THE CULT-WildFlower

But quite frankly, the rest of the record falls way short, either marred by oddball production choices (the second vocal shout of "baby" overdubbed on the tail-end of the not-as-good-as-it-should-be "Peace Dog", the total production wreck of "Aphrodisiac Jacket") or being simply unmemorable ("Electric Ocean", "King Contrary Man"). And then there's the spectacular misfire in covering Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild". It's tough to say what's worse, the sludgy rhythm guitars, the completely lifeless drum performance (and for that matter, production, the drums sound ludicrous), Duffy's totally disjoint (and not in a good way) guitar solo, Astbury's bizarre attempt at what I can only assert must be an teen-angst soaked sneer or the stunning bad idea of adding a whispered harmony now and again. It is though, one of those pieces that I really revel in disliking, so I suppose it's worth hearing.

[Kelly14UK]

Although my favorites and uploads don't show it, this is my favorite band of all time. So many brilliant recordings both studio, Radio One, live and of course that incredible Lyceaum 1984 ( impossible to buy in the shops).

The Cult's 1987 version of Born To Be Waah- haald is BETTER than Steppenwolfs' and that's the end of it.

Yup.

The Cult always has been a great band and to this day their sound is still incredible. Not a missed chord.
