Title: JET, anyone? Post by: Don't Back Down on August 26, 2006, 08:00:13 AM I've been a fan of JET from their first album. I think their new single is rockin', it's the one on the Verizon Wireless commercials for their Chocolate phone. You can check it out at

I have the first album and thought it was okay when it came out, but I recently put it in again and it was pretty unsatifying for me. There's some good stuff on there, but a lot of it just kind of made me cringe. I think for me, they're one of those bands I want to like, but their output doesn't match their potential. Like "The Vines." I keep buying them, but they never quite get there.
Title: Re: JET, anyone? Post by: Rocker on August 26, 2006, 02:16:31 PM I love their first album. It is awesome !!! But this new single I don't like very much. It's mediocre imo, but maybe the album will be better.

Title: Re: JET, anyone? Post by: Don't Back Down on October 04, 2006, 07:18:03 AM Bought the album yesterday. As a whole, the album is really good. Some highlight songs to me: Holiday, Kings Horses, Come On Come On, Stand Up and Bring It On Back. The only downfall of the album is the inclusion of "Hey Kids". This is a song they wrote a while back, but this time around they messed with the arrangement and lyrics (for US audience I guess original lyrics: "you hated Vietnam, but you dig Afganistan" in the Shine On version, "you hated Vietnam, but you love Uncle Sam"). I prefer the original much better, it's more catchy, but to each his own. That's my only gripe about this new album from JET. I recommend to pick it up. 10/10
*listening to "Hey Kids" now, I think my opinion is starting to change on the new arrangement............. :hat |
