P.DruttenJan 25, 2010Between the few memorable songs this record is dripping with fillers. With high anticipations after the strong debut, it's hard not to get gravely disappointed with this one.

Dec 5, 2016As 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 feel the whole album seems a little bland, a little drowned in noise. It's more like a collection of B-Sides. All in all, disappointing, but by no means bad.

Cosmic Egg [is] a mature sophomore effort, particularly if it's just judged on all the sonic textures Wolfmorther serves up, but as the album closes with a series of meandering mysticism it's hard not to miss Stockdale's previous reliance on nasty repetitive riffs.

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.

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.
