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

    Jet are at their best in the high power-riff gear of "Stand Up" and "Rip It Up"... with singer-guitarist Nic Chester barking and bawling like an improbable trinity of Liam Gallagher, Bon Scott and Axl Rose. When those songs take off, you fly.

    Something about Jet doesn't quite ring true. [Dec 2006, p.106]

    The problem once again is that it’s all been done before and better. [#15]

    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 dig it. Simple, yes, but I did not expect a reinvention of the wheel purchasing a Jet album.

    It may not be groundbreaking stuff, but it's still a solid album. Its like the comfort food of the music world

    The album as a whole doesn't back up songs like "Cold Hard Bitch" or "Are you gonna be my girl" from their last album. "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is" is the only great song. There are a view other average ones, and then a few that just suck. I hate to admit, but they really are trying to replicate older bands like the Beatles. In music, you've got to be creative and unique and this album is neither of those things.… Expand
