Club Ninja is Blue Öyster Cult’s tenth album, released December 10th, 1985 in the UK and February 11th, 1986 in the US. It was intended as a comeback album because their previous album failed to reach Gold, but this album failed as well. This is also the only BÖC album not to feature Allen Lanier (keyboardist) and last album to feature Joe Bouchard (bassist). There is also a cameo by Howard Stern on “When the War Comes Home.”
