2-16-2012: The Cult - Rise

I'm not sure if the Cult is metal, each album seems to be in a genre of its own.  2001's "Beyond Good and Evil" was a breath of fresh air when it hit.  All the "revolutionary" garage band shit was hitting the airwaves in the form of bands like Nickelback, Default, Puddle of Mudd, etc.  Boy, did that shit get tired quick!  Anyway, that album was pretty damn heavy compared to virtually any Cult that came before.  This song was the single that should have kicked Nickelback and Puddle of Shit to the curb back in '01 as it was in rotation on the modern rock radio stations, but sadly, people stuck with the washed up garbage and garage rock became a passing fad a couple of years later.
