4.0 out of 5 stars
A great pop-rock album amidst a dark time in rock music,
This review is from: Flat Out (Audio CD)
When this album came out, it was so poorly promoted that I didn't know it was out until I stumbled upon it in a record store and freaked out. As good as this album is, it could have been better and possibly gone platinum. "Burnin' for You" was intended to be on this album as well, but fellow Blue Oyster Cult members begged Buck to record it with BOC instead. You can definitely hear the similarities."All Tied Up" has to be my favorite song on the album and it's no wonder. There are so many pop hooks in the song it infects you. "That Summer Night" and "Cold Wind" are melancholy tunes that will take you back in time to your first true love. "Anwar's Theme" is a great instrumental noir tune that could have been the opening theme for "The Untouchables" and is reminicent of Jon and Vangelis' "Friends of Mr. Cairo" "Five Thirty-Five" is the one tune that got airplay. It is a good tune but has not aged as well as "Burnin' for You". Buck has a definite, sometimes morbid sense of humor as evidenced by "Your Loving Heart" which is a bit of a farce. "Wind Weather and Storm" is from a Pearlman or Meltzer poem (I can't remember which) that is silly enough to make you laugh but infectious nonetheless. "Born to Rock" is another example of silliness on Buck's part but remains a solid rocker. "Come Softly to Me" is a remake of the Fleetwoods' classic and vocals are shared with Bucks wife Sandy Roeser. I have both versions and I think Buck's is actually better. Buck claims that this is the first song that he made out to as a teenager. All in all, it is a very good album and fans have been waiting a long time for it to be released on CD. It is well worth the listen.

1982 SOLO CLASSIC SOUNDS "FLAT OUT" GREAT ON CD!!!!,
By Bill Appel (Virginia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flat Out (Audio CD)
Buck Dharma has a unique guitar and approachable vocal style that has contributed to make Blue Oyster Cult one of the greatest and most successful rock bands in history. His long awaited on CD "Flat Out" showcases Dharma's super talents with the opening cut, the blitzing "Born To Rock", moving right into the electrifying "That Summer Night". The beautiful ballad "Your Loving Heart" is indeed classic with a catchy story line. "Five Thirty-Five" and "All Tied Up" are foot tapping FM gems full of hooks. The album is a well written and produced classic. Recommended as essential for any rock collection.

Buck Dharma "Flat Out" makes it to CD!!!,
By
This review is from: Flat Out (Audio CD)
Finally, Flat Out is available on CD. It took long enough for this great album to make to CD. Get your copy now and help push sales of it through the roof so it can stay with the rest of the BOC cd collection and not end up on the shelf in the record vaults.
