The Cult Artist Snapshot:

The Cult began life as a British post-punk/goth outfit in the early '80s called the Southern Death Cult. In due course, Ian Astbury trimmed down not only the band's name but its sound, embracing '70s-style riff-driven hard rock with the help of former Theatre of Hate guitarist Billy Duffy. In the late '80s, Duffy played Page to Astbury's Plant as the band rose to arena rock stardom and tracks which melodically combined powerful rock with goth underpinnings, such as "She Sells Sanctuary," became rock radio staples.

ELECTRIC was the Cult's mainstream breakthrough album in the United States, where the UK band's previous records, DREAMTIME and LOVE, had been embraced by college radio. After unsatisfying sessions with LOVE producer Steve Brown, the Cult hooked up with superstar hip-hop producer (and unapologetic 1970s-boogie fan) Rick Rubin to re-record the tracks, and his changes make the album. Adding a drum sound as loud as his previous work with the Beastie Boys and Run-DMC and beefing up Billy Duffy's lead guitar riffs into full-on Led Zeppelin territory, Rubin completed the Cult's makeover from psych-tinged goths into the '70s-inspired hard-rockers (with a heavy Doors influence, as well). The revved-up singles "Love Removal Machine" and "Lil' Devil" best exemplify ELECTRIC, which is arguably the band's best album.
