| Not too many comments here..! I think "Wild Hearted Son" is worth the price alone. A huge hard rock hit from the beginning to the end!! The guitar sound is great and Astbury is one of the best vocalists there is!

| I bouyght this one as soon as it came out, and I always thought it was WAY overlooked by everyone. It's real solid, my favorites being White, If, and Wonderland personally. Good solid rock.

| I picked this up on tape for $2.99 because the case was cracked all to hell. Lucky me, I would've been nnone too pleased if I paid full price. "Wild-Hearted Son" and ""Full Tilt" are the two songs I like best here, with a couple other near misses. Unlike on Electric and Sonic Temple, you can really tell Ian Astbury graduated from the sing-really-loud-rather-than-well school of vocals. 4.0

| I dunno... as a follow up to the monstrous SONIC TEMPLE, this one was a let down. "Wild Hearted Son" is a great song but it merely sounds like they were trying to duplicate "Fire Woman." The production by Richie Zito (Cheap Trick) isn't as "in your face" as the job Bob Rock did on TEMPLE either. This one's still widely available in cut-out bins nationwide, deservedly so, I'd have to say. Get SONIC TEMPLE, ELECTRIC or BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL instead.

| My favourite with ELECTRIC. Not too mad about SONIC TEMPLE, unless Fat Freddy I'm not very pleased with Bob Rock production, but that is just a matter of taste... In CEREMONY there's no weak song to me, and the Indian feeling is obviously giving a + to this release.

| Great follow up 'Sonic Temple' IMO. The solos here are just amazing.

| Not much to offer on this one but Wild Hearted Son makes this one worth having.

| fine hard rock by THE CULT but not nearly as good as their previous one.the problem here is that there aren t so many catchy tunesand the songwriting isnt in the same level as in sonic temple release.you can find some good songs though like "wild hearted son","heart of soul" and "indian".i also must say that duffy plays amazing (solo of the "if" song ).this is a good release but not as expected

| I got this from a cut-out bin in about '95. Definitely not their best, especially after Electric and Sonic Tomple. "Wild Hearted Son" is, of course, the standout (also the first single). Other than that, "Ceremony" has a nice build-up and flow to it, "Full Tilt" lives up to its title, and "Heart Of Soul" made a good second single. The rests, hell, I can't remember much of it, except for a few meandering, trippy songs, like "we're uncomfortable being seen as a metal band, so we're going to do something 'experimental now'." Stuff like "If" and "White" are just pompous crap. I gave it a 40.

| Like 'Charvel,i picked this one up back in '91 and agree that this one is way overlooked-and gets unfairly maligned and slagged alot .Earth Mofo?,Full Tilt?,White?,Heart Of Soul?,Indian? Some d!mn good stuff on there.Definitely worthy of their brand.Take a listen to their crapola self titled '94 release and you'll be tripping over yourself to get back to this one.

This album caused some fuss back in the day and surely it can prove why it did even though is not as sophisticated in rock and roll terms talking as for example "Sonic Temple" or "Electric" but surely with the tools needed to grow in us every spin you give...a more "mature" band in here,i suppose...best shots for me are "Ceremony"(  rocking starter),"Wild Hearted Son","Earth Mofo" & "Full Tilt"...only 4 out of 11 tracks but it does not mean the other ones are dull or average,no they are great too but these were the ones i considered to be the highlights...Ian Astbury was at that stage at the pick of his career as a vocalist IMO...recommended...85/100

| good album but yes a bit of a let down from the last 2 the title track is a top song but it must've been hard to follow up electric and sonic temple

| After the years have passed we often find ourselves seeking the fix that came with many older releases & back catalogs are the place to find some overlooked gems. Indeed SonicTemple roared but upon release Ceremony came over a mere clone attempt & stumbled for it. Liked but never loved, must say this one has aged well & with the benefit of time many of the tunes have a new lease & fer these ears I'm quite taken by what I hear. Title track & WildHeartedSon as others above have said over the years are cracking, but so too are EarthMofo & the epic & groovy Wonderland. HeartOfSoul won me over first time around & both Indian and the enormously brilliant IF are also worth the price in fact IF is so good it's criminal it never got single treatment. Much more solid than was given credit for back when, a good if not great release that sounds far better when returning to it without the hype & expectation and being overshadowed by its predecessor. Rating 7.5
