THE CULT-WildFlower

But quite frankly, the rest of the record falls way short, either marred by oddball production choices (the second vocal shout of "baby" overdubbed on the tail-end of the not-as-good-as-it-should-be "Peace Dog", the total production wreck of "Aphrodisiac Jacket") or being simply unmemorable ("Electric Ocean", "King Contrary Man"). And then there's the spectacular misfire in covering Steppenwolf's "Born to Be Wild". It's tough to say what's worse, the sludgy rhythm guitars, the completely lifeless drum performance (and for that matter, production, the drums sound ludicrous), Duffy's totally disjoint (and not in a good way) guitar solo, Astbury's bizarre attempt at what I can only assert must be an teen-angst soaked sneer or the stunning bad idea of adding a whispered harmony now and again. It is though, one of those pieces that I really revel in disliking, so I suppose it's worth hearing.
