Tyranny and Mutation Q&A
On Tyranny and Mutation, Blue Öyster Cult achieved the seemingly impossible: they brightened their sound and deepened their mystique. The band picked up their tempos considerably on this sophomore effort, and producers Sandy Pearlman and Murray Krugman added a lightning bolt of high-end sonics to their frequency range.

Tyranny and Mutation is probably the most overlooked album in Blue Öyster Cult’s classic era. It isn’t an obscure effort by any means, and it’s adored in many circles, but there’s no real attempt to lure in casual listeners with a Don’t Fear the Reaper or Godzilla type track. That approach could be seen as detrimental but the band didn’t seem that interested in crafting hit singles; instead, Blue Öyster Cult’s second album sees them gaining momentum by upping the ante and expelling even more energy
