The Cult Sonic Temple (1989) Genre - Rock Web - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cult My Rating - Great Notes - Just discovered this album and was hooked. Great review below. Less "goth" than what went before (Dreamtime, Love, Electric) and more straight-forward hard rock. If you grew up liking the indie goth era of the mid 80s then this might never be your favourite Cult album as it marked a definite change of direction - probably the nearest comparison would be with say mid era Thin Lizzy. It's one of those albums where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts - there's no one stand out track just a collection of equally great songs. So if you're thinking of listening to this album for the first time a smokin' hot no nonsense rock'n'roll album - well worth a listen From an Amazon Review by James Taylor.
