[kj] OT: Angry music

Actually BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL ain't bad, but I guess I expect more from them, really. Haven't paid much attemtion to the latest album, but I'm seeing them Thursday, so let's hope it's good...

Regarding the Cult, I liked everything up to and including SONIC TEMPLE, but it all turned pear-shaped after that. The eponymous "comeback" album (the one with the goat) had some fine moments on it as well. BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL has never been played more than two or three times on my disc player, alas -- it's not *bad*, but I just never really think about it. Haven't picked up the new one, and probably won't, I have to say.

Still, love DREAMTIME, LOVE and ELECTRIC.

Curiously enough, I was never terribly fond of the Death Cult/'Dreamtime' era- there was some good material there, but I never rated the music as highly as Southern Death Cult or 'Love' and 'Sonic Temple'. I rarely listen to 'Electric' any more, and never 'Ceremony' or the later albums. They really lost it post-'Sonic Temple', but prior to that they were a constantly evolving, consistently interesting rock band. 'Ceremony' was the first album that wasn't a departure from its predecessor- SDC, 'Dreamtime', 'Love', 'Electric' and 'Sonic Temple' all showed the band moving on and exploring new ideas. A decent part of Brit rock/goth history.

And, yes, I like The Cult, but particularly the early stuff, which was when they were a proper band, before rock stardom & AC/DC rip-offs. 1983's Live at the Lyceum is yet another all-time classic live gig.
