Wig Wam – Wig Wamania

91 %
Released TODAY! Got in my hand only 2 hours ago. Have been listening to it ever since. It is the 2nd album from Norway's coolest and most rockin' band. I love these guys and they deserve all good things in life. This album is really fantastic!! Their previous album Hard to be a rock'n roller  was a great hard rock album, but it can't compare with this one!

Wig Wamania is a more diverse and unpredictable album! They stay true to their roots, but also innovate and experiment with new sounds and grooves. The newest single "Gonna get you someday" is a very catchy and danceable rock song in a very Bon Jovi-esque way. The "ballad" "at the end of the day" is a sensitive and passionate song with a great melody. And another ballad called "Bygone Zone" is a typical powerballad that anyone will enjoy a slow dance to. "Daredevil heat" and "Rock n' Roll girl like you" are catchy melodic rock songs in the Hardline or Def Leppard style.This album is more complete than their previous work, and hopefully this is the album that launches their career also outside Europe. The album is a great combination of Hard Rocking tunes and slow ballads. One of the best Hard Rock albums that will be out in 2006.

If you don't have this album, then your CD collection has a big hole. Fill that hole!! Maybe when this album is released in japan, we will get a chance to see the music video for the single "gonna get you someday". Norwegian TV stations refuse to show it for unknown reasons. Hopefully they will include the video in mpeg format on a future single release or the Japanese edition of Wig Wamania.
