Cut is an album by Dutch hard rock band Golden Earring, released in 1982 (see 1982 in music). The album spawned the hit song "Twilight Zone," which reached #1 in the Netherlands and #1 in the United States on Billboard's Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks (it reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100.)
The album's cover image is the iconic 1964 photo Cutting the Card Quickly taken by M.I.T. Professor "Doc" Edgerton showing the jack of diamonds playing card being shredded by a bullet. The image is used in the music video of "Twilight Zone" in which the card represents the life of the rogue espionage agent.
A music video was also made to support the second single released from the album, "The Devil Made Me Do It." However, the song/video saw limited airplay in the United States, because its lyrics contain the word "bullshit."
All songs written by Hay and Kooymans except where noted.
