Comments
The music in this Album had a good tendency to change. The overall genre was Rock, but as the Album progressed, the influence on the rock changed with it.
At first, it felt straight up rock and roll kind of feel. Through the Album, that changed into a Jazz influence, Swing influence, and ended with a heavy blues influence. It was a really cool technique that kept the music fluid and also added the variety that other Albums seemed to lack. I was always open-minded to see what 
song came next. 
The vocals were unique in the sense that they were not. Wolf's voice sounded young and new. There were no special falsetto type keys, or raspyness. It was normal, which is actually different for music. Most bands have some kind of new kick to the vocalist, but Wolf just sounded ordinary. It sounded like a man was singing to you, not some kind of God singing down to you.
It was touching.
