[...] frontman Andrew Stockdale on vocals, doing his usual Robert Plant/Ozzy imitation. Much like in Wolfmother songs, the guitars remind you a bit too much of rock anthems from the 70’s. However, probably [...]

This album rocks hard… that’s the point of it and it sounds good. Seems like as soon as somebody who is respected (rightfully or otherwise) in the world of music reviewers is having a bad day and decides to slate an album, all the little wannabe sheep reviewers immediately agree? I listen to different music depending on my mood, as I’m sure you all do and this suits my ‘rocking out in the car on the way to fucking work’ moods perfectly, as did their previous album.

Hey there,

I don’t think White Feather is a rip off from Led Zepplin at all. However that riff at the beginning was bugging me from the first time i heard and today i realize where I have heard it before. Start me Up by the Rolling Stones.
I like this album and I bought it cause these days pretty much every band I hear sounds like a band from the 70’s and 80’s even Muse who remind me of Queen.

Cheers.

Come on this review is fucking rediculous – every good rock band that has come along in the last 15 years has had the shit bagged out of it for being unoriginal (esp any band not from the US) – and then we wonder why rock music is dead. For a start Wolfmothers vocals aren’t at all like Zepp unless you’re deaf, in fact neither are the rhythms – guitar tone is about the only thing and fuck last time I checked using a particular guitar and amp wasn’t the same as songwriting. Have you listened other than superficially to the album??? Have you actually listed extensively to Sabbath and Zepp??? Are you actually a musician or are you some tone-deaf hack as much of your colleagues seem to be. Keyboards are more similar to Uriah Heep if anything but reviewers are too ignorant to know their music. Perhaps if the fuckwit reviewers in question weren’t so ignorant they would have listened to enough music to know the beatles and stones ‘copied’ their influences as much as modern bands do and hence wouldn’t approach reviews in such a pig-headed manner… My review – Cosmic Egg is a fucking good album by a fucking good band, one of the best in the world at present, it seems Australians are the only ones that aren’t too fucking thick to appreciate good music anymore… And fuck me who mentioned Josh Homme – what a fucking wanker that guy is… If the US produced 15 times the number of great rock bands that Aussie produces (as the population difference would suggest they should) we would be in an amazing age for music – instead they peddle this rediculous crap like Greenday and Nickelback on the rest of the world…

Blue Cheer for sure, but that band was a little more raw sounding, not so polished. Got the first album, been meaning to get Outsideinside.

Hmmm…does anyone else remember when Stockdale himself described Wolfmother’s music as a cross between 60s power trios, Zeppelin and Sabbath? I’m pretty sure it was along those lines…So while he probably doesn’t believe that Wolfmother is a complete blatant rip off, he certainly hasn’t denied the huge and direct influence on their sound.

P.S. How come no one ever mentions the clear Blue Cheer influence? A lot of OutsideInside (Blue Cheer’s second album) sound on both WM albums.

Nice.

Methinks the jedi doth protest too much. You are hardly putting your…..umm…. “art” on the line.

Never seen a Jedi with a paunch til now. Try lookin at your own waistline before throwing out comments about being fat. And who the fuck calls people he’s never seen a fat fuck? Infantile Douche.

May the Slimfast be with you.

zoopster, thanks for your input you fat fuck. good to see you’re awesome at dishing out dirt on those that put their art on the line. how’s about you go off and do something creative other that sitting on your fat arse jerking off to songs made by shithouse 2-chord homo’s? May the Force jam it up your arse!

I wiil give you one thing, there are bands that I thought sucked until I saw them live and they kicked my ass, so you might be right on that one.
