First album in 19 years for the Oyster Boys and what a corker it is too! Although only Eric and Buck remain from the early classic line-up, The Symbol Remains packs a mighty powerful punch from two guys now in their early to mid 70s, ably assisted by the three who've been part of the current BOC for quite a few years now. Richie, in particular, plays a stellar part, both in writing some of the songs as well as some lead vocals. 14 tracks in total though if truth be told, a couple are filler material that actually would've been better left off the final cut. Long time BOC fans will find lots to be happy with here, though as always, the Bouchard brothers plus of course the late Allen Lanier, are sadly missed. 4.5 stars.

Finally, gave in to all the hype surrounding the release of the new album and the verdict..... It's ok, nothing to get excited over, it's great that the band are still going and able to produce new material, but for those of us who have been on board since the beginning, there's nothing here that's going to tempt me away from listening to the early material when I want to listen to BOC.

This album is a good return to form for these veteran rockers. Far more to this bunch that [Don't Fear] The Reaper. First track is maybe below par but from then on it is a really strong set.

I first saw BOC when I was 17 in 1978 and have been a fan of their music ever since. It's been 19 years since their last album release and with the 2 remaining founder members now 75 and 72 years of age my expectations were not particularly high! I have to say though this album exceeded my expectations by far! BOC - On Tour FOREVER
