Product Description
Description
Following their debut album, Jesus Jones released a pair ofsingles in 1990, "Right Here, Right Now" and "Real, Real, Real", which lifted them into the realm of superstardom, in the United States anyway. At home in England, they were grouped in with the so-called "grebo" movement--scruffy young menplaying speedy pop songs shot through with humor and adolescent ennui--which consisted of bands like the Wonder Stuff, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, and Pop Will Eat Itself, all of which had devout followings throughout Europe. With "Right Here, Right Now", Jesus Jones secured their place in pop history, albeit as one-hit wonders.
This is a shame, though, as DOUBT, the band's second album, is full of good tracks, among them "International Bright Young Thing", where a hyped-up, shuffling beat gives structure to peals of guitar shrapnel. "Welcome Back Victoria" is a strange, moody track built on a vaguely Eagles-like acoustic guitar line, and sinister, swirling metallic samples, while "Are You Satisfied?" in perfecting the band's "throw it in the blender" approach of their first album, is easily DOUBT's best track. Also of note is "Stripped", a grueling industrial dance workout that substantially improves on Nine Inch Nails' early work.
