Agents of Fortune (1976)
for me its Tenderloin, I wish they (or anyone) had more songs like this, doomy rock band doing sleazy pop, can't think of anything that hits the same spothttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqnmC8E3gWo
>>131625348Good shit
>>131625348Judas Priest's "Rapid Fire" blatantly stole the riff from "This Ain't the Summer of Love" lol.
>>131625348we forgot to post this in the /mu/ in 1976 thread
Agents of Fortune [Columbia, 1976]Just when I figured they were doomed to repeat themselves until the breakup, they come up with the Fleetwood Mac of heavy metal, not as fast as Tyranny and Mutation but longer on momentum, with MOR tongue-in-cheek replacing the black-leather posturing and future games. I wonder how long it took them to do the la-la-las on "Debbie Denise" without cracking up. B
>>131625538>Fleetwood Mac of heavy metal
I lost them after the last B&W album. Every record since had a hit song and filler. The first three were all great.
>>131625581I understand your position, but there's no filler on Fire of Unknown Origin
>>131625453You're right, we did. An unfortunate oversight and I'm sorry about that.
>>131625432all the same pretty forward-thinking riff for 76, it's NWOBM a few years early but on the next album they revert back to 70s boogie riffs
Cultosaurus Erectus is where the rot set in.Disclaimer: I like Club Ninja
>>131625348they peaked with pic related. sucks because it was only metallica that gave any track on this album attention
>>131626864Subhuman is the only weak track on that and it's still pretty good
I like how after 20 years of no albums they dropped The Alchemist out of nowhere which is like their top 5 song
>>131626864>>131625348I like the Self-Titled but i get why these are two most loved ones
>>131625348too bad all their albums had 1-2 good rockers and a bunch of bland filler
>>131627172I like it, I just wish Buck wasn't 2000 years old, if the vocals were stronger it'd be a banger
>>131627567All 70s hard rock/metal albums in a nutshell, except Sabbath and a few others
>>131628348The Eagles also cheated by using outside songwriting help, mainly from Jackson Browne and John David Souther.
>>131628348>>131623065That was also the curse of funk albums--most of the disc was boring ballad mush.
>>131628348>>131627567NahThe first half of BOC is solid The entirety of Tyranny and MutationSecret Treaties has one non-excellent songAgents of Fortune is mostly great
>>131628348Zeppelin and Judas Priest...
>>131628494>Secret Treaties has one non-excellent songSubhuman? Idek, Secret Treaties is my favorite BOC but it is carried hard by the last 3 tracks.
>>131628515Zeppelin is just rock
>>131626793really, Mirrors when they tried to go New Wave
>>131627018>Cagey Cretins is the only weak track on that and it's still pretty good
THIS AIN'T THE GARDEN OF EEEEEDENTHERE AIN'T NO ANGELS ABO-OVE
For me? Reaper and ETI.>>131625453>>131625432BOC got it from this band but they reworked ithttps://youtu.be/PtTSKqM4cGs
