This is thematically a very dark and personal album, written by vocalist Ian Astbury to reflect on his own personal crises and negative experiences through life, but this feeling is never adequately expressed through the music. Even the opener 'Gone' just sounds like a needless swearathon, lacking the convincing display of anger to justify all those expletives. Other songs are just offensive for being so du...more |

The Cult's self-titled sixth album was their final release before the band split, not permanently as it eventually transpired, and is also probably their least known and least liked. The band's decline had been several years in the making, seeing them fall from grace as a leading gothic band of the eighties to a mediocre hard rock act supported only by the guitar talents of Billy Duffy, and 'The Cult' doesn't have an awful lot going for it. Unless you're the band members themselves, who generally consider it the peak of their musical career.

Products similar to Cult - The Cult
Moving, relaxing, varied, Builds upon its predecessor while adding new elements 
None Great vocals and music, even like the concept None Fantastic original songs and covers Ridelly diddely - does make you giggle at first Excellent guitars and highly distinctive song structures. May not please fans of more traditional death metal styles. Excellent husky vocal performance, a fine display of instrumental power. A lack of musical diversity is shown here, the tracks are all incredibly similar.War Master - Bolt Thrower
More accessible without compromise. Medium tempo is less thrilling.
The Unexpected - Beautiful Sin
Power metal that balances melody and heaviness. Female vocals are occasionally unimpressive, and the Helloween "cover" is plain cheeky.
The Scream - Siouxsie and the Banshees
Original for its time, highly influential Certainly not to everyone's tastes.....
The Acoustic Adrian Belew Vol.1 - Adrian Belew
You may be a fan of acoustic albums. Dull and repetitive, with weak material.
Teknowhore - Bile
More atmospheric and compelling than the previous album. Some bizarre commercial deviations that don't sit well, and generally overlong and tedious.
State Of Control - Barren Cross
A more finely-honed performance, introducing progressive elements. Glam tendencies remain to spoil it.
Io Sono Nato Libero - Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso
Higher production values and continuation of the classical style. Structural problems from the first album are back in full force, spoiling all songs to some extent.
His Last Walk - Bless The Fall
If you really, really need to hear some more emo. Sounds the same as everything else.
Grind Bastard - Benediction
Catchy, riff-driven death metal, with some interesting classic rock/metal covers. Sound is repetitive, and the album perhaps lasts a little too long for its style.
Blindside - Blindside
A less aggro-centric Slipknot with slightly more musical ability. Nothing original, merely an obvious smorgasbord of influence.
