Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
There are few signs of maturity on The Wolf, Andrew WK's second album--the tempo is a little slower, the production bigger--although after coming up with three songs with the word "Party" in the title last time around he does narrow it down here to just the one, "Long Live the Party". Like everything else on The Wolf, it is completely out of control, piled high with fire-breathing riffs, demonic choruses and the kind of message even toddlers can grasp: "I want to have a party / You cannot kill the party." Playing with former members of Florida speed-metal bands, the white-denim clad rocker delivers a set that is as brutal as it is brutally funny. Oprah has nothing on the sage advice delivered in power ballad "Never Let Down" ("You're doing OK / Just follow your heart"), while lingering Loverboy and Night Ranger fans will welcome the melodic collision of pianos and screaming guitars on tracks such as "The Song" and "Totally Stupid". There aren't too many records like this, and that's probably a good thing. --Aidin Vaziri

If Andrew WKs discography could be mapped into 24 hours, 'I Get Wet' would 7pm-9pm, the start of a fun party when everyones starting to get drunk. On the other hand 'The Wolf' is the period late into the night, were all drunk, sat on the floor, talking rubbish, getting emotional. This is why its such a great album, for me it creates the feeling of a night out with your mates especially the last 4 tracks. The feeling he generates is unbelievable, making you feel so happy and positive and also realise what life is all about. Well thats how a person who is drunk at 2am would say - and its true. You dont need a thesaurus to say how u feel, just say it. And thats what he does, its a fine line between genius and stupid but he lands in the genius zone.

Absolutely superb. Before I'd heard this album I was an Andrew W.K. sceptic...but now, what can I say?! Imagine a cross between Bruce Springsteen, Meatloaf, Devin Townsend and Bill & Ted's Wyld Stallions....this album is all that and a lot more. I haven't ENJOYED an album this much in a long while. Every time I spin this album it puts a smile on my face - and not an 'ironic' smile either - this is the real deal. All hail Andrew W.K.!

After the fantastic "I Get Wet", you wonder whether Andrew could live up to all the expectations heaped on his second full-length album. The good news is that he has carried on from where "I Get Wet" left off - party rock that brings a smile to your face.
He has re-worked a couple of songs from the "girl's own juice" ep, which immediately gives him a strong foundation for the album. It rocks along in typical AWK fashion, all raucous shouting, tinny piano and high speed rhythms. In a break from the norm, he even manages to slot in a Bon Jovi-esque love ballad, which works well, and reveals his sensitive side.
Its a refreshing change from a lot of the angst that litters the charts, and the message is loud and clear - having fun with music is not a crime!!!
Between AWK and The Darkness, the future of stadium rock looks to be in safe hands!
