used to love this album, listened to it within the last year, not as mindblowing, not sure if it is changing tastes or larger breadth of knowledge, still fantastic though Eric Singer - drums during first demo version of Sonic Temple 1988 (credited with "special thanks") Leland, John (2 July 1989).

British album certifications – Cult – Sonic Temple". British Phonographic Industry . Retrieved 22 November 2022. Sweet Soul Sister"&"Wake Up Time For Freedom" were remixed at A&M Recording Studios, Hollywood, CA. in December 1988What is perhaps the true highlight of the band in general though, is the nature of the lyrics themselves. Astbury stated in an interview following the release of 'Sonic Temple' that “...with all my lyrics I like to leave them open for people's interpretations and hope that people find themselves within my songs”, and on this particular album, that statement couldn't be any more true. It's the poetic nature of 'Soul Asylum', the mischievous descriptions of the 'Fire Woman' or the sense of realistic American lifestyles in 'New York City' that really show Ian Astbury and Co. to be an intelligent as well as an ambitious group of musicians. This aspect of The Cult's performance has rarely let down the band's most devoted fans, yet it is partly the cause of 'Sonic Temple' being as timeless as it is.
