Album Notes & Community Reviews
Achieving massive commercial success with the immortal, surprisingly tender hit '(Don't Fear) The Reaper', Blue 脰yster Cult polished their heavy metallic edge with sophisticated pop sensibilities. 'Agents of Fortune' is a wonderfully melodic, fiercely energetic hard rock record that leans heavily on cryptic, mysterious occult-rock lyricism and highly playful psychedelic grooves.
