On this day, October 18, 1985, The Cult released their second album Love. The album reached #87 on the Billboard charts in the U.S. but was a much bigger hit in the UK, where it peaked at #4. Love marked a turning point for the band, blending post-punk with hard rock and creating anthems like “She Sells Sanctuary.” The album became a defining moment in their career, establishing The Cult as a force in both the alternative and rock scenes.

Do you think Love deserves to be ranked higher in the U.S., or was it more fitting for the UK audience?
