General Interest Cosmic Egg Cosmic Egg is the follow up to Wolfmother's self-titled woldwide smash of a debut album and was recorded over a 2-month period in Los Angeles with heralded UK producer Alan Moulder. The now 4 piece, famed for impressive live performances. showcase a similarly expansive set of Led Zeppelin-influenced rock songs on Cosmic Egg. Review Given that theyve lost two-thirds of the original line-up since their surprise hit debut album of 2005, Wolfmother seem remarkably undeterred and unchanged on their second. Singer and guitarist Andrew Stockdale still sounds like hes trapped forever in 1972, his only hope of escape to rawk his way out, appropriating as many Led Zeppelin riffs as he can to do so. Hes described the making of Cosmic Egg as an endurance test: unfortunately, the same could often be said of listening to it. Of course, criticising Wolfmother for being retro is a little like criticising a shark for having teeth: what did you expect And at first the records more-is-more pile-up of slamming guitars and histrionic vocals is indeed meaty, helped by Stockdales exuberant talent as a guitarist. But by the end of the twelfth and final track (more if youre a vinyl fan and/or masochist) you've been served the same dish so many times its like eating Christmas leftoversin January:familiar, stale and slightly depressing. Stockdales passion for the seventies proto-metal he plunders is undeniable, and even contagious at first. California Queen is a savage, pummelling opener which achieves the desired effect of making you feel like youre speeding through Big Suron a Harley, while the Free-stealing White Feather is crammed with brilliantly crunchy riffs. By Sundial, however, the ceaseless blustering has become more wearing than endearing, a process culminating in the over-baked In the Castle,an apparentattempt to squeeze all of the most dunderheaded moments of Black Sabbath and Zeppelin into one clich-strewn song. There are tantalising moments where Wolfmother try something different. In the Morning begins as a dreamy, Beatles-y reverie, while Far Away announces itself with sweetly chiming guitar, but both soon lose their way in a blizzard of fiddly excess, as though auditioning for a lucrative spot on Guitar Hero 36. Did you improve on the design Did you do something new Lupe Fiasco asked on2007s scathing Superstar, a question every musician should constantly ask themselves. As for all of Stockdales conviction and ability, Cosmic Egg does neither. --Jaime Gill This link will take you offin a new window Shipping Shipping is free for all customers in Australia.
