Electric is the third album by British rock band the Cult, released in 1987.[3][4] It was the follow-up to their commercial breakthrough Love. The album equalled its predecessor's chart placing by peaking at number four in the UK but exceeded its chart residency, spending a total of 27 weeks on the chart (the most successful run for an album by The Cult).[5]

The album marked a deliberate stylistic change in the band's sound from gothic rock to more traditional hard rock.[6] Rick Rubin, the producer on Electric, had been specifically hired to remake the band's sound in an effort to capitalize on the popularity of hard rock, glam metal and heavy metal in the 1980s.[7] The album was featured in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

In 2013, the album was re-released as a double CD set under the title Electric Peace, with one disc featuring the originally released album and the second containing the entire Peace album recorded during the Manor Sessions.
