| Editorial Reviews: | | |  | | 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 | |

| | Sounding as many other reviews have said like a band from the 70's in the same vein as Zeppelin or Sabbath yet having their own distinct sound at the same time. Its truly amazing to have a band put out an album like this in todays day and age with all the crap the radio works on feeding us. I was completely blown away by this album. Quiet refreshing. I love the psychedelic feel .The only negative I can think of which is there is no lead. If they got a great lead guitarist wow they would be even more amazing. I dont get normally this excited about a new band. Maybe they will wear off after a while but I doubt it. I havent grown tired yet with repeated listens for weeks now. Highly Recommended!
| | If you want SABBATH,HEEP,ZEP,PIE..... | |
| | This band sounds like they're trying to bring the seventies back in a contrived manner----you can't recreate those early masterpieces. Every song is as boring as the next--save your money and get it off the net and then listen to it--more than likely after one or 2 listens it's going to hit the delete bin. Back to my title---if you want those bands just buy their albums and enjoy the real deal.Look at it this way---the original LEVI'S 501 was made a certain way in the good old days in the USA--they've cut costs and farmed it out to China,Bangladesh,South and Central America---The fabric and quality and fit is not the same---we will never get that original 501 back---Zep/Sabs/HumblePie/Heep/Purple mkI//II /Floyd/Bad Co./Free/GFR---they're never coming back as we all knew them circa 1970-75!!!!
For an updated and fresh sound try out PORCUPINE TREE!!
| | | A mostly enjoyable album that sounds like the love child of early Black Sabbath and early Pink Floyd. Spacey but hard with Sabbath like bass lines and slightly more raspy Ozzie-like vocals. However they are missing the most important ingredient that would make this a tasty album - searing guitar solos! There are no true lead guitar parts. Couldn't they find a lead guitarist? I would suggest that these reborn hippies look up one of the great semi-retired lead guitarists of the heyday of the music they seek to recreate. Maybe give Larry "Rhino" Rheinhardt or Harvey Mandel a call and I would make this group a regular listen.
| | | This album is excelent! One of the most powerful bands of this decade, Wolfmother is a suprise for who listen to their music! Their style is a condensed sound of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and The Beatles!!! One of my favorite bands, one of my favorite album!
| | Is Wolfmother The Answer or Heep or who know, who cares | |
| | I enjoyed this album for a few reasons. Looking at some influences I feel they had, Heep have had recovered (redone) every album every time a new vocalist has come on board. But here we have an example of how simple it is to just go back..."76 Heeps Very Eavy Very Umble type album (note the keyboards very Heep, so do I hear Ozzy ( I also hear a similar tone in Mastodon as well), yes and Black Sabbath as well the real dark typical old rock, and then, of course so is Zep in there...but more disctictley the White Stripes come to mind.
I just cannot understand why they and some bands have to use the distortion to make it sound old...but anyway the effect does contribute to golden days...but for us who came up the scratchy LP and hissy cassette and got the CD or as Geddy Lee of Rush says those little round thingies it does annoy us a little as you wonder if your stereo is packing up and are tempted to clean the stylus and put the Dolby button on...
The album good non the less, good to have "new" rock coming to the fore...so why the Answer well what was the question? ...Oh yes The Answer also have come unannounced with good old solid rock...please follow my link to other comments
If you like this album then you will like the Answer and I recommend Tinyfish as well...enjoy he hatch...Cosmic Egg...boy I can't wait for mine its the deluxe version
Byt the way if you enjoy Zeppelin please listen to Rushes first album simply called Rush, it was there debute...Why?
Look what they became 32 years later!!! What an answer to Wolfmother Questions and Heeps of answers on Sabbath days just leaves no Stripes!!
