Single two from the new disc heads to radio the week of August 9 Billboard shows.
Back Round was too much like the earlier stuff to set itself apart. I have not heard New Moon Rising, but if they want to avoid being remembered as a one note band this better stand out.
EDIT : MODIFIED SONG TITLE

Hmm. I thought "Back Around" would of had a pretty good chance to perform well. They may well go back to that later anyway. I hope this is in a similiar vein to their previous singles.

I'm pretty sure the first single is called "Back Round", since that's what it says on all the advertisements. You know, cause you sure wouldn't want to get a title wrong, would you? |

That may have been the title. I don't have any chart data to show it. And if that is, I will correct it.
There's a big difference between adjusting it and leaving it wrong.

Then it looks like you have some work to do in your (I'm assuming) still incorrect song titles and bands.

Wolfmother.com shows the title of the first single as Back Round. Fixed. Now only one of us stands wrong.

Sarcasm aside, at least it's right. Ron57, that link did not work, but I think I had it right above you.
Sirius said "we have the new Wolfmother coming up," but they played Back Round instead of this. Still waiting!

Still seems too early. They must not have expected much from the lead track.

I don't even think "Back Round" went for adds on alternative.

I don't think "Back Round" was ever intended as a lead commercial release, but rather a promo single at most or a simple preview track at least.
"New Moon Rising" appears to be the true lead single.

I can't help but feel like this is just a sad attempt to cash in on the new Twilight movie.

For the life of me I can't get into these guys at all. I've listened to pretty much every song I could because people kept saying they liked them. Then I realized they were all dope smokers.....(*just kidding). This one so far, is the one I've liked the most, but that's not saying much. It's still rates about C for me.

Wolfmother appeals to a certain crowd. I mean, they're called stoner rock for a reason.

Wolfmother appeals to a certain crowd. I mean, they're called stoner rock for a reason. They're a throwback style band essentially, much like Jet is, who appeal to those who miss the more guitar-centered, epic-feeling sound of classic rock on modern radio...............which may explain why the latter had a successful debut album but a failing sophomore era in that it sounded fresh the first go-round but had that "It's been done!" feel the second time around.

Well I think on their second album they sounded a lot more like Oasis.

I can't help but feel like this is just a sad attempt to cash in on the new Twilight movie. I was actually curious as to whether it was related to the soundtrack in any way, but I doubt it at this point. The movie doesn't come out until the late fall anyway. |

I am in the club that find Oasis the most unoriginal group on radio. And then Jet comes along and takes the cake. Wolfmother at least has a backbone in my opinion.

you can pretty much take any sound by now and find an "originator". Oasis is way better and easier to listen to than this. Honestly, and this will be the first time I say this, but Wolfmother for the most part, sounds like "just noise" to me. If originality means suck than they win the originality award.

Nobody I know would ever call Wolfmother original, that's for sure. Classic Sabbath / Zeppelin sound is where they stand out.

To me this is the band you BOOOOOO off the stage BECAUSE they are opening for Sabbath or Zeppelin. I know people like them, I'm just not not one of them so I'll stop bashing them now.

They don't open for Sabbath or Zeppelin though. They're stoner rock. They'd probably fit more with QOTSA or Clutch.
