While it's now regarded as their SignatureSong, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" was actually somewhat of a BlackSheepHit for the band, as it's [[StepUpToTheMicrophone sung by Buck Dharma rather than regular lead singer Eric Bloom]]. The song is also LighterAndSofter than their usual hard rock style. To make matters worse, the song was widely misinterpreted as being a romanticization of suicide, while the band intended it to be a PepTalkSong [[NotAfraidToDie against fear of death]]. Still, it's notorious enough to have become a trope on our site: DontFearTheReaper.

* GeniusBonus: the Tarot card spread displayed by the croupier on the cover spells out the message of ''Don't Fear The Reaper'' - that Death himself cannot separate the love of a man and a woman. This sequence of cards - Death, the Heirophant, the High Priestess and the Sun - also has a definite meaning in esoteric magic. Think ''tantra'' - sex magic.
