    On this album, Wolfmother becomes a band worth paying attention to.

    This is no groundbreaking piece of art; it's not innovative, it's unashamedly backwards looking, and it rips off the greats to high heaven. It's also bloody awful for a significant amount of its running time. However, when it does work, it's a great thing.
  3. New Musical Express (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.

    At first it doesnt sound brilliant, but it turns out to be pretty good. Oh and its pretty funny how the only person who rated this low is named MikP obviously a brainwashed fanboy who rates things without listening to them and just follow what Patton says blindly.… Expand

    As a follow up this album really does lack. Although there are certain tracks that remind you why you love Wolfmother (Cosmic Egg , 10,000 Feet) personally i just think the whole album seems abit bland, and drowned in noise, it's more like a collection of B-Sides that were not used for a reason. All in all, disappointing - but still worth adding to your collection.… Expand

    Another album that will remind us how some bands can make Rock music really boring, spiritless and unimaginative.
