In the three years since the last Cult album, their absence has been filled by grunge, the latest version of the big guitar sound. Thankfully, the Cult have returned to place their flambouyant stamp on guitar rock.
The newest album, simply titled THE CULT, returns them to the throne of power chordia, but this time around they aren't stuck in their '70s rut. THE CULT is proof the the '90s have left their mark on the band.
The album is littered with bitter references to drug casualties and the ensuing emotional aftermaths. Scott Garrett's drums are boosted up hip-hop heavy, Billy Duffy's guitar sounds eerier and Ian Astbury's lyrics are just plain vicious. "You dirty hippie girl/Your lips make me swirl" he snarls, and it's obvious that the fun-lovin', free-lovin' '70s nostalgia that originally inspired The Cult is over. The Cult's newest album finds their feet planted firmly in the '90s.
