Customer Reviews
What split?
You'd be forgiven for thinking Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple had formed into some 1970 revival super group to create Cosmic Egg. The first 4 tracks are almost a tour of 1970s heavy metal. From the Sabbath-esque opening riff of New Moon Rising to the Deep Purple inspired overdriven guitar of Sundial. Then back to the distinctly Zeppelin White Feather, with a faux Bonham on drums, a clearly Page inspired guitar, restrained for the most part with a powerful solo all topped off with overtones of Robert Plant. Not to mention the title itself, perhaps a reference to Plant's "symbol" from the famous Led Zeppelin IV album.
If you only listened to the first 4 tracks you'd be more than pleased with your purchase, but the Album manages to maintain its integrity throughout. It knows what inspired it, but is unique enough to be a classic in its own right. Whilst the music finds its roots clearly in the 70s, the album as a whole feels more modern than the first album (with a couple of exceptions).
The title track, for me, is probably one of the weaker tracks on the album and never really finds its groove. Whilst the rhythm section does its best to keep a common thread, the track meanders through too many versions of itself...and all with 4 minutes. Far Away, far more of a ballad than we’re used to hearing from Wolfmother, starts a little awkwardly but once it finds its feet ends as a spirit lifting piece. The song acts as a perfect cool down before the album stomps its way through the mythical Pilgrim, In the Castle and Phoenix. Before you know you're into the wailing, modern epic, Violence of the Sun, and then you’re into the bonus tracks. For those who didn't get the bonus tracks, you didn't miss much as both tracks are clear B-Side material....for the die-hards only.
Whilst many may have had their doubts about Wolfmother MKII, it’s clear that Andrew Stockdale was more than just the voice of the original line-up. The heart and soul of Wolfmother remains, but now more tempered, focused and consistent.
The report of Wolfmother's death is an exaggeration
This is an awesome album that will not disappoint. Soaring guitar riffs, nonsensical mystical lyrics and a substantial amount of power in all the tracks. No weaknesses, it's like Wolfmother never left.
Is it possible to say "vintage Wolfmother" about their second album?
mehz
the one thing missing for me is the drumming of myles hesket, he was truly unique and wolfmother just arent the same without him. sorry xxxx
