Choice of Weapon is the follow up to the critically-acclaimed 2007 release Born Into This that the UK's Mojo magazine called 'a wholehearted, utopian and irrefutably exciting record.' Long-time Cult collaborator and producer Bob Rock (Metallica, Bush), who produced one of The Cult's most successful albums, the Platinum-certified Sonic Temple, put the finishing touches on the foundations that were laid by co-producer Chris Goss (Queens of the Stone Age, U.N.K.L.E., Masters of Reality).

Awesome album from start to finish. Amazing riffs, great lyrics, superb vox, great songs, well structured and a real winner all the way through. This is the best Cult album since the old days. One of the few bands that still has the drive to make great music. \m/\m/ This is real rock music kids.

Absolutely wonderful record from start to finish. All the things you've liked about the Cult back in the 80s are here, except that the band sounds fresh instead of re-hashing their glorious past. I would say that this easily is the band's best album since Sonic Temple and is right up there with the classics, as hard as that may be to believe given their last few releases. I honestly did not expect a record this good from the Cult at this stage of their career but I'm happy to report that I've been proven wrong.

It's okay but Ian Astbury is sounding kind of old and some of the songs are very repeatative. I would not recommend this album but I was never a big Cult fan just the hits is what I like. The music seems decent enough but the vocal quality is just not there.
