The Revölution by Night

The Revölution by Night is the ninth studio album by Blue Öyster Cult. It was released in November 1983 by Columbia Records. It is the first album to not feature the original band lineup, as Albert Bouchard was replaced by Rick Downey during the Fire of Unknown Origin tour.

Despite the moderate success of "Shooting Shark" and its heavy radio airplay, the album failed to attain Gold status.
