The Cosmos Rocks album has been reviewed by the BBC's Chris Jones. A very lukewarm review which you would have to say would probably equate to 2 stars out of 5.

Why am I not surprised?
The press continues to hate. What's new.

What will Brian say? :P
I think thats quite a decent review.
"A very lukewarm review which you would have to say would probably equate to 2 stars out of 5."
That's your editorializing. Having read it for myself, the review seems well on the "warm" side. Far from "scalding", but well past "lukewarm". Again, your bias, sir or madam. Struck me as more of a 4 stars out of 5. Far from revolutionary but a damn good time.

Thats not a two star review... Its better than that.
Not sure what you expect from the reviews but I think that is fairly positive.
3 star review if you ask me.
At least the guy has listened to it, half the time I swear they don't.

Who the hell called this a 2 star review?
It sounds more than fair, judging by what I've heard of the album so far.

Don't get me wrong, I'm gonna get the album and I'm going to a few gigs - I think what I've heard so far of the album is great and can't wait to get it. I want it to be a 5 star review everywhere.
I've read many reviews in my time and sorry folks, I would say that this just ain't a great review. The Mojo review was very good and that only made 3 stars and I sense a 4 star review coming up from Classic Rock (watch this space). Unfortunately reviews are just the views of one person you've got to remember that.
Don't shoot the messenger! Maybe on hindsight this could perhaps slip into a 3 star review which in most cases would make it 'good' but you can sense this reviewer is perhaps warm to the fact that the lads still want to give it a go, but doesn't really take to the album.

"pop genius John Deacon"?
Your not the messenger though Soul Brother... you're the one saying it's "lukewarm" and "2-star"... you're title is what drove my curiosity to reading this review! I think it's quite a fair and in parts flattering review. For the first time, I may actually be looking forward to hearing The CRs.
This review is very fair and balanced and hits the nail on the head in many ways. In fact: who wants to begrudge Brian, Roger, Paul Rodgers and the fans a little fun. This sentence makes a lot of people who get all wound up over the QPR project look bitter. It's just a bloody record :)
I had to smile about the "pop genius", too.

The reviewer thinks "Time To Shine" is outstanding.
Take no heed. He doesn't know what he's talking about!

Strong three stars if you ask me.
2 stars would have a negative review, in my opinion. This review is certainly not negative. Easy 3 stars.
Well the review in the Uncut is very very clear and not what many fans want to read
