Weekly Album #1: Wolfmother’s Wolfmother

wolfmother.jpg [1] Wolfmother is an Australian hard-rock band that became popular outside Australia in 2006 because of this album. The band makes a sort of psychedelic rock (metal) music, with a positive sound to it, probably influenced by bands like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and maybe even Pink Floyd. But I myself think it is best described as the modern 70’s metal, but just a little bit "louder" than it was in the 70’s (for what I have heard about it). Most of the tracks on this album are uptempo songs with a heavy metal sound in it. The combination of great metal melodies and a positive hippie sound, the music contains a power that makes you wonder how three people can produce such a sound. Next to this, the songs on the album are all quite different, you never get the idea: "woha, did the cd start all over again?" which I have when I’m listening to bands like Metallica. Since the music says more than I can tell you, you should hear a few of the songs below. I’ve marked my favorites with an "*". Tracks on the UK edition: 1. Dimension * Listen [2] | Lyrics [3]2.
