Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Get Born, the debut album by young Melbourne group Jet, works--and works very well--on a couple of levels. The first, and most obvious, is as a lengthy game of "Spot the Riff". Jet seem to have adopted Oscar Wilde's dictum "talent borrows, but genius steals" as their band motto, and as such are not shy about acknowledging their influences. Opening track "Last Chance" bears more than a passing resemblance to the Cult's "Li'l Devil", the baleful ballad "Move On" is a very slight rewrite of the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want", "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" helps itself to the chugging rhythm guitar part from Iggy Pop's "Lust for Life", "Cold Hard Bitch" could be any one of half a dozen AC/DC songs, and so on, for 13 hugely entertaining tracks: it could even serve as an ice-breaking party game.

The really good news, though, is that Get Born stands up perfectly respectably as a rock album on its own merits. Like their approximate contemporaries the Kings of Leon, the White Stripes and the Darkness, Jet approach their hoary influences with a fresh, invigorating enthusiasm, and recycle them with such an exuberant guilelessness that any tendency the listener might have towards cynicism is suspended. There is nothing here you haven't heard in a thousand other records, but Jet wear these threadbare clothes with such poise and conviction that it doesn't matter: Get Born rocks. --Andrew Mueller



CD Description

'Get Born' is the debut album from the Australian based four piece Jet. The album is a straight forward mix of rock 'n'roll and blues, with the band being likened to the Rolling Stones, The Who, and fellow Aussie rockers AC/DC. Included on the album are the singles 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl', 'Rollover DJ' and tracks from their debut EP 'Dirty Sweet'.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Album I Just Can't Put Down, 3 May 2004
I have to admitt I was a little dubious about buying this album. I'd heard (and of course loved) "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" and was hankering for a new album so thought I'd give it a whirl.

Well basically, it's brilliant. From beginning to end is a ride filled with quality tunes. Every tune is catchy yet not repetetive and full of good solid rock. Jet also excel at the smoother side with lush piano tones and a voice that seems relativly unprocessed and is all the better for it.

This is one of the few recent albums (White Stripes, RHCP, being the exceptions) that I genuinly can't put down. I never tire of it and heartedly recommend it.

Favourite Tracks:

"Are You Gonna Be My Girl" (Of Course)
"Rollover DJ"
"Look What You've Done"
"Sgt. Major"

If I were in a band, this is the exactly kind of music I would make.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Very Good, 9 May 2004
Okay, it's spot the influence time on this album. Iggy Pop, ACDC, The Stones, The Kinks- not a bad bunch to copy and yes, I'm afraid that a few of the songs on this album wear their influences on their sleeves. But don't let that out you off because they are performed with such pedal to the metal conviction by Jet that you just can't help but be swept along with it. It helps like it sounds like the album was recorded virtually live, a bit of studio banter here and there, feedback, a hilariously mis-timed drum fill on "Take it or leave it"- it's brilliantly raw. I think it's on the ballads that Jet come into their own, some sweet melodies and harmonies- really memorable and heart felt. Can't wait to hear what they do next.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Saviours of Rock 'N' Roll?, 19 Sep 2004
By A Customer
In the world of manufactured pop that we live in today, it is relieving and refreshing to find a band that can rock AND roll.
'Get Born' kicks off with the short, hard rocking 'Last Chance', and quickly fires into the modern classic and first single, 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl'. After these brilliant opening tracks we are given the second single, the great 'Rollover DJ'. The mood settles with the sensitive ballad 'Look What You've Done', then Jet are back on form with the rocker 'Get What You Need'. We then get the bluesy 'Move On', featuring slide guitar and harmonica, followed by 'Radio Song'. 'Get Me Outta Here' paves the way for the fantastic, heavy rocking, AC/DC-style 'Cold Hard Bitch', and then 'Come Around Again' and 'Take It Or Leave It' bring us to the Bolan-esque 'Lazy Gun'. The album then closes with 'Timothy' and another rock ballad, 'Sgt. Major'.
This is a classic album from another band reshaping the face of music along with contemporaries such as Kings of Leon, The White Stripes, The Darkness and many others. If you are into thundering classic rock albums full of anthemic tracks, Jet are the band for you.
