Product description
Wolfmother - Wolfmother - CD
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

It is 2LP's, two vinyl records, Side 4 is four "Bonus B-Sides"
Great pressing on black vinyl, sounds so good, I mean, it's Wolfmother on vinyl, so crank it!
The "cover art" does not have that weird gold border around the edge like in the picture advertised above, I was happy it did not have that. If you order it, I believe you'll be happy, and I hope you have a similar experience.
After I played this CD about 200 times and overcame my shock that there is some new music this amazing from the current generation's musicians, I went to Amazon to see what other CD's you guys have made. To my dismay, there's nothing but singles and EP's. Bummer. Tragic. First the world economy collapses, and now no new Wolfmother! (I see a connection.)
Then I went to Wikipedia to see what was going on with you. Shock and grief. You losers have already broken up? You tease us with one superlative album which puts almost everything out there from over the last 20 years to shame? You were apparently offended and defensive that critics were calling you "derivative"?? Did you note that they are calling you "derivative" of about 25 different bands, all of which are the BEST in the history of rock music? And did it occur to you that the occasional scurrilous reviews are from boneheads who are overwhelmingly conspicuous in their jealousy of your talent and what you accomplished in your first album?? C'mon!! You allowed those little stressors to fracture the great talent you guys collectively harness?
I think you guys are really blowing it. Not since the Beatles allowed Yoko to funk up their legacy has there been such a major forfeiture of musical potential. Snap out of it!! You owe it to the world to do five to ten more albums!! Your sound is impeccable, absolutely the best out there!! I see you as the potential Tenth Pillar of Rock!!--just as prophesized in the Scriptures!! (Beatles, Stones, Led Zep, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Doors, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Metallica being the first nine. Obviously.) Don't mess with the Scriptures, guys!! Comport yourselves with destiny! The stone tablets demand some more albums! Stop feeling sorry for yourselves, kiss and make up, and get your Down-Under arses back into the studio! Now!!
Happy Holidays,

Wolfmother, the band of all bands, like Zeppelin, and Sabbath...
Sadly, this isn't really the truth. Sure, these fellows sound pretty good. Next to the "emo" and pop-punk that controls popular music today, these guys are freakin' gods!
Wolfmother rocks, no question about that. Here's the thing. These guys are no Zeppelin. All the comparisons to the hard rock of the early 70s are very over-exaggerated. They cook hard and belt out their lyrics forcefully, but to say the guitar work is comparable to that of Jimmy Page? To think that the front-man delievers the lyrics like Plant? Not even close.
Now lets try to escape for a bit all the wild comparisons, and lets just look at Wolfmother for their music. The first song, "Dimension" is a driving track that certainly rocks. Same with "Colossal." But these songs, and others on the album, are haunted by notably simplistic lyrics. "Where Eagles Have Been," easily the most poetic song on the ablum (it at least has a metaphor that drives the lyrics) also suffers from simple song writing.
But obviously this album's appeal lies in the heavy guitar work. The hard-rocking music over shadows the almost lame lyrics to create an ablum that hits the soul hard, almost in the way that those geniuses of long ago did. Songs like "Mind's Eye" and "Witchcraft" are very impresive, and do bring back memories of the golden time in hard rock. The flute solo on "Witchcraft" will definitly remind anyone of Jethro Tull.
This album is so different from everything else today, and it really is a breath of fresh air. It's hard to take the comparisons to Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath to heart, and they really are over simplified comparisons. Wolfmother's debut is really a solid record, and I'm excited to see what comes next from these guys.
I think this could be the greatest band of the last 20 years, but with the state that popular music is in today, it will be interesting to see how the public takes these guys.
