    If we’re talking about Love and Electric I’m with you. Middle period I like to forget about. More recent stuff is solid.

      I love the earlier stuff all the way up to Sonic Temple….maybe even the one after that. Haven’t heard anything beyond that so I’m trying to play catch-up with the newer albums

        The Cult - Phoenix


        David Holmes - $165 million + interest

        I remember hearing this David Holmes track on the Ocean's 12 soundtrack and thinking it sounded familiar. I like David Holmes but this sounds like a straight rip of Phoenix  😃

          Have a listen to the last three records. Sonic Temple was a low for me.

            Love and Electric are definitely my faves. Oddly enough, i've never listened to Dreamtime so i'll have to queue that up on Youtube and give it a listen. The reason why I love Sonic Temple so much is that it's the album I listened to the most when I moved from Japan to the US in '89. Went through a rough patch when my parents divorced so it's one of the albums that got me through it all  😎

              Ha! I jammed "Fire Woman" and "Sweet Soul Sister" this weekend

              Think it, be it.

                Hidden City and Born Into This are pretty damn solid albums, as was Beyond Good and Evil. Obviously the earlier stuff was great.

                  Totally a return to form. It's that middle period stadium rock that was a let down for me.

                    Gothy poppy post-punk
                    Danzig-esque hard rock (Rubin common between Danzig and Electric) and the records a year apart
                    Stadium glam
                    Not sure what happened after that

                    I like all of the above phases with which I'm familiar, but a very diverse career.

                      After a lengthy hiatus they returned with Born Into This, a very well made, gritty, tight, hard rock album. Pretty much carried on in that vein.

                        So, back to Electric then, sounds like.

                          Bought this Danzig-Danzig CD a few weeks ago second hand in my favorite shop, because I thought it was lost.
                          Introduced it to my son and it was a short walk for him to his rack, to sort out my original one…..

                              Not really.  On Electric Rubin’s stripped down production really defines the album. The songs are like blues rock with pop song structures and production.

                              Born Into This is much grittier and heavier, with a broader, more layered sonic profile. The song writing is much more mature as well. Give it a listen if you have a minute. I’d be interested to hear what you think.

                                The Cult have just released amazing remaster reissues of their early albums on 180g vinyl, for any fellow audiophiles out there.

                                  there's also Electric Peace to listen to. It's the first version of Electric, produced by Steve Brown (Love producer) before Rubin got his hands on it. Very interesting to compare and contrast, and appreciate RRs great work - "Lads, have you ever heard AC/DC?".
                                  Always worth going a little further back and listening to Southern Death Cult too.
                                  Saw them on the Love tour at the Birmingham Odeon - really miss that venue - now a multi screen cinema

                                      I'm surprised that you like "Born Into This" and not "Sonic Temple." The former is to me a fusion of the latter and "Electric," and being less stripped down than "Electric," favors "Sonic Temple" more. YMDV!

                                          I think I find BIT grittier and a little more edgy than ST. ST seems glossy at times, a bit polished.

                                          EDIT: For context, while I love sonic wizardry, when it comes to rock n roll I prefer it dirty and messy. The Hold Steady have been my absolute favourite band these last 15 years.
