2 Weeks Left in the 2024 Heavy Harmonies Donation Drive
Two weeks left in the annual donation drive, and we've raised 55% of the
goal of covering the site's annual out-of-pocket expenses. Still a long
way to go to reach last year's results, which was still short of the goal.
The drive runs through October 31. You can find details over on the Heavy Harmonies Forum.
Thank you to everyone who has stepped up and donated thus far!

| This album kicks ass! In my opinion this is the best Cult album, so much rock and roll in here. Lil devil is awesome, and what can i say about love removal machine pure hard rock. This album + sonic temple is The Cult at their best.

| CHIRO, don't waste your time arguing with the freddy de zzzzz's. Freddy doesn't really like hard rock, he prefers lots of keyboards and tragedy, etc. I think he's actually a closet Cure/Smiths/Morrissey fan to be quite honest. This is a killer album, worth the price of admission for the first side alone (yeah I'm old enough to own it on vinyl...). It still kicks.

| Easily their heaviest, ballsiest release. I remember reading that the Cult were very proud of this album, and disappointed in the negative reaction it got in some circles. They stole Zodiac Mindwarp's bassist to tour this cd. I love it through and through, a rock classic! 10!!

| A must have. One of the best stuff ever in the genre. Rick Rubin did a great job on this one as always. What I'd like to say is you can love The Cult as well as The Cure and The Smiths. What is disapointing on this site is these narrow-minded fights of words. It brings me back to the worst days when you had to choose what side you were on between Glam and Heavy. I like both and so many other things... These arguments are so boring and out of interest... Anyway this album is a killer one to me.

| Point taken KK, I made my point badly. What I was trying to say is that the aforementioned fellow has a preference for lighter music yet still loves to make flip comments about hard rock even though he doesn't really like hard rock. It would be like me making non-constructive comments (ala "Sorry, this is pure crap !! I don't want to spoil more words on it. Avoid like the plague !!!!!!") on AOR bands just because I happen to prefer rock. For the record I own a Smiths AND a Cure disc or two...

| BC thanks for the explanation. Was nothing personal against you, just a general feeling about the fact that it is a pity that some people are not able to like more than just one type of music. This is not your case if I understand your message. This said, I have no problems with people who don't share my points of view about this or that. It is so subjective sometimes. It happens that somehow you can't deny you enjoy a recording which you feel is obviously not that great, but you like it anyway.

| As for The Cult, I really love ELECTRCIC and CEREMONY but not that much SONIC TEMPLE though it is considered by many as their best. Could not say why exactly, that's just how I feel. That is my truth not THE truth. I really really enjoy hard rock, stoner, heavy and so on but there is a band not to miss that has nothing in common with this called GRANDDADY...out of place somehow here, but when music is great, it is great beyond the genres... See ya BC, take care.

| My favorite from the band, direct and smashing hard rock, never gives a second of rest, not cheap filling anywhere, just great song after great song. listen also to some version from this album in their compilation album 'rare cult' whit a new air & flavour and really worths it.Almost impossible to find something nowadays as this monster work.

| raw and rough. we can hear huge difference between this and two first releases. orginally 'electric' was mixed like 'love' (check 'peace album' included on 7 cds boxset 'rare cult'). good hard rock but for me too poor in expression.

| Flat-Out No Bullsh*t Raw Hard Rock! Has aged very well.Sounds just as good now as it did in '87.Plenty of attitude and thump.Crank it.

| Here's where the Cult began to truly kick some ass. Rick Rubin's spotless production turned them from a bunch of directionally-confused Goth/Rock wanna be's into a superior hard rock force.

| This is my favorite Cult disc. The best thing about this disc is there are no ballads!! YAY! It has such a gritty, no frills sound that is still refreshing to this day. Buy it!

| The Cult are kinda like Rush, in that they've never really made the same album twice. Electric is the crown jewel of the band's catalogg, all stripped-down and AC/DC-worshipping, but with the band's own spin on the formula. Duffy's riffs channel the Stones and the Young brothers fairly equally, only with an updated distortion bite, while Astbury shouts his frequently nonsensical lyrics ("Plastic fantastic lobster telephone," he says on "Aphrodisiac Jacket"). There's not really the layered guitars of Sonic Temple, or the polished vocal melodies either. This is rough and ready rock 'n' roll. A GREAT disc for driving.

With this 3rd release The Cult became worldwide notorious i believe..."Lil Devil" defined what the band was all about and IMO this will always be their "song",the one that the crowd will be always cheering for  ..."Aphrodisiac Jacket","Bad Fun"(rocks!),"Love Removal Machine","Outlaw" & "Memphis Hip Shake" are surely in my book of favorites as well...85/100
