Andy Hinds at AllMusic gave The Voice of the Cult two stars out of five, calling it "mainly a rehash of the band's Ruler of the Wasteland album, which had better songs" while saying that it would appeal to fans of David Chastain's guitar work and Leather Leone's singing.[1] Canadian journalist Martin Popoff notices the better production in comparison with Chastain's previous efforts, but concludes that the album is "as usual, useful as a guitar showcase, laughable as a band recording."[2]

gollark: Roughly. Something like that.
gollark: You *can*, however, open the Lua prompt, and if the capacitor is connected somehow, do, I don't know, `component.capacitor.getEnergyStored()`.
gollark: Not a thing.
gollark: I think your problem may be unrealistic expectations about computers.
gollark: You need an adapter probably, and it's not like there's a simple easy command to do everything.
