Description
Eighth studio album from the reformed Cult, originally released in 2007, expanded with a CD of bonus material.
Their sole release for Roadrunner Records, with The Cults core team of Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy joined by Chris Wyse (Ace Frehley, Ozzy Osbourne and The Hollywood Vampires) on bass and backing vocals and John Tempesta (Exodus, Testament and White Zombie) on drums and percussion.
Its a wholehearted, utopian and irrefutably exciting record. MOJO
Aside from the occasional flourish of their post-punk gothic past, most of the record is the dirtiest and heaviest hard rock theyve recorded since the 80s.
AllMusic
They return to what made them one of the 80s most reliable riff-heavy outfits. SPIN
Featuring the singles Dirty Little Rockstar and Illuminated. Produced by Youth, who also lends his bass guitar on the album. The original release comes as a 2CD Savage Edition with a 5-track bonus CD featuring Stand Alone, War Pony Destroyer, I Assassin (Demo), Sound Of Destruction (Demo) and Savages (Full Length Version), all included here.
On Born Into This you cant really argue that the song writing partnership of Astbury/Duffy is simply outstanding once again. The old swaggering pomp and stomp that The Cult made their trademark is as ever present, with Billy Duffys crunching riffs and Astburys trademark vocals to the fore.
