[Anonymous]Apr 1, 2005Strong singer-songwriter effort that isn't afraid to rock out (Neil Young-style) every once in a while. Well-written and well-played... Props to these guys.

gelrodApr 5, 2005Oldham's voice is not and never will be the most polished which is the point. It suits the classic rock guitar driven Superwolf nearly as well as his old Palace recordings which really should be played on a scratchy old victrola.

R.C.MillerFeb 6, 2005one of the most introspective, honest, and frightening recordings I have ever heard. God, sharks, and donkey dicks; what more could one ask?

MattEFeb 10, 2005Will's haunting voice and lyrics are as captivating as ever. This coupled with the rolling, complex and fluid guitar work of Matt Sweeney has created an album that is pure, unadulterated brilliance. I'm naming it album of the year...and it's still only February!

petaripsicFeb 24, 2005C'mon Holllis H! Nothing here? You must be kidding. It is not quite like your favorite Micheal Bolton cd. Will is as captivating as ever and the guitar work is excellent; one of his best works. "My Home is the Sea" and "Blood Embrace" are still classics.

Superwolf contains some of [Oldham's] most startling work yet.
-
Soft and subtle, Superwolf is the kind of record that unwinds slowly, and is best enjoyed over multiple listens and, unsurprisingly, many glasses of wine.
-
With Sweeney on hand, Oldham has kept some of his less appealing musical eccentricities in check -- this is one of his strongest and best-focused works in years.
