This is by far the best album by the Cult. If it weren't for the Pixies, this would be a shoe in for best rock album of the 80's. Overall it's one of the most well crafted, pure ROCK albums out there. Fantastic vocals by Ian. I challenge anybody to top his baritone howls. Billy's solo's are awesome, not to mention the fantastic, though simplistic riffs all over the album. Drumming is great, and the bass fits perfectly. I could do without "Born to be Wild", but the rest of the album is 5 stars in every sense of the rating.
