 Splendid: Departments: The Essential Albums
Love is arguably The Cult's best album, but it's often overshadowed by the differences between it and the music on the band's breakthrough albums, Electric and Sonic Temple.
Each album's title is a propos -- Love is a gothic, psychedelic, melodic album, whereas the words "electric" and "sonic" are apt descriptions of the band's later work.
Even listeners who do not own (or have never heard) Love have undoubtedly heard "She Sells Sanctuary", the album's most popular cut -- it finds its way onto all the edgier eighties compilations, and lately seems to be licensed for a new TV commercial every few months.

 The Cult, MP3 Music Download at eMusic
For their third album, the Cult shuffled its lineup -- Stewart moved to rhythm guitar, while former Zodiac Mindwarp bassist Kid Chaos joined the lineup -- and hired Rick Rubin as producer and the result, Electric, was their hardest, heaviest record to date.
Dreamtime, the group's first album, was released in the fall of 1984, accompanied by a single "Spiritwalker," which reached number one in the U.K. in the spring.
The first single from the album, "Love Removal Machine," became a number 18 hit in the spring of 1987, while the album itself reached number four in the U.K. upon its April release.

 HYBRIDMAGAZINE.COM REVIEWS The Cult - Beyond Good and Evil
"Rise," the first single off of the Cult's new album, is like the badass stepchild of the classic 1985 Love album, with a spiraling electric guitar line, huge chorus, and the unadulterated ideals of rock 'n' roll stamped like tattoos on each lean-muscled forearm.
This may be the first Cult album where the two polarities of Duffy (bleach-blond rough 'n' tumble axe-man) and Astbury (raven-haired rock mystic) aren't fighting for dominance, though saying they've found a middle ground would be implying a compromise.
This song should be a staple of all future Cult live shows as it is a certifiable rouser and captures perfectly the energy this band projects.

 USATODAY.com
During the 80s, the band went from punk (they used to be called the Southern Death Cult), to psychedelic on the album Love (which featured the hit She Sells Sanctuary), to metal on Electric and Sonic Temple.
The Cult: WE've finished the video for Rise, which, knowing the nature of the industry, will probably be made commercial at some point.
The album was broken up -- we had 60 different rift ideas, but nothing concrete.

 The Cult Discography: Electric
It's the favorite Cult album of hard rock and metal fans, and for good reason -- it grabs you hard and doesn't let go.
This album could hardly be more different than Love released just two years prior, but they'd scrapped 12 tracks recorded in 1986 (known alternately as the Peace album or The Manor Sessions) and then re-recorded the album with Rick Rubin.
The Cult still play many of these songs live, including Wild Flower, Peace Dog, Lil' Devil and Love Removal Machine, and they seem to love playing this material as much as their audience loves hearing it.

 Beyond Good and Evil Music at Shop Ireland
I was never really a cult fan apart from buying the Electric they were only a "goth" rock band in my eyes which I happened to like a few songs!, I actually borrowed this album first from my local library with the attitude" oh yeah....
The Cult's last release was 1994 and on the basis of this album compared to the lack lustre solo outputs of Duffy & Astbury, the break would have appear to have done them some good.
Although The Cult are unlikely to ever again produce an album as virtually perfect as LOVE they continue to write excellent songs.

 The Cult appreciation thread
Love, Electric and Sonic Temple were all great.
They were huge when I was growing up, and I wore out my first copy of Sonic Temple (far and away my favorite Cult album) in the summer of '89 (a very memorable summer for me for a variety of reasons).
My band decided to play a couple of The Cult covers so I've been listening to their "The Singles 1984-1995" cd.

 Electric by Cult CD
ELECTRIC was the Cult's mainstream breakthrough album in the United States, where the UK band's previous records, DREAMTIME and LOVE, had been embraced by college radio.
I've always been of the mind that this album, "Electric" by The Cult, has got to be one of the best all-around rock albums of the 80's.
While none of the tracks top "She Sells Sanctuary," this album, taken as a whole, is excellent rock fare.

 CD Baby: ELECTRIC POEM: The Crystal Mind
Electric Poem's album, "The Crystal Mind," is a mix of dark, somber lyrics and emotional music with a vintage sound.
With the impressive talent of guitarist Holly Williams and the passionate vocals of Thomas Luke, Electric Poem is often compared to The Cult, The Smiths, David Bowie, The Doors & Billy Idol.
In December of 2000, Electric Poem released their first full length CD, "The Crystal Mind."

 Amazon.com: The Cult: Music: The Cult
The sound of the Cult is still rooted in early 1980s gothic/alternative but the distorted guitars of Electric and Sonic Temple have been slimmed down to a more subtle production.
And for having a reputation for being rock posers, I have found their catalog to be hit (Love) and miss (Ceremony, Electric).
Truthfully, "The Cult" is so different from everything the band had done prior that it was pretty much guaranteed to be released to a negative reaction, but it's an album that deserves a careful chance.

 Amazon.co.uk: Love: Remastered: Music
The album may be too gothic/alternative for some mainstream fans, but I would definitley reccomend this album over any of The Cult's other recordings, but still 'Electric', 'Ceremony' etc. are brilliant, just more mainstream.
The Cult's 1984 debut, DREAMTIME, proved to be an intriguing, if sometimes muddled, combination of early U2 and the Doors, topped off with Ian Astbury's ongoing lyrical fascination with Native American mythology.
This is an absolutley amazing album- The Cult never really got back to this standard.

 Amazon.com: High Octane Cult: Music
If you've never heard or owned a Cult CD before or are a long time fan and are looking for a album that has all your favorite hits; this would have to be the album to get.
What this means is that I wouldn't be a big fan of their "Love" album style, but I love their "Sonic Temple" and "Electric" style.
Then the rest of the songs grew on me. after two years of playing the songs on this CD, I have come to think of The Cult of a band I should have been listening to for years.

 Southern Death Cult
While he never renounced his Gothic past, this album is quite different from The Cult's more popular albums such as Electric and Sonic Temple.
I had first purchased this along with the Death Cult album (another must have), and at first, I was unimpressed by it.
Even if you don't listen to the Cult, you may want to check this album out.

 The Cult - Pure Cult
The videos for "Spiritwalker" and "Go West", both from their debut album, Dreamtime, are live performances showing the band in full-goth regalia, and sounding almost unrecognizable to those of us who came onboard around the time of Electric.
The first two albums Dreamtime and Love were dominated mostly by an alternative/goth-rock style.
Love is the album that the next three videos emanated from.

Where both Southern Death Cult and Death Cult had been overtly influenced by post-punk, the Cult was a heavy hard rock band with slight psychedelic flourishes.

ELECTRIC was the Cult's mainstream breakthrough album in the United States, where the UK band's previous records, DREAMTIME and LOVE, had been embraced by college radio.
The revved-up singles "Love Removal Machine" and "Lil' Devil" best exemplify ELECTRIC, which is arguably the band's best album.
After unsatisfying sessions with LOVE producer Steve Brown, the Cult hooked up with superstar hip-hop producer (and unapologetic 1970s-boogie fan) Rick Rubin to re-record the tracks, and his changes make the album.

 Entombed (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Entombed's debut album was Left Hand Path, a cult favourite that established the band as one of the most popular death metal bands.
These first two albums were unique in that they featured what was sometimes referred to as an "electric saw" guitar sound.
It appeared on their debut, "Left hand path", but was improved and refined on the follow up, "Clandestine", on which its effect is in its best form.

 Chronique complète de The Cult - Electric (1987)
Electric est un peu la bête noire de The Cult puisqu'il se situe entre le sommet artistique (Love) et le sommet commercial (Sonic Temple).
The Cult fait partie de ces rares groupes de hard rock à ne jamais refaire deux fois le même album (exception faite de Ceremony, très proche de Sonic Temple) et à être capable de changer de style avec un talent incroyable.
The Cult a le culot de virer rock 'n' roll seulement le temps d'un album, comme si le groupe était "trop bien" pour se cantonner à ce style jusqu'au restant de ses jours.

 Sweet Certain Surprise, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
A belated official issue of a well-traveled bootleg, Sweet Certain Surprise is a solo acoustic performance by John Martyn from 1977, with four selections from an electric full-band gig from 1981 tacked on the end.
While the sound is improved for this release, it still reflects its origins as a muffled audience tape, and as a result of the iffy sound and Martyn's occasionally unsure performances, Sweet Certain Surprise is definitely a release for the most devoted members of John Martyn's cult audience.
The timing is key for Martyn fans, as the 1977 gig comes at the end of a nearly three-year period when the singer/songwriter had withdrawn almost entirely from music.

 ISRAELI PROGRESSIVE MUSIC RADIOSHOWS (with info)
G.K. : An album moving in different directions as each song is written in another musical style, another cult album.
Therefore the middle part of this album also might need some more time to fully appreciate, as it did with me. "Israel 70" is the second avant-psychedelic track, with a chaotic underlying weirdness coming to the front again.
This live album featured Gronich on piano and vocals and Caspi on acoustic guitar and vocals and in spite of the scarce instrumentation, they managed to create a full and compelling sound.

 TrouserPress.com :: Cult
The closest the album comes to a stylistic groundbreaker — "Edie (Ciao Baby)," a pseudo-poetic tribute to Edie Sedgwick with strings and an acoustic guitar intro — is one of the stupidest songs in the Cult's lowbrow compositional closet.
The Cult story begins in early '83, as the Southern Death Cult (from Bradford, actually a northern city, near Leeds) has just broken up without releasing an album; various sessions and live takes were, however, compiled for a posthumous LP.
The songs aren't much to brag about — drum- dominated drones at various tempos — and the performances, given their mongrel origins, are too muddy to really judge the band.
