   Those who rated this cd low doesn't understand the nitch this band fills between bubble gum and gangster rap. This album is just what Those who rated this cd low doesn't understand the nitch this band fills between bubble gum and gangster rap. This album is just what the doctor ordered for what I was looking for in music. These boys rock as well as have great harmonies between the band. To knock this album can only re inforce my belief that your taste surley must be in your ass.… Expand

   I had great expectations but this album lacks the substance that made 'Get Born' a great listen. It is a highly commercialise rock 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

   How these guys ever released their debut album and didn't get a call from Iggy Pop's lawyer is beyond me. I can imagine the How these guys ever released their debut album and didn't get a call from Iggy Pop's lawyer is beyond me. I can imagine the conversation these Neanderthals had just prior to recording their "breakthrough hit." It went something like this: "Hey guys, let's take the melody of 'Lust for Life,' play it about an eighth as well, and put impossibly juvenile lyrics over it. Ah yes, that'll do nicely. After all, anyone who hears us won't have any idea who Iggy Pop is!" Oops...damn Carnival Cruise commercial! And just look at those scowling faces looking all detached and blase. Guys, hasn't Oasis put us through enough already?… Expand
