   Summary: One of the best bands...
The Cult is one of the greastest bands ever on this planet..."She Sells Sanctuary", and "Wild Hearted Son" and many other amazing written songs. this is a band you would have to listen to. Its a combo of Zeppelin and The Who.

   Summary: Pure Cult is Powerfully Different
When you hear this CD, you will notice that the band's sound varies from track to track. However, this is refreshing because sometimes metal bands' songs tend to sound the same. Having only heard "Sonic Temple," this CD was a treat to me, having never heard the majority of the songs.

"She Sells Sanctuary" is an awesome 80's song. Think U2 with more balls vocally. "In the Clouds" is pure, Rick Rubinesque- inspired hard rock. The second verse is amazingly simplistic and yet anthemic. "Coming Down (Drug Tongue)" and "Star" are hedonistic, hung-over, strung-out tunes a lot unlike the songs from "Sonic Temple" and "Ceremony" but nonetheless powerful.

Like Zeppelin, The Cult's lyrics are spare but memorable...

"I'm just a breed of society..." (Wild Hearted Son).

"I took no holy vow, won't you hold this pagan soul?" (Star).

"I'm sure in her you'll find...Sanctuary....and the world..the world drags you down" (She Sells Sanctuary)

"Stroll your bones, yeah, sow your oats" (In the Clouds).

"You've gotta bleed a little while you sing...lest the words don't mean a thing" (Heart of Soul).

"All you hip young things...trying to make a scene....living out forbidden dreams" (Sweet Soul Sister).

"Can't eat, can't sleep, can't do a thing right, little honey...since I set my eyes on you" (Fire Woman)

"Well, the girl's coming to you...gonna show you what is true...the witch, she need a lover boy...maybe it could be you...took awhile to understand....whoa yeah...try your sex on a mortal man" (The Witch).

"I'm coming down...you baptize me...I don't wanna drown...yeah, your drug tongue's spoken" (Coming Down).

"A sweet little sugar talker...a paradise, dream stealer...Warhol's little queen...an angel with a broken wing" (Edie [Ciao Baby]).

And the leads are simple yet beautiful. There's no over-the-top, mile-a-minute excesses here. Just well-planned, melodic, and well-timed masterpieces.

This is an outstanding compilation of The Cult. Buy this CD!

   Summary: Great Hard Rock!
The Cult were one of the greatest arena hard rock bands of the 1980's. They acheived their greatest success with 1989's GNR-ish Sonic Temple, but their earlier, more goth flavored sound is just as spectacular. It opens with the impossibly catchy 'She Sells Sanctuary', which is my all-time favorite Cult song. It then goes into the arena anthem 'Fire Woman', which is a really, really good song. The third track is the highly amplified blues rocker, 'Lil Devil'. All the other songs, including the AC/DC influenced "Love Removal Machine" and the lighter-waving ballad "Edie" are all great songs. But there is one little problem: The version of 'Sun King' included on this album is the shorter, radio edited version. This sucks, because 'Sun King' is probably one of their best songs and the entire track should have been included. No matter, this is an all-encompassing collection of one of the greatest hard rock bands ever. Also try Soundgarden, GNR.

   Summary: Rip Off
You can buy the same cd, at least 18 of the 19 songs under high octane cult for $3.69 in Amazon used. CD has nice music if you like Cult ! But dont fool yourself, they are no Def Leppard or Iron Maden, however, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!!!

   Summary: Pure Single Driven Cult
When Beggars Banquet Records took over the rereleases of The Cult's albums (yes, I know about the Southern Death Cult and Death Cult rereleases) it only made sense to update 1993's 'Pure Cult' somewhat and kick off the rereleases (of those, 'Dreamtime', 'Love', 'Electric' and 'Sonic Temple' have excellent expanded over the top packaging with interviews, single discographies and pictures or artwork. For some reason, 'Ceremony' and 'The Cult' didn't get the same treatment) in the US. Although some of the edits on here are horrible ("Sweet Soul Sister" - if anyone has noticed, the single edit has always excluded the bridge, whereas the 7 inch edit, as the promo CD says, has the bridge with additional guitar tracks from the LP version as well as the edit to make the bridge shorter - this is the same as the video music), the best edits are that of "Spiritwalker", "Heart Of Soul", "The Witch", "Coming Down" and "Star". All the singles are here and it's an excellent album (they could have left "Revolution" off and put "Nirvana" on instead, personally). My copy has the 'Cult Rising' ticket stub in it, seeing that all they played that tour were the hits and some classic album tracks. This is a great start to The Cult if you haven't heard them or own any other albums.
