The Cult

Really love this band, any fans here? I didn't include the rest of their discography 'cause even though I like most of their offerings I think their first 5 records are their most classic and probably best ones so far. Beyond Good and Evil imho does get close to their 80's/early 90's quality, but it sounds a bit too modern for their standards.

love the band, death cult, and southern death cult...

but Love was the big one.

they have a lot of rockin' LPs and singles but "love" is an obvious choice.

The Cult is one of the bands that lack of authenticity in a good way. Every album - different style.

Actually, the last one is one of their best. I would put the selftitled album in the list as well. I know it's more alternative rock sounding but it's their best IMO.

I don't have an opinion on the new one 'cause I haven't listened to it yet, apart from streaming a few songs. I know I'm gonna buy it anyway you know, so.. I prefer to wait. However, I never liked the s/t one until quite recently, I just thought to give it a second chance and it didn't sound as bad as I remembered. Maybe I should give it a few spins.

Wildflower is a great song even though the main riff is taken from an AC/DC song.

I like everything through "Sonic Temple", especially "Love" and "Dreamtime". Never heard "Ceremony" though.

It sounds close to Sonic Temple, only more diverse and quite better as a whole (imho). Not that Sonic Temple's got any "fillers", but I don't enjoy the whole album the same.

Only heard that one from "Love" that everyone knows. Good tune. Heard the entire "Southern Death Cult" album and thought it was really good

Great band ... pleasantly surprised they are mentioned here ... every album markedly different from the other ... She Sells Sanctuary my favorite tune of the lot ... lot a good memories associated with that song Twisted Evil

Gotta go with LOVE

Love never caught on with me besides a few tracks, Sonic temple on the other hand is great hard rock.
