THE CULT: Sonic Temple Vinyl LP
The album that took The Cult from post-punk darlings to legitimate arena rock contenders.
Sonic Temple (1989), produced by Bob Rock, is the band's most polished and commercially successful record -- a full embrace of big-riff, big-production hard rock that split the band's existing fanbase while winning a massive new one. "Fire Woman" and "Edie (Ciao Baby)" became genuine rock radio staples, while Ian Astbury's vocal theatrics and Billy Duffy's massive guitar tone were tailor-made for the era's stadium stages. This Beggars Banquet pressing (BBQ 2151) brings the record back in its original label configuration.
