Isn't it with a different bassist & drummer?

I don't consider it to be Wolfmother anymore. You can't just go and replace 2/3 of your band and call it the same thing. Andrew Stockdale isn't that great of a guitarist/singer anyway. I loved the first album, but if I like this one it'll be me liking a new band, not Wolfmother.

Downloaded the track and to me sounded the same as the last Wolfmother. Sounds good to me

I didn't know the line-up changed... The only original member of King Crimson is Robert Fripp, and they're still great.

I'll reserve my judgements for later.

But doesn't he write everything for the band anyway? So even if you change the other members of the band, it's still the same style because he's writing it all. (I'm not sure if he does write everything, but I always just thought he did).

Having said that, I'm not really a fan :P

no offense to any wolfmother fans, but they were a pretty bad rhythm section anyways. Its probably going to be a better wolfmother.

no we are not lucky. when i heard they will be touring with ac/dc i died a little inside. everyone i know has had a gut full of wolfmother. we had their very average album force fed to us at every opportunity and now no-one is interested. there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. but when its a mediocre band with mediocre songs it really does get too much too quickly.

+1, and this is coming from an American. I can't even imagine how bad it must be over there. They were unique, but not incredible by any means. Better than most rock out there today, but not up to par with the greats IMO.

One of my friends, who's a good drummer, praises them so the rhythm section couldn't have been all that bad. Being force fed their songs like Anesthesia (perhaps i'll see you there) said is a massive turn off. I was hoping for a better opening act for ac/dc but i guess wolfmother sort of suits the era of rock (them being compared to classic rock bands)

Allot of hate going on here- I guess the internetz has decided Wolfmother sucks.

Now let the elitist BS continue! I'm off to find a thread title that irks me, so I can shut down that conversation... Maybe come back later so I can "+1" someone else's hate.

Something about their "average" music grabbed everyone by their ear. Their music brings back visions of 70's rock. There music is a consumption product, worth several plays then you move on, like a cheap novel.

I'm gonna try get tickets tommorow when they come on sale.

I dunno, their new song sounds "Sabbath like" to me.

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one whose mind went immediately to that clip upon the mentioning of Wolfmother. ;)

Firstly, he said "'60s Italian music with an Orchestra...", which a) is bad transcription that absolutely changes the meaning of what he said, and b) is a genre of music that hasn't be "covered" to death unlike the Zeppelin/Black Sabbath/AC-DC that pretty much comprises WM.

...and in my book Mike Patton, who is just about the most innovative vocalist in modern music, has just as much right to dislike WM as you do to like them. It's simply not his fault he's well-known enough to have a camera in his face while WM starts playing their hit. :smug:

Okay, I'm sorry, but I just don't get the hate for Wolfmother. Granted, I haven't listened to commercial FM in years and I avoid pretty much anything in the mainstream music press, so I guess I never got burned out on them (or Coldplay, for the same reason). The only reason I ever got turned on to them in the first place was due to the fact that I read about them in Bass Player. Sounded like something I might dig, so I previewed them on Amazon and dug what I heard.

Personally, I absolutely LOVED Wolfmother's first CD. Was it "technically" great (say, for example, in the vein of Porcupine Tree or some such)? No, but it kicked my ass sideways and that was what I liked about it.

As for Mike Patton, I liked FNM, so I have nothing against him. I do think it was pretty classless to rip them like that on camera while they were performing in the background.

Whatever, though. To each his/her own, right?

ive heard a bit of the press stockdales done, and heard one of the new tracks, due to the fact its already on the radio over here, and fromn what i can gather they still sound the same and at least live the band consists of stockdale, rythum guitarist, bassist, organ player and a drummer

Mike Patton is a douchebag - what he tries passing off as "art" is self-indulgent pap.

I'll take Wolfmother over this crap any day:

If you don't really listen to that kind of music, Wolfmother is great.

But, like with most other genres, the groups that gain the most recognition aren't usually ones that the fans of the sound like the best.

Different strokes. I really haven't dug anything he's done since Angel Dust, but that's the beauty of music - one man's trash is another man's treasure.

The difference is that 16th century Italian music hasn't been repackaged and cloned by modern rock based musical artists like 1960's/1970's music has been. Mike Patton dares to be different while Wolfmothere take an easy approach. Mike Patton choose to play 16th century music in order to do something different. The point wasn't that Wolfmother are playing music taken from a different time period, it was that they are taking a road often traveled.

I think that the rehashed, repackaged rock n' roll thing Wolfmother is doing is way more self indulgent than what Mike Patton does. Patton experiments and tries to go places no one has gone before. Obviously some people aren't going to like this and some are. Wolfmother makes music that is easily accessible and will likely make them lots of money.

Anyway, I think Wolfmother is okay for a modern band. But why not just listen to the original classics? That's my take. There is an abundence of better classic rock bands that are available to listen to that are better than Wolfmother in my opinion. Wolfmother are a great example of a band I wouldn't mind being in (for the fun factor) but don't really care to listen to.

hahaha are you serious? Some people are really diggin it too. No offense to anyone who does :hiding:

Anyway, I personally like Wolfmother, old and new.

the new wolfmother is the best wolfmother, in my opinion. i love the new cd! they've found their signature sound

Holy Penguin Crap Batman! Apparently Andrew Stockdale had something to prove to ex-band mates Chris Ross and Myles Heskett. I liked the first record over all, but it was for the most part watered down neo-stoner psychedelia made friendly for the radio....though it did bring some attention to the floundering Stoner Genre by earing them a Grammy...but I wasn't all that bummed when they split up....

I recently saw them at Voodoo Fest, and I have to say that Andrew found excellent replacements in Ian Peres and Dave Atkins, so much so in fact you can't even tell that Chris Ross and Myles Heskett ever left the band.....Even so I was avoiding this record...and finally broke down and bought it.....

I can't stop listening to this CD.....I hear the Beatles, E.L.O., The Doors, Blue Cheer, MC5, Toe Fat, Bloodrock, Frijid Pink, Cream, Deep Purple and a touch of Pink Floyd all woven into some serious fuzzed out gooey over indulgent stoner fest that puts me in mind of Kyuss, and early Queens of the Stoned Age.....

yeah it is still a bit radio friendly and the way the songs are crafted will fool ya....because they don't end the way they start and sometimes you would swear the songs switched and your CD player just didn't manage to register the track...lol (what i'm trying to say is they start out sounding a bit beatle-ish move into Deep Purple slide into and E.L.O. love fest and then crashes into a Kyuss style riff with the energy and sonic fury of the MC5 and then ending like Floyd)...seriously....

If you even remotely like the songs "Woman", or "Joker and the Thief" off the last record, well this record blows that stuff away.....so much for the curse of the Somphomore slump....these guys came back kicking and screaming.....

the only thing that seems to bug me is they used Alan Moulder to mix the record, (yeah yeah i know the British love this guy, but all the bands he mixes start to have the same production quality) who has engineered The Jesus and Mary Chain, Ride, Lush, Lostprophets, Shihad, Ivyrise, and My Bloody Valentine.....and you can hear his influence on the CD...well that and Stockdale's voice....it gets annoying from time to time...

well worth the $12.00 bucks i spent and it has moved into the #1 spot in my CD Changer....

I give it an 8.5 out of 10

and i have a new bass player on my listening radar.....Ian Peres not only handles all the tasty bass lines (i swear he has been listening to me on the sly...lol), but plays the crap out of the organ as well....

they are going to sell the crap out of this...and again hopefully open some doors for a few other bands that deserve some recognition that are not currently getting the mainstream spotlight

just my .02

I was a bit hesitant to get this as well, wasn't that big of a fan of the first single they released. Finally got it last week and :eek:!!! I really really like it!

I saw them the night before I saw Them Crooked Vultures. Incredible really. Seriously fantastic

This I don't really get. Maybe I haven't listen to enough neo-stoner, but they always seemed really original. I don't have anything in my library that sounds anything like them. I hear the same complaint a lot, but I can't really think of many songs that sound too much like Joker and the Thief, Colossal, Vagabond, White Unicorn, etc.

I finally listened to it, and they totally snaked a Dead Meadow riff on Pilgrim.

Wolfmother are a solid, straight ahead rock band who do their thing well. Although the line-up has changed, it's still Wolfmother and it's still a fairly unique sound as far as modern mainstream rock goes. I enjoy it!

I don't think they ever set out to change the world of music, and we shouldn't condemn them because they haven' done that.

My .002 cents!

Wolfmother, like ANY band out there has haters and groupies.

Personally I like the majority of my music to have a "stoner"/psych feel to it, so consider me to be on the "groupie" side of Wolfmother.

Cosmic Egg is a VERY listen-able album in MY opinion, and I'm glad to have it in my collection.

But, like with most other genres, the groups that gain the most recognition aren't usually ones that the fans of the sound like the best.


Simply put, I'm not looking forward to this record. This.

Wolfmother = Godsmack

This.

Wolfmother = Godsmack
IMO.... not yet. Tho I do have all of Godsmack's stuff up to and including IV, which I thought sounded like poo.

Their self-titled and Awake were the best of them. Faceless was ok-ish....

So, I'll agree with you if Wolfmother's third album is a total load.....

Yii.
I would rather buy a Black Sabbath or uriah Heep album.
And that´s coming from an Australian.
We have bands over here that make Wolfmother and Jet look like amateurs.
It´s just a pity that the ¨geniuses¨ in marketing found these guys

I wouldn't throw them into the Godsmack category. I have both of Wolfmother albums and most of the songs sound pretty different in my opinion, while most of the Godsmack songs that I have ever heard sound about the same. No I'm not saying that they are note for note the same, but when I listen to a Godsmack CD I feel like I am listening to the same song over and over again....... Maybe Its the mood and tempo of the music?

Godsmack songs are mostly just drop tuned and played on "1 string". Like most nu-metal.

I don't get the impression that Wolfmother would or will ever be like that.

I like it but all the songs sound like Led Zepplin.

I though this thread died when people tried to explain how Mike Patton playing 16th century chamber music was original.

Good to see it still going and that there are real conversations about the album now.

Yii.

totally

I'm going to clarify my previous post:

Wolfmother = Godsmack = McDonald's

And now I leave the thread. Your ears aren't the same as mine, who am I to judge?

Not a Wolfmother fan. To me they will introduce indie kids (what I think are called hipsters in America) to stoner music, which is a bad thing. I am a fan of such stuff as White Witch Canyon, Yawning Man,Snail and Kyuss, and I don't want indie kids to come and ruin the genre. Indie kids have a habit of polluting decent genres with their pathetic "ironic" 3rd rate imitations. For example 10 years ago I could probably listen to Joy Division and The Velvet Underground and not be labled a hipster. Now all the faux art-student hipsters listen to that stuff (or atleast pretend to) and have totally polluted it. Hipsters/indie kids are like cultural black holes, in that they suck in good things and destroy them.

Wolfmother seem to attract hipsters because they think that parodying 1970s rock music is 'ironic'. To me, if Wolfmother are clearly influenced by early Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult and Zeppelin why not listen to them instead? Wolfmother's singer is some horrendously untrained dude who sounds like a goat in heat, and his guitar playing is pedestrian at best. Not sure about the new guys but the old keyboard player was certainly no match for Emerson, Wakeman or even JPJ. The drummer was also completely un-noteworthy. Basically the band are a facsimile of much better bands, whereas decent groove stoner/doom bands exist out there in abundance and only have a small following.

Hell, I miss The Trilobites! :D

You can't just go and replace 2/3 of your band and call it the same thing.

Bang on mate

I agree with sticking to the bands they imitate, they sounded pretty OK with the genre. I really don't have anything bad to say, but my listens where meh.

i loved the original album. heard a few cosmic egg songs, they sounded decent. gonna get the album

I LOVED the first album. Not big on the new one. It's good, but I don't think it's as creative as the first (don't even get me started on the whole 'copying' thing. Not an argument I want to get in to).

It felt like the first was more.....raw (I can't think of any other word to put it). To me it's like the difference in between older Foo Fighter's albums and the newer ones. I'm not under the impression that more polished rock is the way to go. I like my rock rough around the edges.

I have to agree, the first one was a little rawer and more aggressive. Perhaps slightly better songs on the the first one as well. If I had to pick, I'd say the first release has the edge. But I like Cosmic Egg too. Stockdale rocks.

I still love and listen to Wolfmother's influences, and I think it's cool that any band today is trying to make music in that style.

Yeah, and a lot of reviewers don't agree. I was really surprised after listening to the debut album, and then looking up the reviews for said album. It was like I was listening to something completely different or something. But then they loved Cosmic Egg. I still think it comes down to the fact that Cosmic Egg is a bit more mainstream. In the Castle, In the Morning, and 10,000 Feet are great tracks though.

I agree. People complain that Wolfmother sounds unoriginal, but in reality, it's not a very flooded genre. I mean, of all things musical to complain about, I don't think Wolfmother should be it. Plus, I can't find many other songs out there that sound like Colossal, Joker and the Thief, or Mind's Eye. I firmly believe that those that claim Wolfmother is original haven't looked past Woman. Stockdale rocks. I saw them live in Seattle, fantastic show. The band had energy like I'd never seen before in musicians. Ian Peres was going CRAZY.

am so happy to hear the new album :) its nice not as good as the first one but am really glad wolfmother is back

Got the first album the day it came out and have been a big WM fan since then. Saw them live about a month ago here in nyc and they kicked butt. Amazing live act. They had the newno2, Danny(sp?) harrison's band, opening for them and their drummer was amazing.

In the booklet for the CD it says:

"Pilgrim" inspired by: Dead Meadow "Everything Going On"

TBH, IMO, there is a mighty thin line between "inspired by" and "totally ripped off of"

At least they're getting credit for it, and hopefully some of the people who buy Cosmic Egg go and check out Dead Meadow.

Actually, everyone who likes Wolfmother and hasn't checked out Dead Meadow is doing a serious disservice to themselves.

One of my students brought this band to my attention a couple of years ago. Quite good, if that's your thing.

They put on a great live show, too.

Not to mention a cheap one--I saw them earlier this year in Boston for $12!

gonna check out dead meadows :)

I don't understand how a group can destroy music, I have listened to Joy Division before hipsters did and after and to me it still sounds the same. Just because a new generation/group is listening to something and it becomes hip or mainstream doesn't change a thing about the music. If you care about what other people think about the music you listen to or who listens to your music than your just as bad as those hipsters.

Yeah, great act. I saw them and Them Crooked Vultures in a 2 day span :D. Made my decade. Yeah! That band was great! I HATED the Heartless Bastards. We literally almost fell asleep. The drummer for the newno2 was great. He looked like a marine. I think he pounds on the drums about as hard as Dave Grohl, if not harder.
