Product Description

Amazon.com

The notion that rock must perpetually break new ground and reinvent itself is the odious legacy of 10 too many years of rock-crit navel gazing, and one that young Australian power trio Wolfmother stands gleefully on its head with their effusive debut. Hardly surprising to find a new generation's reaction to a decade of shoe-gazing alternative rock angst to be a return to the guilty pleasures of unabashed, blues-based stadium rock--even if they seem unsure whether they're channeling the early Zep scream 'n' sludge frenzy of the single "Woman" or adopting The White Stripes' stripped-down ethos on "Apple Tree" and elsewhere. They bravely mix suspect '70s lyrical thematics ("White Unicorn," "Where Eagles Have Been," "Tales") with usual suspects like Sabbath ("Dimension"), stir in the neo-prog of "Colossal," "Witchcraft," and "Tales," (the latter complete with Tull-savvy flute break), then toast Soundgarden and Queens of the Stone Age on "Mind's Eye" and elsewhere. Their frightfully funk-challenged "Love Train" gets promptly derailed, making one yearn for a hit of Eagles of Death Metal for relief, but its wreckage only proves how far Wolfmother is willing to push the envelope in forging their often intoxicating evocation of the past as future. --Jerry McCulley

4.0 out of 5 stars RAD., Mar 19 2007

By	momo_adachi (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

For those of us who were not as fortunate as others and never had the chance to grow up listening to Zeppelin, The Who, Pink Floyd or Alice Cooper on the FM back in the day, there are bands like Wolfmother. Though so many people complain that Wolfmother are some sort of 'cheap ripoff' of Zeppelin...well... I don't see Led Zeppelin doing intimate club tours anywhere.

As amazing in concert as they are on this fantastically fun, exciting, sexy rock disc, Wolfmother is overall a killer band. Their versitility, epic song structure and production, and some seriously delicious catchy numbers (such as the hands-down standout "Apple Tree" which has simplistic lyrics and danceable, headbanging rock n' freakin' roll) will have you dancing, shaking, sweating, singing and mellowing out in the back of your VW van.

Sure, the 1960s and 1970s may be over and gone, but a little garage/arena hybrid rock revival never hurt anyone.

Highly recommended album. And if you love it, you can't not see Wolfmother in their element, live and on-stage, commanding everyone in front of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Into another di-men-sion, Feb 23 2007

By	E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

New Aussie band Wolfmother are on the rise right now, with their retro hard-rock blend that is equal parts Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. Maybe a bit of Deep Purple thrown in for good measure. With influences like that, this band has a lot to live up to.

But in their self-titled debut album, Wolfmother proves that they are more than the sum of their influences. Their hard rock is murky, raw, and energetic, the sort of thing you can dance or mosh to, and their slower songs are still sharp and wild around the edges. This is definitely one for the fans of good rock'n'roll.

It opens with an earsplitting yell, and if you're not expecting it, it's sure to make you sit up and listen. It's followed by a crunchy, murky mass of hard rock with an otherworldly edge. After getting lost in the desert, "I had to write something down/And I found myself alone, and then I let go of everything/Into another DI-MEN-SION!" frontman Andrew Stockdale hollers.

Things steady out in the songs that follow, with Wolfmother exploring different kinds of hard rock. Yes, every kind I can think of. They dip into everything from steady bass grinds to hard psychedelica to catchy fuzz. And as they explore different sounds and styles, they manage to keep the same rough, wild edge in every song.

Wolfmother even dabble in quieter music in "Mind's Eye," a panoramic rock number with stretches of quiet, almost pretty music, and the closer almost sounds like a folk song at times. This band is in great form in these songs, which show the complexity of their music, but it sounds like the musicians are barely restraining themselves.

There's something almost larger-than-life about Wolfmother's sound, with their wild lyrics and wilder musical skills. That quality is the sign of a really good rock band. They have energy, they have skill, and while their skill leans on that whole Zeppelin/Sabbath sound, they sound fresh.

They also sound loud. These guys sound like they're testing the waters at times, which is the one drawback of "Wolfmother." But even in their weaker moments, they show that they have musical expertise in murky bass, sizzling guitar, and some wicked percussion.

Stockdale's voice is one that takes getting used to. At first he sounds thin and a bit nasal, and his vocalizing is kind of melodramatic. But as the album goes on, his voice will start to grow on you. He can really belt out those songs ("WITCH... CRAAAFT!"), but he can also sing in a more restrained manner. "If you listen to the sound within your mind/you may find the answer glowing in the tide..."

In their rough, raw debut albun, Wolfmother demonstrates that it deserves all the attention it's getting in the rock press. It's "colossal!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Ladies and Gentlemen, start your guitars! Rock and Roll is back!, Dec 22 2006

By	The Critic (Canada) - See all my reviews

Finally! I suffered through the 80's with mediocre bands, surfed the 90's with alternative music, and I am completely lost in the 21st century not sure what to make of it. The more I purchase "new" music, the more I find myself drawn back to the classic Rock and Roll and the Blues.

I have longed for new great bands and performers who would bring quality Rock and Roll like once did by Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix.

My prayers have now been answered. Wolfmother is breaking with the new and bringing back what made Rock and Roll once great.

I will not break this review song by song, but know this, the more you listen to this album, the more you will adore it. I cannot get enough of songs like "Woman" and "Joker and the Thief". Truly marvellous songs.

If you liked Led Zeppelin and the way Robert Plant sounded, you are going to love this album. Make no mistake, they are no imitation. Their music is genuine yet carries the voices of classic Rock and Roll.
