I'm a nice alien, I'll only drop by to say hi. 😁
Love BOC with the Bouchard brothers. Great times
The reviews almost seem to be a labor of love at time Pete but they are valuable and useful references. Nice job.
Redeemed is a rework from the first album
Not sure about the opening track, but the rest of the album is really enjoyable.
