''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. The song "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" partially inspired writer Stephen King to pen '' The Stand ''. The track was also the inspiration for a late 90s '' Saturday Night Live '' skit, known as the famous " Cowbel " skit. One of the lead characters in the 1994 film The Stoned Age (Lanie), declares "''Agents of Fortune is a total fuck album''", and the single " (Don't Fear) The Reaper " is featured prominently in the movie.
