Cleverrrrr.<\/p>\n<p>When I first heard Wolfmother&#8217;s self-titled album I thought it was the rock and roll equivalent of macaroni and cheese. By that I mean at a glance it was cheesy and familiar, but damn tasty! And of course you just want more and more. Now that we&#8217;ve had the disc for a while I can say that it&#8217;s much more than that. In fact, it&#8217;s a well-rounded meal of music with everything from heavy Sabbathy riffs to pretty pop pieces. Despite some obvious old-school influences and sounds, overall it&#8217;s still very modern.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve seen a lot of stuff comparing them to the White Stripes, complaining about it even, but I think that is mostly because of singer Andrew Stockdale&#8217;s voice. That said, even my 10 year old son said  &#8220;this sounds like the White Stripes&#8221; on hearing the frantic song &#8220;Apple Tree.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is a great album that I think will appeal to a lot of folks, even those oblivious to the older influences. And that album cover art in pure genius, hilarious.
