Album Review

The Revolution by Night is the ninth studio album by American hard rock band Blue Oyster Cult, released in 08 November 1983. The album was intended to capitalize on the unexpected success of Fire of Unknown Origin just two years prior, hence the album's blend of straight-ahead rock and pop elements. This was the first album by the band not to feature all of the band's classic members, drummer Albert Bouchard having been fired during the previous tour and replaced by Rick Downey.

''Shooting Shark'' became a radio hit, and its accompanying video became one of MTV's most requested clips upon its release. The lyrics to ''Shooting Shark'' were based on a poem by Patti Smith. The song ''Take Me Away'', co-written by Eric Bloom and Canadian rock musician Aldo Nova, also received significant airplay on AOR radio. Nonetheless, the album failed to go Gold in the United States. [wikipedia.org]
