"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."
1982 SOLO CLASSIC SOUNDS "FLAT OUT" GREAT ON 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."

"Back in the haze of my college years...i remember this album coming out and had feared that BOC had broken up.I had heard the album at a party and noted some fine songs but never did go to purchase it.
I saw that it was available very recently and a whole collage of memories fell.It is a great album.Very pop oriented for the lead guitarist of the band that seems to love doom and gloom.I can see how the songs would not fit a BOC album.
The highlights are "all tied up"....and a remake of "come softly to me" which almost brought my wife to tears when she heard it.Buck's singing is really good along with his guitar playing.One song does have a whack of 1980's production in it...but it fits it perfectly.I highly recommend it to everybody.
The rest of the album has some great songs in a faster vein.All songs were also written by Buck. Put it this way...i have had this CD for 11 days now...and I still put it on when I come from work and enjoy it everytime.....That is how good it is...."
Bruce Springsteen's dream album

"Think Jonny Cash meets Bruce Springsteen with a little Chris Issack. Buck does not try to be Blue Oyster Cult, instead its a true solo album, almost an auto-biography.The album is like a story, where one song must follow another to get the full effect of Buck's talents and honesty. Buy this album/cd today and see BOC in concert, and be born again!"
