"The Wolf" is the second major-label album by hard rock solo artist Andrew W.K., released on Island Records.

History

In spite of Andrew'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 Andrew 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 Island Records, so Andrew 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 this album came with a bonus DVD, with behind the scenes footage (mainly shot in Japan) that cannot be found anywhere else.
