    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.

    Absolutely wonderful as pure entertainment, so I can't in all good conscience give this a bad score, nevertheless, it's completely devoid even of pretensions to artistic progressivism. Sure to thrill the closeminded refusing to acknowledge anything past 1980 that didn't possess guitars, a drum kit and pentatonic scales as music.

    Just a uncomplicated rock-record. Nothing wrong with it, but not a "most-have".

    This is alright, but The Sword do this sort of music a HELL of a lot better. Check out their album "Age Of Winters" for a better example (I don't think it's on metacritic though). It's got the same Zeppelin/Sabbath-esque sound as this, only with much better songwriting. Not to say Wolfmother isn't pretty good though - I enjoyed this album, derivative as it may be.

    Deliciously downright dirty.

    At times, Wolfmother's unintentionally bizarre amalgams are kind of delightful, and the group does have a basic, brutal sonic force that is pretty appealing, but even at their best, they never banish the specters of the bands that they desperately mimic.
