Rising from the ashes of bands like Blue Cheer, Led Zeppelin, Moxy and Motorhead you get the groovy grind of Mothership. The band is full of powerful fuzz tone distortion and bombastic energy. The boogie of "City Nights" is a good example of them finding their groove. I find myself reminded a lot of Canadian band SFH after hearing Mothership. I was a big fan of SFH and their album One Of Those Days from 1992.Mothership have got the entire thing put together on their self-titled album with heavy rockers like "Angel Of Death" that you can't help but want to test the upper limits of your speakers with as they explode from your stereo. The very Sabbath sounding "Win Or Lose" isn't one of the songs you will constantly crave but the last minute thirty is probably better than anything you'll get from the yet to be released Black Sabbath album I'm sure.
If you are a fan of the incredible band Trouble this album is right in your wheelhouse. The vocalist isn't as good in my opinion but the music is up there for sure. Now I want to hear a new Wolfmother album damn it! So Mothership gets a ton of comparissons here and sometimes that's unfair but not this time I think they are showing some of those bands where they need to be by setting the bar high in this psychedelic sludge stone rock of 2013.
