    Quite a bad album, unlike past albums this does not have even 2-3 songs which are worth listening to. they weren't a great band to start with, and this album just feels like self-parody.

    First album was good, second not so much and this is just outright bad. Doing nothing original was fine the first time but now it sounds like they aren't even trying but then again maybe that what to expect.

    What happened to these guys? Ok granted they were far from original when they began but their first two albums definitely had something - a soul, a vibe, an energy. This album has nothing. It's completely void of soul. Just a really odd collection of 'rip offs'. It's a bit sad really.

    I really wish Jet would rhyme with SHIT. because that's what I want to say about this, I want it to be: "Jet? More like SHIT!"

    Horrible. What's with the 80's disco influence throughout this disc?? Reminds me of the horrible third release from The Knack. Terrible.

    Shaka Rock squanders the promise Jet showed on their previous work, and even if they soldier on and release another ten albums, this feels like the end of the road for them.

    By and large, Shaka Rock is an unmistakable and confident move toward respectability for Jet. But it does make you wonder why it's so rough for a band to be young, dumb and full of bad come-ons.

    They're back with another dull slog through the AC/DC catalog.
