Review

Rolling Stone (12/29/94-1/12/95, p.173) - "...Superlunged Ian Astbury and co. pounce back hot. Their cosmic thirsts bubble up...[and] offer rare, nifty uplift..."
Q (11/94, p.110) - 3 Stars - Good - "...a great sounding, full-bodied record, characterised by original and intriguing musical arrangements..."
Alternative Press (11/94, pp.84-85) - "...the Cult are the biggest geniuses in heavy-metal history...the Cult have just released the first successfully `70s record of the `90s..."
NME (Magazine) (10/8/94, p.44) - 7 - Very Good - "...The Cult exist in their own warped world, where kaleidescope-eyed hippy girls smoulder in the corner of the Sunset Strip cellar clubs and political comment consists of a peace sign..."

Title Note

The Cult: Ian Astbury (vocals, guitar, tambourine); Billy Duffy (guitar); Craig Adams (bass); Scott Garrett (drums).

Additional personnel: Bob Rock (acoustic & electric guitars, keyboards, bass); Scott Humphrey (programming, synthesizers, keyboards); Jim McGilleray (percussion).

Recorded at Warehouse Studios, Vancouver, Canada.

In the three years since the last Cult album, their absence has been filled by grunge, the latest version of the big guitar sound. Thankfully, the Cult have returned to place their flambouyant stamp on guitar rock.

The newest album, simply titled THE CULT, returns them to the throne of power chordia, but this time around they aren't stuck in their '70s rut. THE CULT is proof the the '90s have left their mark on the band.

The album is littered with bitter references to drug casualties and the ensuing emotional aftermaths. Scott Garrett's drums are boosted up hip-hop heavy, Billy Duffy's guitar sounds eerier and Ian Astbury's lyrics are just plain vicious. "You dirty hippie girl/Your lips make me swirl" he snarls, and it's obvious that the fun-lovin', free-lovin' '70s nostalgia that originally inspired The Cult is over. The Cult's newest album finds their feet planted firmly in the '90s.
