I hope one day the original band line up settles their differences and gets back together. I fell in love with their first album when I was 12. It is a crime for those 3 to have stopped. They are still legendary to me.
I will tell you whats missing from cosmic egg. Chris Ross and Myles Heskett. The band isn't the same without them. I hope Stockdale realizes this one day.
@kattastrofe both have moments of greatness and weakness I think! Though I like the production sound of their debut more! Much more raw in my opinion. :) Nice posts!
@kattastrofe Ive noticed if you approach the new lineup as a different nd not compare them to the old trio they are freakin awesome... i think the new album is an improvement... but thats just me
@Skittnator just don't forget that when they were live at this point they were only maybe 5 years old(just a guess i not sure) of course there not as good as guys like led zeppelin but if they stuck together a bit longer they definitively could have been
I just think that the first album was more raw, and more kinda garage band, and the second is more professional sounding. opinion wise the first one was killer! second just good.
first album is an american classic. no question. people that love wolfmother know that this is a such a classic style of music and thats why they love it. i wish chris ross never left (keyboard) unbelievable at that keyboard. second album is still good with songs like far away, california queen, new moon rising, and 10,000 ft. this band better be around for a long time to come because i will love this band till the day i die
@MrFigueroa007 sorry, but I have to disagree even though cosmic egg failed to be as good as their debut, the new formation is really good. they play their old songs in a really nice way, but it's a shame that andrew couldn't write anything as good as their first works for this last album (but, overall, I like cosmic egg... songs like California Queen, New Moon Rising and 10,000 Feet make it worth buying)
cosmic egg is sooo far off from their first album its shocking. just watch and listen to the difference between the two versions of this song. WHAT happened to his VOICE? Its become so dead boring and nassaly. This is pure execellence, Crisp clear, amaaazing vocals. After maybe 100 listens of Cosmic Egg I find no enjoyment from it any more, its depressing and sound so flat. where's the fun and energy in the songs?
