Jet storm the new rock pack with the diverse appeal and catchy compositions. [Nov 2003, p.112]
-
The overall aesthetic is young, loud, and snotty. [17 Oct 2003, p.82]
-
83Jet has more fun with songs like "Cold Hard B****" than most bands do during their entire careers.
-
Comes off as a mix between the White Stripes' bluesy insouciance and AC/DC's cockeyed swagger.
-
80There's a raw urgency to the album that belies its dated influences. [Oct 2003, p.108]
-
70There's nothing on this record that has any danger of keeping you from your beer. There are two gears: fast and slow, shoutalong and sobalong.
-
70Jet frequently manage to turn in the kind of bulgy-veined, streamlined gonzo rock that [Oasis] haven't managed since the mid-90s. [Nov 2003, p.114]
-
67If this album had been released five years ago, it would've been a blast. Today, it's the same new same old. [Nov 2003, p.117]
-
There's no denying the disc's unbridled energy, and those who pine for a return to the booze-fueled days of '70s rock must find immense pleasure in Get Born's finer moments.
-
A quartet that lives, dies and drinks to Exile on Main Street.
-
The best tunes here have that boys'-club vibe of the best early-to-mid-'70s hard-rock bands, dead-on and nailed.
-
50If you dig the likes of the D4 and The Datsuns, you'll dig Jet, even though Get Born is the over-hyped sound of a few old records stuck in an all-too-familiar groove. [#23, p.93]
-
50At least they're better than The Vines.
-
40An efficient if fairly joyless hybrid of the Stones, AC/DC and Oasis. [Nov 2003, p.109]

37We sound like everyone's favorite old rock bands, we have insipid lyrics, we say 'Come On!' and 'Oh Yeah!' every five seconds, we have no discernable identity, and we're from Australia. What could people possibly dislike about us?

SeanM0I would give this album a "monkey drinking its own urine," but apparantly zero is the lowest you can go.
