For me, they remind me of Rush even though having a different sound of course.  I'm a big Rush fan.  If anyone has seen Rush live they sound very close to their albums.  Precise and intense. Same goes for TJF but even better live as you said.

Wolf's Law is a good album.  I give it a B+.  Is it as good or better than The Big Roar, I don't think it is.  It's not far from it though.  To say only 2 songs are good is a joke.  I think all the songs are good. If you like their sound and intensity you should like this album.  It still has that uplifting attitude…
