About this deal

Pretty much a strictly better Love. I said Love sounded compressed, but I'm realizing now that that may have been a result of every song off the album sitting in the same range. What is perhaps the true highlight of the band in general though, is the nature of the lyrics themselves. Astbury stated in an interview following the release of 'Sonic Temple' that “...with all my lyrics I like to leave them open for people's interpretations and hope that people find themselves within my songs”, and on this particular album, that statement couldn't be any more true. It's the poetic nature of 'Soul Asylum', the mischievous descriptions of the 'Fire Woman' or the sense of realistic American lifestyles in 'New York City' that really show Ian Astbury and Co. to be an intelligent as well as an ambitious group of musicians. This aspect of The Cult's performance has rarely let down the band's most devoted fans, yet it is partly the cause of 'Sonic Temple' being as timeless as it is. If you want me to go through perhaps the only minor flaw in the album itself, then I suppose I have no choice. Even alongside the brilliance of every one of the songs listed above, the somewhat repetitive and unnecessary nature of 'Automatic Blues' seems to cut the flow slightly in an otherwise near-flawless album. The guitar work is groovy and the other instruments generally follow on as best as they can, but with the album running at almost an hour in length, one can't help but feel if 'Automatic Blues' was purely added as a filler. used to love this album, listened to it within the last year, not as mindblowing, not sure if it is changing tastes or larger breadth of knowledge, still fantastic though The Cult‘s 1989 album Sonic Temple is getting the 30th reissue treatment in September with a series of expanded physical sets.
