Any one else dig Wolfmother?

A buddy of mine burned me a copy... more in a 70's hard rock vein than metal.. but it rocks... anyone else???

frankly it sounds like it was made in the 70's.... not knock against them... much rawer....

I think Wolfmother would be better without the whiny vocalist. I think I could dig them, though, given a chance. But I am weary, so I own nothing by them.

The best neo-retro (is that possible?) band I've heard is Priestess. Have you heard them? They're awesome! Check them out:

PRIESTESS - I AM THE NIGHT, COLOUR ME BLACK
PRIESTESS - LAY DOWN
PRIESTESS - RUN HOME
PRIESTESS - TALK TO HER
PRIESTESS - BLOOD (stupid fan-made Warcraft video)

I like Wolfmother. Have you heard The Sword yet, there pretty Sabbath-ish and sweet.

i don't care for the vocals at all. that makes or breaks bands with me.

I think Wolfmother are great. I don't mind the vocals at all, I think they work well with the music.

The Sword are very, very good, too.

I like Wolfmother....like Sabbath meets The Stooges...

That's what I thought when I heard them. Nothing spectacular.

I bought the cd but gave it away to my girlfriend.
I love 70s hard rock but i prefere the classics. With 80s metal its different because i love bands of today playing 80s heavy metal, but 70s hard rock played by new bands is not my thing. Strange but true.

I like The Sword and someone in work told me that I'd probably like Wolfmother as well, but as of yet, I haven't really had the chance to hear them aside from the one single I heard, Woman. I kinda dig it.

Friend of mine played one song & I did like.
My friend likes Wolfmother alot, but he did not like The Sword, which suprised me. I have The Sword cd & it is good. Another good doom band is Las Cruces. Give them a try when you get a chance.

Las Cruces are amazing! Too bad their albums are virtually impossible to find these days. Members have formed Blood Of The Sun, though, and they're a killer stoner-like band. Also, Las Cruces are working on a new album, to my knowledge.

the vocals didn't bother me. I'm just hoping we'll continue to get more mainstream releases like this. I mean which would I rather have .... Wolfmother and Jet or Blink 182, 50 cent and Snoop dog.

Good mainstream rock on radio would be a better choice than some of the dirge that is currently played.

Purchased the CD when she came out and didn't really find anything to mesh myself in...nothing really clicked with me and the tunes...

Couple months pass and I move my ass into rez and a roomie of mine were all over them...played the album like it was his job...and I gotta admit, the riffs and darn right decent with solid production to fit the atmosphere of the album, and I do dig the vocals, though I can see their next album being kinda bland for some reason or another...

C'mon ppl, whoever has the balls to name 'White Unicorn' as a title track should at least be given the benefit of the doubt

I suppose what I heard ain't too bad. Hey Tight'N'Steel, love the avatar !

I hate them my friend never stops listening to em....F*** THEM

Make love, not war.

ahah preciate the props 007, Beaker is a beauty...

I'm a DJ for a couple more days till I'm off for the northern Ontario scene, but anyways I played White Unicorn, Woman, Dimension and Joker & The Thief at the place I was doin' over the corse of the 10 hr shift and I got a few lads and lassies coming up to me at random times and asked me who did that last song etc...so, definetly Wolfmother has a the catchy licks and fanfare for the common man to carry on.

I like Wolfmother pretty well. My 13 year old son loves them. I also recently got The Sword's CD, and it rocks!

ack

Picked up Wolfmother Saturday for cheap in a used shop. I'm liking it. Has a nice retro feel. The singer is reminecent of a young Robert Plant.

They might not be breaking any new ground, but it's nice to see a young band making new music with a nod to the old-school. However I do fear that in another 10 years, we'll hear bands saying "Yea, I grew up listening to Korn and Limp Bizcut and they really had a big influence on our sound"

Never heard the Sword.... sound like???

I agree with you Scott.

They've got that Sabbath sound with a little doom, but they've got some serious uptempo metal jams. They're young, so the elitists talk trash about them a lot. They're awesome, though. Check these out:

IRON SWAN (Demo)
FREYA
THE SWORD - EBETHRON
THE SWORD - BARAEL'S BLADE
WINTER WOLVES (Video)

The imo is ok, few catchy tunes and a few not. This thread is heading for the genre of Stoner Rock haha, btw that is the worst title for this type of music haha. I like whoever posted Retro Rock much better-TJ
