In the mid-80’s I was quite a big fan of The Cult. I really liked their album Love and when they released Electric, I went crazy for them for a few years. Electric was a really good mix of stripped-down, simple rock and roll, which was a bit of a departure from Love.
When The Cult released Sonic Temple, I obviously bought it but was somewhat disappointed with it. While I think it was their most popular album, it was a bit too mainstream for my tastes. I was still more than happy to go see them when they came through town on the Sonic Temple tour, but my interest in The Cult would wane after this show.
