  1. For people awaiting that second Jet album, this should prove a welcome distraction from their crayons. For the rest of us it's a look of bemusement and a scratched head.
  2. As recently as last year it looked like The Datsuns might be next in line to make arena-sized, super-popular rock the way Zeppelin, AC/DC and G'n'R did. They still might, but it's going to take better songs than these.

    The Datsuns are a band who came too late. If this album had been released in the 90's, the Datsuns would've been HUGE! This album The Datsuns are a band who came too late. If this album had been released in the 90's, the Datsuns would've been HUGE! This album is brilliant messy rock, but people don't want that anymore, and while that's sad, all it should mean is that the people who hate rock shouldn't review it. Full Review »

    Agree with Andrew R. Loved the first album and this one just as much.
