  Agents of Fortune - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agents of Fortune is a 1976 (see 1976 in music) hard rock album by Blue Öyster Cult.
Upon its release, and the success of the song "(Don't Fear) The Reaper", Blue Öyster Cult became the center of a controversy surrounding the supposed pro-suicide lyrics of the song, which is actually a love ballad concerning love that lasts beyond death, and a call to seize the day.
The platinum selling Agents of Fortune peaked at #29 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart, while the single "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" peaked at #12 on the Pop Singles chart, making it Blue Öyster Cult's biggest hit.

While the recently formed Australian Licensed Player Agents’ Association claims that it is attempting to find common voice and run the sharks back out to sea, it only has 10 members – with few representing Australia’s biggest names.
Case in point: most of the agents involved in the Macallister deal were, or are soon to be, FIFA-accredited.
Agent Pini Zahavi, a close friend of United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, is thought to have picked up that 10%.

 RollingStone.com: Agents Of Fortune : Blue Oyster Cult : Review
Agents of Fortune is a startlingly excellent album — startling because one does not expect Blue Oyster Cult to sound like this: loud but calm, manic but confident, melodic but rocking.
Agents of Fortune's comparative slickness even serves to enhance their dark image: the ominous villainy conveyed by Buck Dharma's agile guitar lines on "Tenderloin" is far more effective than his heretofore standard thudding meanness.
In any event, it works: Agents of Fortune is a very pleasant surprise, its first side containing some of the best rock released thus far this year.

 Blue Öyster Cult : Agents of Fortune - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
If ever there were a manifesto for 1970s rock, one that prefigured both the decadence of the decade's burgeoning heavy metal and prog rock excesses and the rage of punk rock, "This Ain't the Summer of Love," the opening track from Agents of Fortune, Blue Öyster Cult's fourth album, was it.
Agents of Fortune was co-produced by longtime Cult record boss Sandy Pearlman, Murray Krugman, and newcomer David Lucas, and in addition, the band's lyric writing was being done internally with help from poet-cum-rocker Patti Smith (who also sings on "The Revenge of Vera Gemini").
Ultimately, Agents of Fortune is a solid record, albeit a startling one for fans of the band's earlier sound.
