    Wolfmother's ultraconfident tracks could unclog rock radio's weakened arteries. [28 Apr 2006, p.136]

    Deliciously downright dirty.

    It's not that Wolfmother are all that bad. It's just that everything there is to say about them is best said by immediate reference to another band and Wolfmother always come up short in the comparison.

    I may have rated this as high as I have because this is exactly the type of music that I have been craving for quite some time. With the radio waves dominated by whiney post-punk, derivitive idol singers, hip-hop, and slow'n'soulful indie pop...this album sounds unbelievably fresh. Although Wolfmother's originality and longevity are questionable, it's a fun listen and the perfect accompaniment for summer-time patio outings and road trips. For the most part, hard rock fans have been offered very little variety as of late. Other than the moronic blathering of blowhards such as Creed and Nickelback, or the yelling-centric stylings of Danko Jones, radio playlists have played very little to whet the appetites of those of us who, while not metalheads, do enjoy their rock served on the heavy side from time to time. Anyways, I don't want to ramble on so...check out Wolfmother. You may bore of it eventually but, in the meantime, enjoy their fun and enigmatic sound and reminisce of the days when Zepellin was the king of the airwaves.… Expand

    Big fat meh. If you're going to pay homage to the likes of Led Zep and Black Sabbath, you better be sure your band can actually BRING IT. Mediocre at best.… Expand
