Way to rant on a two-year old review, big guy.

The real travesty in the modern rock world is that nerds who have never picked up an instrument or listened to an album FOR FUN, at a party or with some friends are now writing music blogs. Even sadder, people will actually listen to a snotslinging blogger who goes by the name of “SKWERL” and uses “Shit” in the title of his articles. Graduate from Berklee or Julliard and then you can write a reputable review.

haha Zeppelin and Sabbath were not 60s power trios, both their debuts came out in ‘69 and they both had 4 members and I never thought Blue Cheer sounded much like Wolfmother, they have a much different sound, allot of dischordent notes (you could tie them to Hendrix there) and slide guitar (you could tie them to Southern Rock there)… I can’t think of any band that sounds like Blue Cheer.

He has a good point, reviews like this are killing rock music…

If Wolfmother wrote an album that sounds like a mix of Sabbath, Zeppelin and the Beatles… what is wrong with that? It wasnt to the point that it infringed on copyrights… I think if they managed to remind you of some of the best bands in history they are doing a good job. the 70s was the best era in music, thank god they aren’t reminisent of the 2000s (modern music is much worse)… I don’t want to rant too long, but they are one of the best rock bands to come out in the past decade. Best Rock Bands of the 2000s: The White Stripes, Queens of the Stoneage, The Sword, The Libertines, Mastodon, Muse, The Hives, Jet, Jack Johnson, Mars Volta, The Killers, The Strokes, John Mayer,… I’d put wolfmother towards the top.

Great review. I found it to be totally accurate. Chris and Myles are much better off with Kid Koala/Dynomite D and “The Slew”

Love this band. Saw them live with the Killers in Toronto. Turned my girlfriend into a fan after that. Considering they were given a quarter of the stage with a black sheet behind them, they really warmed it up.

P.S…Good job Aleksis, but Nickelcrap is Canadian. As much bad music comes out of the States, as a Canadian, we HAVE to take credit for this one. Why does the rest of the world know about them and not The Tragically Hip?

[...] frontman Andrew Stockdale on vocals, doing his usual Robert Plant/Ozzy imitation. Much like in Wolfmother songs, the guitars remind you a bit too much of rock anthems from the 70’s. However, probably [...]

This album rocks hard… that’s the point of it and it sounds good. Seems like as soon as somebody who is respected (rightfully or otherwise) in the world of music reviewers is having a bad day and decides to slate an album, all the little wannabe sheep reviewers immediately agree? I listen to different music depending on my mood, as I’m sure you all do and this suits my ‘rocking out in the car on the way to fucking work’ moods perfectly, as did their previous album.

Hey there,

I don’t think White Feather is a rip off from Led Zepplin at all. However that riff at the beginning was bugging me from the first time i heard and today i realize where I have heard it before. Start me Up by the Rolling Stones.
I like this album and I bought it cause these days pretty much every band I hear sounds like a band from the 70’s and 80’s even Muse who remind me of Queen.

Cheers.
