Rated 9/10
The Örigins of the almighty Öyster began in the late 60s, but in 1972 it officially got its start with the debut s/t. A transitional album from their 60s psych era, most of the songs come from that time, albeit in a re-recorded fashion that fit the style of the time.
Boasting songs with strong hard rock basis mixed with a dash of psychedelia, atmospheric passages and some faster, heavier moments that lean on metal, from the moment I heard it, it became one of my favorite hard rock albums.
It does lack the mythological aspect that the band would be known for, but honestly it doesn't need it, and that tells you a lot about the band's ability to make good rockers without relying on a gimmick.
