“Wolfsbane were originally founded on the notion that kick-ass music and good drunken times are our best defence against life’s shittiness and, 17 years after their split, the band’s credo has not altered one jot. In fact, ‘Wolfsbane Save The World’ may be their finest album to date. Blistering performances from all concerned, and a revitalised Blaze Bayley in particular, ensure that this is a thrilling ride from start to finish. But it’s the sheer, life affirming quality of these songs that seals the deal: from the serotonin of the opening ‘Blue Sky’, the priapic pummel of ‘Teacher’ and ‘Starlight’’s sublime muscular balladry through to the scything hooks and rambunctious spirit of ‘Live Before I Die’, the mad-eyed Meatloaf-punk of ‘Illusion Of Love’ and the sardonic grind’n’swagger of ‘Did It For The Money’, this is both exactly what the metal doctor ordered for these grey days and one of the finest and most joyous British rock albums in recent memory. Holy Shitting Christ, how we’ve missed them! 9/10…” (Dom Lawson, Metal Hammer, February 2012).
