I&#8217;ve been listening to this album since it came out. It&#8217;s in my top 5 for most listened to records. The production and mixes are amazing everything has space to breathe, and yet it stay right in your face. It&#8217;s so much more than I was expecting from a Cult record at the time &#8211; they were wandering back and forth between psychedelia and a slightly post-punk gothic sound that thematically flirted with indigenous religions and vague mysticism \u00e1 la the Doors. Their first 3 albums were unsettled and lacked cohesion. Sonic Temple is a great album that begs for end-to-end playthroughs. It deserves the kind of attentive listening people seem to reserve for give Pink Floyd&#8217;s &#8220;The Wall&#8221;. But really, I need to talk about Billy Duffy&#8217;s guitar playing. Mr. Duffy manages to make everything sing, across the whole album. Every tone is carefully sculpted, every note feels right- taken as a whole, this album is a virtuoso performance from one of the 1980s most under appreciated guitarists. Phenomenal album. Absolutely worth spending some time with.
