| 4.0 excellent | AmbushReality | January 10th 20 |
*Peace* was the original follow up to Love that was scrapped, and *Electric* came out in its place. *Electric Peace* is the two-CD compilation featuring both albums, with *Peace* being released for the first time thought many of the tracks were reworked and appeared on *Electric.* Admittedly, I was not alive during this era (born in '94), but I was drawn to the Cult like most others, with "She Sells Sanctuary." *Love* was a truly unique sounding record, and a few years later, *Sonic Temple* produced a rather diverse take on hard rock. *Electric* sits in the middle as a kind of bland, AC/DC-derivative, straightforward rock record. Its not bad by any means -- in fact its incredibly consistent. But after hearing *Peace,* I'm puzzled as to why the band disliked it and chose to re-record the album that resulted in *Electric.* Across the board, sonically, *Peace* feels like the much more natural transition bridge between *Love* and *Sonic Temple.* It has the colorful tones and atmosphere of *Love,* with the attitude and similar style of *Sonic Temple.* Its cool to hear more tunes from that era of the Cult, when Ian Astbury's pipes were still top notch and Billy Duffy's guitar work was original and colorful as ever.
