This 2003 album marked a return to a harder, more direct rock sound for the band, eschewing the overt gothic and psychedelic influences of some earlier work.
- Recorded in Los Angeles with producer Steve Lillywhite, who had previously worked with the band on their 1989 album "Sonic Temple".
- The album's release on Beggars Banquet was a homecoming of sorts, as the label had released the band's early EPs and singles in the UK.
- While not reaching the chart heights of their 1980s work, "Electric" was seen by critics as a strong statement of intent from a veteran rock band.
The Cult is a British rock band known for their shamanistic lyrics and guitar-driven sound, with roots in post-punk and gothic rock. Emerging in the early 1980s, they evolved into arena-rock titans by the end of the decade. This 2003 release finds them operating in the hard rock and alternative scenes, well past their initial period of international fame.
