The Cult's "Electric"(1987) is one of my all time favorite albums. It is quite possibly The Cult's best effort, and my personal favorite of theirs. Parting from their goth-rock past, "Electric" is straight ahead, heavy, unpretentious, starry-eyed, libido driven 1970's blues rock. Rick Rubin's production gives the album a glossy, yet heavy and fiery sound. Ian Astbury's vocals and Billly Duffy's guitar work are scorching, and the songwriting is incredible. A few of my favorite tracks are "Wildflower" and "Lil' Devil". All tracks are extremely addictive, however. The only song I could do without is their cover of "Born to Be Wild". All in all, "Electric" is a ferocious, adrenaline fueled, classic rock and roll album that should not be missed by anyone. Highly recommended.
Here's "Lil' Devil" and "Wildflower". Enjoy.
