Love Removal Machine -favorite

(One of my Fav Album Covers)
One year follow up to my favorite album “Love
quote:

The album marked a deliberate stylistic change in the band's sound from gothic rock to more traditional hard rock.
Rick Rubin, the producer on Electric, had been specifically hired to remake the band's sound in an effort to capitalize on the popularity of hard rock, glam metaland heavy metal in the 1980s.

Ian is one of the best frontman of any band, he’s got such great Style and Charisma

The Cult always seemed like a band born of the wrong time for some reason. Simultaenously too early and too late on the scene.

Duffy and Astbury are still making music with malicious intent.

Duffy's guitar is criminally underrated

To me The Cult and Triumph never got the respect they should have...

If you can make it through that album without playing “air” drums or guitar, even for a second, I don’t think we can/should have a beer together.

I was at the Tate Meusem in London a few years ago and when I walked around a corner I saw this....



I could't get this verse out of my head.

Sittin' on a mountain, we're looking at the sun
Plastic fantastic lobster telephone.

Great Album.
