    No synthetics here. An ear pleasing rock n' roll band, without annoying sounds like some bands of today.

    Great stuff, Jet manages to mix elements from other bands and morph it into their own distinctive style. 'Get Born' gets catchy, but also slows down the tempo for music of a more somber mood. Good to see Australian bands making it in the US as well, terrific garage rock.

    Theres a good explanation why jet are getting the cash. the hit's such as "rollover dj" and "are you gonna be my girl" must have been huge and this album got big which i think off these traks should have made more.

    Finally, some good music comes out of the stagnant stream of others. They go through fast and slow songs, and rock the whole way through. With this album, Jet's future looks pretty promising. And it's only 9$, so what are you waiting for?

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

    There's a difference between being influenced by great bands, and just blatanly ripping them off. And when i say "ripping off", i mean it in the most derogatory and worst way. You'd be better off making a mixtape of all the original songs. This band is an embarassment to real fans of rock and roll. Scratch that, this band is just an embarassment.

    a sorry knock off of 70's rock. without the coolness. i mean really the singer and drummer look like some "london leather" dudes from the 70's. this band does lick ballz.

    Great fun! Rock the way it should be. Loud, raucous, snotty and yet thoughtful and with depth. Great first album ... assuming better things in the future, as they grow.

    I think this CD is one of the best that i've heard for a long time. Im happy that some bands are actually still upbeat and like to rock, instead of being so emo and punk. It's good to get back in touch with the old.

    Enticing lyrics, memorable songs, and you will most definitely find yourself banging your head to songs like Roll Over and Cold Hard B****. And you will sob right along with Timothy and Look What you've Done. Those into this thing will love it!

    Hey pure magic - great varying moods and some real kicking rock thats just great when in the care with the volume cranked up! "Cold Hard Bitch" is just truly superb, great stuff! Ok so you do tend to hear similarities to The Rolling Stones and The Beatles but what does that matter? Everyone gets influenced by something and what is produced is always an outcome of that.

This album is one of 2 albums which I believe are the best for 2 years and one of the best for many years. The other album is Snow Patrols "Final Straw" Expand

  1. Comes off as a mix between the White Stripes' bluesy insouciance and AC/DC's cockeyed swagger.
  2. A quartet that lives, dies and drinks to Exile on Main Street.

    The overall aesthetic is young, loud, and snotty. [17 Oct 2003, p.82]
