You are in for a treat! Cut at Precision by the great Stephen Marcussen, this sounds like SONIC TEMPLE cut by the legendary Robert Ludwig. HUGE soundstage with plenty of headroom. This sound could fill at stadium! Guitars are bright and crunchy with drums that kick hard. Really sounds like a lost Cult album and for good reason; Astbury/Duffy/Curry all involved. Had the CD back in the day and couldn't understand why this wasn't huge. Then again, everything I really liked always seemed to stay at the fringes of mainstream success.

Final Grade: 4.26
