| | The Cult Discography: Electric |
 | | Together, Love and Electric form a natural progression towards Sonic Temple that followed in 1989. | | | The Cult still play many of these songs live, including Wild Flower, Peace Dog, Lil' Devil and Love Removal Machine, and they seem to love playing this material as much as their audience loves hearing it. | | | It's the favorite Cult album of hard rock and metal fans, and for good reason -- it grabs you hard and doesn't let go. |

| | And for having a reputation for being rock posers, I have found their catalog to be hit (Love) and miss (Ceremony, Electric). | | | Truthfully, "The Cult" is so different from everything the band had done prior that it was pretty much guaranteed to be released to a negative reaction, but it's an album that deserves a careful chance. | | | The sound of the Cult is still rooted in early 1980s gothic/alternative but the distorted guitars of Electric and Sonic Temple have been slimmed down to a more subtle production. |

| | Beggars Banquet Records - artists - Love and Rockets |
| | Love and Rockets have come full circle with the forthcoming reissue of their debut album, 'Seventh Dream Of Teenage Heaven'. | | | Formed in 1985 almost 2 years after the demise of cult goth pioneers Bauhaus, Love and Rockets reunited Daniel Ash (vocals and guitar), David J (vocals and bass) and Kevin Haskins (drums). | | | Something of a blessing in disguise (the band had been unhappy at American's lack of promotion), Love and Rockets hooked up with Red Ant and electronic maestro, producer Doug Deangelis to begin work on their final album. |

| | Splendid: Departments: The Essential Albums |
| | Love is arguably The Cult's best album, but it's often overshadowed by the differences between it and the music on the band's breakthrough albums, Electric and Sonic Temple. | | | Each album's title is a propos -- Love is a gothic, psychedelic, melodic album, whereas the words "electric" and "sonic" are apt descriptions of the band's later work. | | | Even listeners who do not own (or have never heard) Love have undoubtedly heard "She Sells Sanctuary", the album's most popular cut -- it finds its way onto all the edgier eighties compilations, and lately seems to be licensed for a new TV commercial every few months. |

| | This album could hardly be more different than Love released just two years prior, but they'd scrapped 12 tracks recorded in 1986 (known alternately as the Peace album or The Manor Sessions) and then re-recorded the album with Rick Rubin. | | | The Cult still play many of these songs live, including Wild Flower, Peace Dog, Lil' Devil and Love Removal Machine, and they seem to love playing this material as much as their audience loves hearing it. | | | It's the favorite Cult album of hard rock and metal fans, and for good reason -- it grabs you hard and doesn't let go. |

| | Sadly the House of Love are destined to remain a cult group and the recent Best of and Peel Sessions albums have both failed to re-ignite the critical acclaim the band once received. | | | In last years biography, Alan McGee name-checked the House of Love debut album as one of the top-ten albums released by Creation records. | | | The first thing that strikes you about the House of Loves re-issue of their Creation material is the packaging. |

| | 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. | | | The revved-up singles "Love Removal Machine" and "Lil' Devil" best exemplify ELECTRIC, which is arguably the band's best album. |

| | Recorded Music: Album of the Year, 2005 |
| | It is the heaviest album I have heard since Cult of Luna's Salvation or Isis's Panopticon, only instead of the metalcore alternation of gruff and sung vocals of Isis and Cult of Luna, Jesu features Broadrick's melancholic, clean tenor, sometimes multi-tracked into harmonies and nearly obliterated behind a wall of reverb and delay. | | | The style of metal Godflesh defined on that first album is at the core of what I love about metal now: precise, heavy, chilly, and at least a little misanthropic. | | | The thing I love most about Godflesh's early albums is the wistfulness that hangs around the edges of their music. |

| | Scaling back on the grand ambitions of the previous Fields album - the cult classic '69 Love Songs' - Merritt's new album 'i' offers more wry observations on love, the only time where history is written by the losers. | | | His previous Fields work, '69 Love Songs', was a sprawling 3-disc kaleidoscope of dizzying eclecticism and fast-acting pop thrills, a bona fide classic whose stature will grow with the years. | | | Since then, two wonderful albums as The 6ths ('Hyacinths and Thistles') and Future Bible Heroes ('Eternal Youth') have allowed him to escape the inevitable expectation surrounding a new Magnetic Fields album. |

| | The Cult in VERTEBRAE X-RAY |
| | The album was a combination of styles that The Cult adopted on Love and Electric. | | | With this line-up, The Cult put out a fairly obscure album (in the states) entrenched in Native American mysticism (coming chiefly from Astbury, who reportedly has a bit of Native American blood in his background) called Dreamtime. | | | Electric was, at the time, The Cult's most successful album. |

| | About: The Official Cloud Cult Website --- Albums, Bios, MP3s, News |
| | In January of 2004, Cloud Cult added Mara Stemm on bass and released "Aurora Borealis", just six months after the release of "They Live on the Sun." Reviewers noted the album's messaging was as philosophical as the previous release, but somehow slipped deeper into the struggles with mortality and lost love. | | | Although Minowa continued to compose, record and produce the songs, the new album would also prove to be the first Cloud Cult album that accurately captures the sound of the full live band as a whole, rather than previous Cloud Cult albums where the live band was more a reflection of the CD. | | | Established as a not-for-profit music centered environmental and philosophical movement, Cloud Cult and the band's self-created record label, Earthology Records, are providing music lovers across the U.S. with some of the most intelligent revolutionary music on the market today. |

| | Love is fairly gentle, compared to the expectations of a heavy sound from the Cult. | | | The back cover lists and songs and symbols and suggests some sort of equation which ends up with "The Cult." The album are not nearly that coherent of course but does show the range of the band's music. | | | After Love the band began work on an album to be title Peace (songs from this work are available as the Manor Sessions). |

| | Amazon.com: The Alternative to Love: Music |
| | That increased profile meant that Alternative to Love received more attention than either his largely ignored 1996 debut, One Mississippi, or his 2002 cult classic Lapalco, suggesting that the album was a creative breakthrough when it really just delivered more of the same smart, hooky classicist pop that distinguished his first album. | | | As he was working on his third album, Alternative to Love, his friendship with White Stripes mastermind Jack White intensified, leading to a collaboration (unreleased as of this writing), which raised Benson's profile considerably around the time of the album's spring release in 2005. | | | I was doing a bit of research on this album and I found out that Benson recorded the album and then handed the tapes over to the producer with the instruction to 'fill out' the sound.This was a masterstroke.The producer added keyboards, vocal dubs and other technical flourishes to give the album a fuller sound. |

| | This incarnation of the cult band Hindu Love Gods saw three-fourths of REM--- guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and then-drummer Bill Berry---team up with late vocalist-pianist Warren Zevon for a wild studio romp consisting of various blue covers and their takes on some pop tunes. | | | Most of the members of REM got together to express their love for great American roots music by cutting a blues album under the name Hindu Love Gods, and the result rocks! | | | For such off the cuff material, it sure sounds like the four Love Gods were having a ball. |

| | Spectres is the Blue Oyster Cult's love album, both literally romantic and allegorical, and the band's view of such liaisons is as dynamic as its relationship with its audience. | | | On its first album, the Cult sang about "Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll," and the theme is the same here: Godzilla rips apart Tokyo with the same monstrous bravado of the riffing guitars that destroyed the kids. | | | But by the time it recorded its live album, the Cult was in a bind: its popularity had plateaued and its audience was almost exclusively composed of guitar-hungry, get-down kids. |

| | Love and Rockets: Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven - Release Music Magazine review |
| | This gift from Beggars Banquet, home of The Cult, Gary Numan and others, isn't perhaps of the Suicide-magnitude, but Love and Rockets' 1985 debut album "Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven" is still a very relevant piece of music history. | | | But despite this very eclectic approach, Love and Rockets maintains an extraordinary strong integrity. | | | Instead of the motherband's gothic gloom, Love and Rockets have a much more genre-spanning approach. |

| | This first Love album had established him as a rising musical force, and though his idiosyncracies have kept him from reaching his full musical potential, he maintains a strong cult following to this day. | | | Love always tried to be different and that's something that one can't ignore, especially when regarding their metamorphosis from stonesy party rockers to colourful psychedelicists and purveyors of baroque pop in just two years together(their debut's line up that is). | | | This might be the lesser of their magical trilogy but it still easily holds its own as an impressive, rocking, album and a magnificent debut full of memorable moments. |

| | HYBRIDMAGAZINE.COM REVIEWS The Cult - Beyond Good and Evil |
| | "Rise," the first single off of the Cult's new album, is like the badass stepchild of the classic 1985 Love album, with a spiraling electric guitar line, huge chorus, and the unadulterated ideals of rock 'n' roll stamped like tattoos on each lean-muscled forearm. | | | This may be the first Cult album where the two polarities of Duffy (bleach-blond rough 'n' tumble axe-man) and Astbury (raven-haired rock mystic) aren't fighting for dominance, though saying they've found a middle ground would be implying a compromise. | | | This song should be a staple of all future Cult live shows as it is a certifiable rouser and captures perfectly the energy this band projects. |

| | Although The Cult are unlikely to ever again produce an album as virtually perfect as LOVE they continue to write excellent songs. | | | The Cult's last release was 1994 and on the basis of this album compared to the lack lustre solo outputs of Duffy & Astbury, the break would have appear to have done them some good. | | | I was never really a cult fan apart from buying the Electric they were only a "goth" rock band in my eyes which I happened to like a few songs!, I actually borrowed this album first from my local library with the attitude" oh yeah.... |
