    So, back to Electric then, sounds like.

    Think it, be it.

      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…..
      That’s how it should be!  😃

        And after all this years, this song is still running through my veins…

          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 a big fan of the SDC album

                  Done!

                  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!

                    Boom! This is one of my all time favourite albums. I even have an 'Am I Demon' tattoo.

                    I'm on a massive Thurston Moore kick at the moment and he's bloody playing a local spot in Portsmouth next month with a 500 cap!

                      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.

                        That's completely fair.

                        I remember how cool I thought Ian's gothic native rockstar look was on the Fire Woman video at the time.

                        I guess there must've been an artistic tug of war between the two visionaries, with Ian going in the more mystical, gothic, postpunk vibe versus the hard Rock. It resulted in some great art, but ultimately some misses and probably cost them sustained fandom in many corners because of the inconsistency–never could pin them down, for better or worse.

                        Think it, be it.

                                Highly recommend listening to the Disgraceland podcast if you're a music lover.  There are some seriously crazy musicians out there….  And some with very tragic upbringings.

                                        Prodigious talent. Today's drop from Billy Strings is in the running for Album of the Year for me.

                                          +1 for Billy Strings!

                                          2019 has been fantastic for music, Tyler Childers is leading my list so far.

                                          My contribution, to urban blues…
