In 2011, The Cult recorded CHOICE OF WEAPON, the bands first new studio album in five years. Long-time Cult collaborator and producer Bob Rock put the finishing touches on the foundations that were laid by producer Chris Goss. The albums 10 tracks, reveal the band at it's rawest and most visceral, encapsulating cinematic visions and themes of love, revolt and redemption. ## Images ![Choice of Weapon - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61YesSVa0CL.jpg) ![Choice of Weapon - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41EsSVEFThL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars 4 1/2 Stars - One of Their Best *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2016* This CD feels like the fully realized evolution of the band that started with "Born Into This" and continued with their Capsules 1 and 2 releases. For years, The Cult operated as a duo after Jamie Stewart left at the conclusion of the "Sonic Temple" touring schedule and long gaps between albums - 94 to 2001 to 2007 - left a trail of inspired but inconsistent work. With "Born Into This", we find The Cult attempting to operate as a fully functioning 4-piece unit with mixed results. Luckily, they carried the same drummer and bassist - Tempesta and Wyse - through the Capsule 1 & 2 sessions in 2010 as it allowed them to gel more fully as a band. The tightness and consistency definitely showed on Capsule releases which included collectively 4 new songs - "Every Man and Woman Is a Star", "Siberia", "Embers", and "Until The Light Takes Us" - and is highly recommended for any Cult fan. These Capsule releases are also included on the 2-CD Bonus Release of this album so, if you can get that version instead, I'd do it. Those four songs were produced with Chris Goss who also was the producer at the outset of the demos for this album. The demos for those songs were the basis for which Bob Rock would come in later and add his studio flourishes. The band's demos with Chris Goss were available as a limited time download titled "Weapon of Choice" and were an interesting window into the songs' embryonic stages.In terms of the songs, here were basic impressions:1) Honey From A Knife - A nice, solid kick-off as it introduced what the group was trying to convey in its 10 tracks. A great siren-like lick introduces the song and proceeds to build on its momentum to an explosive chorus. Great lyrics, vocals, and a garage rock feel despite its vocal overdubs.2) Elemental Light - Curious place for this song, as you expect them to build off the pace set by "Honey From A Knife", but this one starts out softer and climaxes to a nice payoff. The solo and chorus has the feel of something you would have found on "Sonic Temple" without being obvious in its reference if that was the intent. Good song and pure Ian in its vocals and themes.3) The Wolf - A quick, solid rocker from Billy with a very Cult-like riff that reviewers have compared to "Sanctuary" but I don't see that myself. The song is a nice set piece on drums for Tempesta with some solid fills and a tight, driving beat. It keeps the momentum going and distinguishes itself by being different from the others songs on the album.4) Live > Death - This song sounds like what "Holy Mountain" wanted be on "Born Into This" - a slow-building stroll that works nicely into a sprint towards the finish line. Where the former failed and didn't go anywhere, this one moved and teased until it pulled you along into a densely-layered conclusion. Interesting lyrics and vocals as well by Ian.5) For The Animals - Not only one of the best songs on the CD, but among their catalog, this one adds some new wrinkles to the Cults sound. Not only does this kick off with a solid combined intro from Wyse, Tempesta, and Duffy but the vocal back and forth of the verse adds a new element to the Cult's songs that hadn't been heard to this point. Another element I liked was the piano played throughout as it established a nice "high" range to Wyse's bottom. The middle breakdown takes the song, pulls it back like a arrow and slings it into orbit with a explosive solo from Duffy. Just a great song that has all the elements of a Cult classic.6) Amnesia - A quick one that keeps up the pace for the listener. Nice riff, solid hook, nice rhythm, and vocals that clocks in around 3 minutes. Great song.7) Wilderness Now - If there is a soft spot on the album its this song - not bad overall just not as good in comparison to the 9 around it. Its gentle and melodic but doesn't really go anywhere.8) Lucifer - An absolute beast and one of the group's best songs. Complex, layered, and epic this one has so much going on but all the parts between the soaring guitar, Ian's bluesy vocals, and almost gospel-like backing vocals work in unison to create something special. Its tough not to hit the "repeat" button on this one.9) A Pale Horse - Ragged and loose, this is another good example of the Cult taking chances and succeeding. The stop and start nature of it could have ended in a failed experiment but they worked it through to a satisfying conclusion. One of their more unusual tracks but it works and compliments the themes already present on the CD.10) This Night In the City Forever - Great conclusion to a classic CD. This one is dark, heavy and full of intrigue with Ian in full "Morrison"-mode.Make no mistake this is a great CD and a highlight in The Cult's discography. This one sounds like it was created by a "band" as opposed to two longtime members and its shows in the song quality and consistency. Credit due to Bob Rock to help them realize their vision - listening to the "Weapon of Choice", the final product definitively highlighted his contributions. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars ~ Awesomeness ~ *by C***I on Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2023* ~ {"Great Customer Service"} ~ Fast Shipping, Produce Arrived in~tact (Not Broken) "Thank You" !! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Casual Cult fan digs this *by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2013* I'm a casual The Cult fan. I like some older songs here and there, but was only inspired to buy a full length with 'Beyond Good and Evil' (which I think is 4 stars, too). My favorite song by them is 'Painted on My Heart' from the Gone in Sixty Seconds soundtrack. I didn't care for their last cd 'Born into This' -- just didn't care for the songwriting. Just a little background to frame my opinion, in case you are in the same boat as me (not a die-hard old school Cult fan).With all of that said, I found this CD to be right on par with 'Beyond Good and Evil' and I enjoy it. Solid slab of rock. The production is modern and thick, the vocals sound great and the songwriting is back on track.***The version that Amazon sent me was the "Deluxe Edition" even though the description/track listing didn't indicate that is what I would be sent. BONUS! Came with a bonus CD of 4 additional songs, which are just as good as the rest of the cd. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/15293001-choice-of-weapon](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/15293001-choice-of-weapon) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
