    There isn't a boring moment

  2. 7.0 |   PopMatters

    Cosmic Egg stands outside of times and cultures and societies, a fortress in the clouds at the wispy fringes of credulity

  3. 7.0 |   Clash

    Reads like a who’s who of hard rock, with nods to Guns N’ Roses, Soundgarden and Hendrix.

  4. 7.0 |   Click Music

    The riffs are recycled at times however and it lacks the vital urgency of their debut, but for all the hard rockers out there, Cosmic Egg is an enjoyable way to see out the end of the year

  5. 6.0 |   Mojo

    Print edition only

  6. 6.0 |   Q

    Print edition only

  7. 6.0 |   The Fly

    ...whilst Andrew Stockdale is the only original member left, something like ‘10,000 Feet’ is such a splendid Zep derivative it hardly matters who’s hammering the strings

  8. 6.0 |   The Times

    You’d hardly expect an Aussie stoner-rock band to give a XXXX about innovation and, sure enough, Wolfmother still wanna party like it’s 1972

  9. 5.0 |   musicOMH

    So there are no surprises here really, but then you wouldn't really expect anything else from Wolfmother. Cosmic Egg is the kind of album you'd quite happily pop on for the first part of a road trip while you're full of enthusiasm, but it'd quickly get changed at the first toilet stop

  10. 5.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Could be just another competent but anonymous stoner rock record. Disappointing

  11. 4.0 |   The Guardian

    There's no shame in harking back in rock time, but if you're going to plunder the land of hot licks, best follow the lead of the White Stripes than, say, Jet.

  12. 2.0 |   Sydney Morning Herald

    This is the sound of a horse being flogged beyond even an Australian jockey's limits. Dumb? Oh yeah, dumb as. In the dullest way

  13. 1.0 |   NME

    You could argue Wolfmother’s ballsy and carefree hi-octane music is all just innocent fun, ideally washed down with a six pack of tinnies. Yet it’s utterly devoid of soul and intelligence.
