In 1984, it was ranked #30 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 greatest albums of the 1980s. In 2003, the album was ranked number 455[1] on the magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. BackgroundIn 1983, the band released an extended play entitled ...And a Time to Dance, which was well received by critics but only sold about 50,000 copies.[2] However, the sales of the EP earned the group enough money to purchase a Dodge van, enabling the band to tour throughout the United States for the first time.[2] The group began composing How Will the Wolf Survive? at the home of Pérez's brother-in-law, a time in which several songs, including "A Matter of Time", were written. Pérez explained, "We'd sit down with a guitar, a tape recorder and a jar of Taster's Choice, and we were coffee achievers all afternoon."[2] The album's title and the title song were inspired by a National Geographic article entitled "Where Can the Wolf Survive", which the band members related to their own struggle to gain success in the United States while maintaining their Mexican roots.[2] Drummer Louie Pérez recalled, "It was like our group, our story: What is this beast, this animal that the record companies can't figure out? Will we be given the opportunity to make it or not?"[2] MusicOn How Will the Wolf Survive?, the band experimented with various genres, including styles reflective of the group's traditional Mexican roots.[3] "I Got Loaded" features influences of R&B, while "A Matter of Time" blends country and blues sensibilities.[3] Both "A Matter of Time" and "Will the Wolf Survive?" discuss the lives of immigrants in the United States.[3] "A Matter of Time" is about a Mexican crossing the border in search of a better life.[2] Reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|4.5|5}}[4] | rev2 = Encyclopedia of Popular Music | rev2score = {{rating|4|5}}[5] | rev3 = Rolling Stone | rev3Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[6] | rev4 = The Rolling Stone Album Guide | rev4Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[7] | rev5 = Spin Alternative Record Guide | rev5score = 9/10[8] | rev6 = The Village Voice | rev6Score = A[9] }} Critical reaction to the album was favorable. Mark Deming's retrospective review gushed, "While rarely flashy, even a casual listen offers all the proof you might need that Los Lobos were a band of world-class musicians, with David Hidalgo's guitar work especially impressive throughout."[4] Robert Christgau praised the group's originality: "Their debut LP makes it sound as if they invented the style. Who did the original of that one, you wonder, only to discover that you're listening to the original."[9] Track listing
