Choice of Weapon has
already begun to get stellar press reviews, with the consensus being
that it's the band's best album since their Platinum-selling Sonic Temple. Both the UK's Mojo and Record Collector gave it a 4-Star review with Record Collector proclaiming it to be "their best album in years - probably decades;" Q
magazine called it "brilliant," and response from U.S. outlets has been
as enthusiastic: "...the group's most incisive, infectious, and
irresistible album ever..." "...Choice of Weapon captures the
best essence of the band's sound from Electric and Sonic Temple while
pushing it forward..." "...pretty sensational..."
The
Cult's appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" precedes the band's busy
summer touring schedule that kicks off May 25 in San Diego, CA with the
first leg of its 2012 North American Tour. The 20-date trek will take
the band to major and secondary markets across the continent, and
includes shows in New York and Los Angeles. A three-week European
