       The Cult's second album, 'Love', was released on 18 October 1985.Building upon their post punk background, the quartet started to incorporate danceable hard rock, resulting in their commercial breakthrough and, by many, now considered the best work of their career."I admit that what we were doing was fairly controversial at the time. It was controversial to be punk rockers and still love Led Zeppelin."09. She Sells Sanctuary#TheCult #AlternativeRock

       "To call an album Love in the aggressive post punk era was seen as potential suicide. I remember going out when She Sells Sanctuary got in the charts and some kid come up and punched me right in the face at a concert. There was so much hatred in his eyes, and all that was because we came from the streets in Brixton, we came from punk rock and I think this guy saw us as breaking the code by not pretending we couldn't play our instruments or for having success."__http://dirtroadblue.blogspot.com/2010/05/ian-astbury-cult-interview-2010.html
