The album is produced solely by Tyler, The Creator, except for the final track "Lone". The album was supported by a sole single "Domo23" along with additional music videos for "Bimmer", "IFHY", "Jamba", "Tamale" and "Answer". Upon its release, ''Wolf'' received generally positive reviews from music critics. The album debuted at number 3 on the US ''Billboard'' 200, selling 89,000 copies in its first week. == Background == In November 2011, in an interview with ''Spin'' magazine, Tyler expressed wanting to shift away from the themes of his previous albums stating, "Talking about rape and cutting bodies up, it just doesn't interest me anymore... What interests me is making weird hippie music for people to get high to. With Wolf, I'll brag a little more, talk about money and buying shit. But not like any other rapper, I'll be a smart-ass about it. People who wanted the first album again, I can't do that. I was 18, broke as fuck. On my third album, I have money and I'm hanging out with my idols. I can't rap about the same shit." The themes of ''Wolf'' range from "struggles with women, not handling the absence of his father to misunderstandings about his grandmother's death, and the beautiful nightmare known as fame." "It is incredibly dark as with his previous albums though, Tyler weaves this intense imagery into an upbeat sound." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wolf (Tyler, The Creator album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
