This week's Mandatory Cult track is actually from their most recent album Under The Midnight Sun. I know there has been a lot of debate, at least on Facebook about the album. Half love it and half don't. I'm in the love it camp. It reminds me of the darker early days. My only complaints are it could have had at least two more faster tempo songs and two songs could have totally had an extended ending with some Billy Duffy guitar soloing.

I wrote up a piece on Substack about Sanctuary & my first time hearing The Cult. If you have any interest in checking it out: https://substack.com/@theunheardmusic/note/c-266864148

Been a massive fan since '85, have seen them 34 times live and happy to be able to play their music for long time fans and new listeners on my podcast/show. I have a semi-regular feature called the Mandatory Cult Track of The Week. Last week was perfect for the anniversary of Sanctuary but I played my favorite remix. Posting the link to check it out and if it's ok in this group, I can drop future episodes when I play The Cult? Thanks!
