Cons: Needs a bit more originality and substance
In an industry overloaded with getto rap and CandyPop it's good to hear a throwback to the days of Glamrock and Punk music. The sound is upbeat and positive. The lyrics, although fresh and fun, lack any real substance or ingenuity. Looking forward to hearing next release.

Pro Reviews: Get Born
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Jet's Get Born is a seriously rocking album that comes off as a mix between the White Stripes' bluesy insouciance and AC/DC's cockeyed swagger. Toss in some New York Dolls strut, maybe some of Sweet's jailbait philosophizing, definitely some of Oasis' lookatme attitude, some of the Verve's sense of grandeur, and you've got something to impress your friends as you blast it out of your car speakers on a Friday night. There are a lot of other bands traveling a similar path these days and it is hard to explain why this record works so well when so many others sound weak and studied. Maybe it is because they hail from the nononsense Australian rock tradition. Maybe it is the tough but clean production by Dave Sardy. Most likely it is the songs. They are catchy with singalong choruses, with lots of "hey"s and handclaps and glam stomp beats. "Rollover D.J.," "Get What You Need," and "Get Me Outta Here" are tight, raw, and flashy rockers. It is a sure sign that you are dealing with a band that has it all together when the ballads are as good as the rockers. "Look What You've Done" is a pianobased weeper that only needs some swelling strings to launch it into Guns N' Roses territory, "Move On" is an early'70s Stones country ballad with some fine slide work. The only track that really falters is the silly and meanspirited "Cold Hard Bitch," which takes an illadvised trip down Nazareth lane and leaves the listener with a foul taste in their mouth. The placement of Get Born's sweetest ballad ("Come Around Again" right after it is the only thing that saves the album. And it is an album worth saving. Get Born is a very promising debut by a band that steals from all the right places, rocks nonironically even epically at times and sounds great blasting out of a car or on headphones. - Tim Sendra, All Music Guide |

Pros: the rebirth of true rock
Cons: words lacking in ingenuity
with traces of AC/DC, the beatles, guns n' roses, and a bevvy of other retro groups, jet's instrumental techniques are also amazing, the artists make use of all their instruments, from the slide guitar to drums to the organ and piano. with Mark wilson playing three instruments, and billy preston covering on some songs. jet, in a sense, is retro. They dont bar themselves to just a single "theme" for each song either; in Lazy Gun, they go from an AC/DC sound to the late sixties melodies. This seems to make up for the lyrics being repetitive and at times, boring. In Look What You've Done, the listener finds himself annoyed towards the end at the repitition of the chorus. this is definately an album for the lovers of classic rock, and those who grow tired of rap and want to feel good after hearing an album. This is feel-good rock. ...
