Nov 21, 2021Really miss this Australian band great rock songs on here to dance to, shame they are no longer a band.

Jun 27, 2013This isn't as good as Get Born, but it's good. Very good. Jet is the modern day Beatles. Simple as that.
The title track is good, and Rip it up is a sleeper track. -
GeorgeC.Feb 7, 2008I liked these guys much better when they were called Iggy and The Stooges.

JohnNov 25, 2007I dig it. Simple, yes, but I did not expect a reinvention of the wheel purchasing a Jet album.

GrahamR.Aug 30, 2007Great rock album, hugely under rated. Clever, inventive, fresh yet heavily based on the classic sounds of the Stones, Faces and the Beatles. Thinking man's rock n roll, yet with enough firepower to get you air guitaring to the max.

PeterJul 26, 2007I have to admit, though incredibly crude, I cracked up at (and agreed with) the Pitchfork "review" of this album. I only wish Metacritic would throw it into the mix, at a 0, rather than just providing a link to it near the top.

RodrigoAMar 11, 2007How can these guys look at themselves? Everything they have ever made is a blatent ripoff of sixties and sevnties cock rock. I met these guys and Atlanta and they might have been the biggest jerks i have ever met. Their fans wanted autographs and pictures with them, and they turned them all down. Nothing good will ever come from these pretentious group of gap models.

SommyDec 21, 2006If another person tells me that the reason I don't like Jet is because I just don't like "good ol' fashioned rock music," I'm going to throw up. "Good ol' fashioned rock music" had to earn its status as legitimate music -- this, on the other hand, is nothing more than a copy of a copy of a copy. Context is everything, and Jet is a fake faking a fake.

smNov 19, 2006i used to hate jet, then i saw them at Make Poverty History on friday and they were amazing, it made me appreciate the music so much more, my onkly critism is that lead singer Nic Cester was chewing gum and it frustrated me. They did copy the beatles, but their music is actually pretty good.

sophiemNov 19, 2006i used to really dislike Jet. they copied the beatles and are just aother band. But, I saw them at Make Poverty History on Friday night. they were amazing live and the songs from the new album are great. seeing them perform really helped me appreciate the music my only criticism is that nic Cester was chewing gum during their whole time slot, and it really frustrated me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ChrisCOct 29, 2006OK so little on this album is original but come on, they exist in a world where popular music is at an all time low. At least with this band there are guitars in the top 40!
-
-
BrianVOct 28, 2006Not as fine as their Get Born debut. But where this album succeeds (Put Your Money, Shine On), it can't be beat. Put Your Money is alone worth the price of the CD.

DavidGOct 23, 2006This 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'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.

-
JayCOct 20, 2006The sound of the record is amazing - Guitar rock the way it should be recorded. Of the 14 songs all are very good except 2 that I have to skip each time they come on! How can that guy scream like that?? It's a keeper.

SeamusSOct 19, 2006I actually do listen to Justin Timberlake....because it's good. I know that'll cause a riot with all of these great kids that like to feel hip and alone by listening to Jet. No worries. I've dealt with this before. Make something new sounding. Stop repeating

-
BenHOct 18, 2006If you like the song "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is" don't buy this album, because unfortunately, that's the only song that is good rock on this album.
-
-
DustinTOct 17, 2006I thought this ablum was super solid and an awsome follow up to their debut album. If you didn't like this you should listen to Justin Timberlake
-
-
MIkeGOct 14, 2006Those 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.

ChristianMOct 12, 2006Another great album from JET Rock and roll with balls swinging for those interested in listening good tunes rather than picking where every blues/ rock progression "got born"

PaoloOct 11, 2006I am not agree with the negative reviews. This cd includes some good songs (Holiday, That's All Lies, Kings Horses, Shine On, Come On Come On, Rip It Up, Shiny Magazine) although not innovative. It's only r'n'r, enjoy it!

While occasionally generic, nothing on Shine On is as annoying as their breakthrough single, Are You Gonna Be My Girl.
-
Entertainment WeeklyMostly forgettable. [6 Oct 2006, p.68]
-
Get Born's follow-up suggests their musical palette is substantially broader than that of their progenitors or than their Cro-Magnon image suggests... [but] the lyrics are agonisingly stupid throughout.
