Review

Cults' third studio album, "Offering," dropped in 2017 and feels like a fresh new chapter for the band. They've switched gears from their darker, more eerie early days to a sound that's bigger and brighter. The title track "Offering" kicks things off with a bang, featuring anthemic stadium-rock beats and lush synthetic layers, all topped off with Madeline Follin's youthful, clear vocals.

The album leans into themes of hope and resilience, with songs like "Offering" extending love and optimism, even when times get tough. Tracks like "I Took Your Picture" and "Nothing Is Written" have super catchy melodies and hooks, though they sometimes miss the mark with specific imagery and emotional depth. Despite that, the production quality is top-notch, making the album feel rich and expansive. Critics mostly dug it, giving it an average score of 71 on Metacritic. All in all, "Offering" marks a positive shift for Cults, embracing a more upbeat vibe while keeping their indie pop charm. - Ethan
