Sonic Temple is by far the most popular Cult cd, I remember seeing them live back in '89 when they opened for Metallica at Pine Knob. The crowd was not too kind to them, but they put on a great show. The opening track "Sun King" starts out slow but the drums come in and the song explodes. There are lots of heavy guitar riffs, a mix between 70s rock and the heavy metal at the time. "Firewoman" comes up next and everyone knows that song, no need to really describe it. "Edie (Caio Baby)" is the Cult's most popular ballad, it has all the elements needed but what separates this song from others is the orchestra, the violins add a lot to the depth of the song. When you put swirling guitars and violins together you end up with a masterpiece. The rest of the cd isn't filler but there isn't much to write about. The tracks tend to blend together and thats about it.

Getting to the Love cd, this came out in '85 and has some of the best Cult songs. Its not as good as Electric but it has some amazing cuts. The cd starts out with "Nirvana" typical Cult song, nothing special but the songs you need to know are "Brother Wolf Sister Moon" a slow brooding dirge that mixes in orchestra sounds, "Rain" the perfect blend of guitar and synth of the time and "She Sells Sanctuary" which sounds like it should be on Sonic Temple.

After Sonic Temple the next cd was OK but nothing to special. They came out with The Cult which was a commercial disaster but it had "Coming Down (Drug Tongue)" which was a great song. After that The Cult disappeared for a long time only to resurface with Beyond Good and Evil which was a very heavy cd.
