    With Shine On, Jet manage to establish a common ground between Badfinger and AC/DC. [Nov 2006, p.110]

    This band sounds like a bunch of great bands. So what? It sounds great! Show me a new band that doesn't sound like someone else and I�39;ll show you a band that sounds like crap. Jet outdid themselves here. It sounds better live....go see them before you tear them apart.… Expand

    I had great expectations but this album lacks the substance that made 'Get Born' a great listen. It is a highly commercialise rock album and it does not have songs that connect to its listeners like 'Move On' and 'Timothy' did on their debut album. I will not deny that some of the songs are great but as a whole it doesn't illustrate the potential of the boy's musical range and creativity. Although 'Get Born' sounded like some of the greatest bands of the past, 'Shine On' sounds like a Jet cover band playing music for people who don't know what the NME stands for.… Expand
