Blue Qyster Cult's gradual disintegration continued with Club Ninja, on which originalmemberAllen Lanierwas replaced by keyboard player Tom Zvoncheck, and severalcompositions from outside the band were featured, notably the Leggat Brothers' "WhiteFlags," and a couple of generic metal exercises by Bob Halligan, who had contributed much the same sort of material to Judas Priest. On what should have been the positive side, Sandy Pearlmanwas back in the producer's chair. But he did nothing to arrest BÖC's decline into musical anonymity.
