Track listing

The Cult‘s 1989 album Sonic Temple is getting the 30th reissue treatment in September with a series of expanded physical sets. Eric Singer - drums during first demo version of Sonic Temple 1988 (credited with "special thanks") 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

a b Willman, Chris (21 May 1989). "The Cult 'Sonic Temple.' Sire". Los Angeles Times . Retrieved 22 June 2020. Haven’t got an OG to compare but given that that the OG is close to an hour on one disc. I’d be guessing this album has definitely benefited from being mastered into two discs. 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.

Sweet Soul Sister"&"Wake Up Time For Freedom" were remixed at A&M Recording Studios, Hollywood, CA. in December 1988 saw them open for Guns n Roses last year and they were a little underwhelming......ian was very lazy with his vocalsPretty 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.
