rock|hard rock]] musician [[Andrew W.K.]], released on [[Wikipedia:Island Records|Island Records]] on September 9, 2003. ==History== In contrast to W.K.'s party-oriented debut, ''The Wolf'' was a more elaborate and ornate effort, with insightful lyrics and a more melodic sound. This did not stop it from being successful. The album also found W.K. playing all of the instruments on the album, whereas on ''[[I Get Wet]]'' he split the chore with studio musicians. ''The Wolf'' spawned the singles "Never Let Down" and "Tear It Up". This album was originally titled ''Blow Your Bone'', but the title was deemed "too offensive" by [[Wikipedia:Island Records|Island Records]], so Andrew W.K. opted to use the name ''The Wolf''. Cover art was even made with the original title, but it differed from the cover art of ''The Wolf''. It is not known whether the album had different material on it, as the only actual thing referencing the title was an ad made just before the album's release. The release date on the ad for ''Blow Your Bone'' did not change from the date that ''The Wolf'' was actually released. The Japan release of ''The Wolf'' came with a bonus DVD, with behind the scenes footage (mainly shot in Japan) that cannot be found on any other release. === DualDisc version === This album was included among a group of 15 [[Wikipedia:DualDisc|DualDisc]] releases that were test marketed in two cities: Boston and Seattle. The [[Wikipedia:DualDisc|DualDisc]] has the standard album on one side, and bonus material on the second side. ==Track listing== # "Victory Strikes Again" β 2:09 # "Long Live the Party" β 4:00 # "Tear It Up" β 3:55 # "Free Jumps" β 3:33 # "Never Let Down" β 3:58 # "Your Rules" β 2:27 # "The Song" β 4:17 # "Make Sex" β 0:44 # "Totally Stupid" β 4:30 # "Really in Love" β 4:42 # "The End of Our Lives" β 4:49 # "I Love Music" β 4:19 '''Japanese bonus tracks''' <ol start=13> <li>"[[Party Hard]]" (live) <li>"[[She Is Beautiful]]" (live) </ol> ==Personnel== *[[Andrew W.K.]] β [[Wikipedia:vocals|vocals]], [[Wikipedia:guitar|guitar]], [[Wikipedia:bass guitar|bass]], [[Wikipedia:drum kit|drums]], [[Wikipedia:piano|piano]], [[Wikipedia:keyboard instrument|synthesizer]] *Ken Andrews β guitar (bonus tracks) *Jimmy Coup β guitar (bonus tracks) *Erik Payne β guitar (bonus tracks) *Frank Werner β guitar (bonus tracks) *Gregg Roberts β bass (bonus tracks) *[[Wikipedia:Donald Tardy|Donald Tardy]] β drums (bonus tracks) * Billy Trudel β backing vocals (tracks 1, 5, 10, 11) * Roger Lian β editing * Ryan Boesch β engineering, recording * Howie Weinberg β mastering * Dave Way β mixing * Lior Goldenberg β addition mixing and recording ==Charts== {| class="wikitable sortable plainrowheaders" style="text-align:center" |- ! scope="col"| Chart (2003) ! scope="col"| Peak<br />position |- !scope="row"| Japan ([[Wikipedia:Oricon Albums Chart|Oricon]])<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.oricon.co.jp/prof/artist/292413/products/release/ |title=γ’γ³γγͺγ₯γΌW.K. |publisher=[[Wikipedia:Oricon|Oricon]] |accessdate=July 9, 2015 |language=Japanese |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121023185758/http://www.oricon.co.jp/prof/artist/292413/products/release/ |archivedate=October 23, 2012}}</ref> |align="center"| 14 |- !scope="row"| UK Albums ([[Wikipedia:Official Charts Company|OCC]])<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.zobbel.de/cluk/CLUK_A.HTM |title=Chart Log UK: A β Azzido Da Bass |publisher=Zobbel.de |accessdate=July 9, 2015 |last=Zywietz |first=Tobias}}</ref> |align="center"| 152 |- {{album chart|Billboard200|61|artist=Andrew W.K.|accessdate=July 9, 2015|rowheader=true}} |- |} ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== * {{metacritic album|the-wolf/andrew-wk|The Wolf}} {{Andrew W.K.}} {{Authority control}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Wolf, The}} [[Category:Andrew W.K. albums]]
