I was a really big fan of Blue Öyster Cult during their black and white period - up until and including the 1975 live double album. But when 1976´s Agents Fortune album appeares I was mightily dissappointed. I lost my interest in the band´s new, pop-style music. Although I continued to listen to their albums from the "golden age" of 1972-1975. And I continued to purchase each new BÖC album partly out of desperate hope for a renaissance in their music and partly just because of my fond memories of the once great band.
BÖC were awesome as a hard rock/heavy metal band

. But, in IMO they sucked as a pop band
