Overview Edit

Wolfmother is the debut studio album by Australian hard rock band Wolfmother, originally released on 31 October 2005 in Australia. The album was later released internationally at various dates in 2006, with the addition of "Love Train" and a rearranged track listing. Wolfmother peaked at number three on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart and was certified five times platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association. Six singles were released from Wolfmother's debut album: "Mind's Eye"/"Woman", "White Unicorn", "Dimension", "Woman", "Love Train" and "Joker & the Thief", the latter of which charted the highest at number eight on the ARIA Singles Chart. The album cover, which is taken from The Sea Witch by Frank Frazetta, shows a nymph standing against a blue/orange sky, on a rock, though because it displays nudity the album is sold in Wal-Mart stores with an alternate cover featuring simply the band's white logo against a black background. It is the only album to feature co-founding members Chris Ross and Myles Heskett, who left the band in August 2008.

4 stars Proof that they really do still make 'em like they used to
Have you been starving for some old-fashioned rock like the sort that hogged FM radio in the early to mid-seventies? Do your eyes brim with tears when you pull out a dusty plastic 12-inch black slab of "Machine Head" or "Demons and Wizards?" Do you still sit around and pine for a Black Sabbath reunion? Lo, my brethren. Salvation has arrived and they call themselves Wolfmother.

This debut CD sounds like it dropped from a time machine. "Wolfmother" is chock full of rocking seventies organ slammin…

3 stars Like classic rock?
Do you like classic rock but are sick to death of the same old songs played over and over on classic rock radio? If the answer is yes, then this record is for you. Wolfmother play straight up rock n' roll in the classic rock vein of Zeppelin and Sabbath, complete with cheesy Tolkian fantasy lyrics and a vocalist that sounds a bit like Rush's Geddy Lee. It's not really adventurous enough for my tastes, but it is very, very well done. This band is very good.
