Agents of Fortune is the fourth studio album by American rock band Blue Oyster Cult, released on May 21, 1976 by Columbia Records. The Platinum-selling album peaked at No. 29 on the U.S. Billboard chart, while the cryptic single (Don't Fear) The Reaper peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, making it BOC's biggest hit. The band became a bigger concert attraction after the release of the album, in part due to extensive airplay of (Don't Fear) The Reaper, to this day a staple of rock-station playlists.
