    Jet storm the new rock pack with the diverse appeal and catchy compositions. [Nov 2003, p.112]
  4. 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.
  5. Jet has more fun with songs like "Cold Hard B****" than most bands do during their entire careers.
  6. There'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.

    There's a raw urgency to the album that belies its dated influences. [Oct 2003, p.108]
