While frontman Andrew Stockdale had been hailed as a pioneer of hard rock revival, he was in danger of getting locked into Nickelback syndrome, making a career out of rewriting the same song. On “Cosmic Egg,” however, Wolfmother—with an all-new lineup supporting Stockdale—prove they have the talent and creativity to sustain their remarkable success.

...rally will still feature the Harvard cheerleaders, who are sure to impress with a few very difficult cartwheels and toe touches. There also will be some sort of inter-house competition, which will definitely star several over-eager section kids. As the Harvard Band plays the one song it knows (I’m sure you’d recognize the fateful tune), the rally is bound to be a bore—unless, of course, someone gets hurt...
