Customer Reviews of Sonic Temple
The Cult are the real deal. Sonic Temple is FIVE STARS. When I bought my first CD player in 1990, Sonic Temple was the first disc I bought. All these years later, The Cult is still one of the greatest (and most underappreciated) acts in modern music history.
The Cult -- and especially the album Sonic Temple -- are quality. They're the real deal. Tracks like Edie (Ciao Baby), Sweet Soul Sister and American Horse deserve to be modern classics. There were a thousand "hard rock" acts in the '80s but few if any produced real music that will stand the test of time and the scrutiny of educated music lovers.
While Guns 'N' Roses and Motley Crue can today be clearly seen as the adolescent lightweights they always were, The Cult has aged well. In hindsight, it is clear that The Cult were always more mature, more spiritual and far deeper musically than other '80s acts of the same genre. The Cult is destined to be remembered as one of the great hard rock acts along with the likes of Zeppein, Steppenwolf, The Doors, and [more recently] The Black Crowes and Soundgarden.
The Cult's best record
If you must buy one recording by The Cult, this is the one. I would give very few records 5 stars, but 1989's 'Sonic Temple' is one of them. Emerging from the late 1980s era of glam metal and mindless dance music, this was the welcomed return of rock music - a perfect combination of the ethereal elements of The Cult's major label debut, 'Love', and the bombastic rock of their sophmore outing, 'Electric'. Of course, everyone knows "Fire Woman," the record's catchy jam, and "Edie", the tribute to Warhol's muse which defied the contemporary power-ballad circa 1989. All the familiar Cult themes are here - peace ("Soldier Blue"), Native American ("American Horse"), drug-culture ("Medicine Train"). But unlike their other efforts, this record is top-notch from start to finish - the Zeppelinesque "Soul Asylum", the anthemic "Wake Up Time for Freedom", and the manic "New York City" (with appropriate backing vocals by Iggy Pop) - putting the ROCK back into Alternative Rock with the help of producer Bob Rock (who would go on to produce Metallica's eponymous and most successful record, as well as the new Cult album).
4 stars and loving it!
A five is nearly impossable to get .So with that in mind I have to say that any unbiased smart listener will know this cd to be what it is , And that happens to be ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!
