1975 studio album by Steppenwolf

| AllMusic | [1] |
AllMusic gave the album a negative retrospective review, saying the songs are all competent but adhere too closely to Steppenwolf formulas that had already been played out.[1]
Hour Of The Wolf, was a good album but it didn`t have that signature hit single their previous albums had. "Caroline..," a Mars Bonfire penned song was released as a single but failed to chart. Another Mars Bonfire song that was an outtake, "Killer Riff," was said to have been a better choice for a single. But it didn`t make it onto the album.
