"Agents of Fortune is a startlingly excellent album--startling because one does not expect Blue Öyster Cult to sound like this; loud but calm, manic, but confident, melodic but rocking."   
- Ken Tucker, Rolling Stone  

"I still consider Agents of Fortune to be perhaps the greatest Heavy Metal album of all time, mainly for its intelligence."   
- Xavier Russell, Kerrang  
From the Agents press kit, here is the Columbia Records Biography on Blue Öyster Cult, and the press release announcing the new laser show! Agents of Fortune has been recently re-released by Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs as a remastered gold CD.
