Wolfmother album review
!@(uploads/2006/04/wolfmother.jpg:L popimg: “Wolfmother”)Rock music has been on the downslide the last couple years with a couple bright spots such as The White Stripes, but Wolfmother is about to change that with their U.S. self titled debut this May. Bone crushing cords, thundering drums, and some psychedelic lyrics make for some great songs for a debut. The album starts with the powercord anthem Colossal, which only sets the tone for the rest of the album. Joker and the Thief just take you back to turning on your black light and smoking out and putting your headphones on to Zepplin and Black Sabbath. Later tracks become more dynamic in their delievery like Tales From The Forest Of Gnomes, which starts out as a slow paced dreamland then breaks into an upbeat anthem with some great guitar work. I also have to mention Dimension, which has an AWESOME power riff and the lyric, Purple haze is in the sky. Anything that has purple haze in a song is cool with me. This is the perfect album to pickup for the summer months ahead, and for those who need to fill that rock void.
[rating:4.5]
