Twenty years after their debut reinvigorated the rock masses, Wolfmother continue to channel the best part of the past to push the future forward. “Their sound is a throwback to 1970s hard rock — miles of galloping riffs, noodling organ, and guitar fuzz,” Pitchfork wrote of their incendiary debut, adding that they “strike a balance between meaty vintage metal and crisp, stoner-rock melodies.”
The scorching, punishing “Woman” is as ass-shaking as it is assaultive, while “Colossal” channels Tony Iommi’s greatest riffs and Ozzy’s demonic howl and “White Unicorn” filter classic Led Zeppelin through a psychedelic bridge. Elsewhere, “Apple Tree” is the best song the White Stripes never wrote and tracks like “Mind’s Eye” highlight frontman Andrew Stockdale’s love of mystical lyricism and prog-metal’s more exploratory paths.
It all adds up to one of the best rock albums of the 2000s and it’s easy to see why Lars Ulrich said he listened to it "every day" when it came out.
