Album Review
More varied than its predecessor, Electric, Sonic Temple finds the Cult trying several different metal styles, from crunchy Electric-era '70s grooves and the fuzzy, noisy psychedelia of Love, to mellow ballads and commercial '80s hard rock. Not all of the experiments work, as some of the songs lean toward ponderousness, but enough of them do to send Sonic Temple into the Billboard Top Ten, due to the exposure provided by the hit single "Fire Woman."
Recent Customer Reviews
The title says it all!
by mototennisFrom the title & cover, then with the very first note, all the way through to the last, this album epitomizes the very best of hard rock. Sonic Temple is Billy Duffy, Ian Astbury & Matt Sorum in their creative primes and at their performace peaks. This album is a journey with no disappointments, no mediocre songs. The sound is huge, clean and hard. Play it loud! Play it often! Rock delivered straight from the tap. There are but a handful of albums which deliver on all fronts, and this is truly one of those few!
Primo music.
by Ms5OhI've owned this since I bought it in cassette form when it first hit stores in 89. It ranks as a MUST HAVE. The only difference between then and now is that I rock out to it from my I-Pod. Classic excellence. You can't love rock and not love this. It's power speaks for itself.
The Cult's Best...
by Little Miss PeepersA well-balanced, thorough rock album, thick with a genuine texture that continues to surprise. One thing that always amazed and puzzled me about this piece was its unique "American west/southwest" flavor, esp. in tracks like "American Horse," "Wake Up Time for Freedom," and "Medicine Train"... Which is especially surprising considering these guys are Brits! Yet it's there nevertheless. And one last thing to remember: though it debuted in the '80's and yes, features electric guitars and drums, THIS IS NOT HAIRBAND METAL JUNK. There is no way anybody who has a working pair of ears could confuse this with stuff like Poison or Motley Crue. This is solid rock n' roll, updated for a more sophisticated listener.
All in all, superb. Do yourself a favor and buy it.
