Amazon.co.uk Review
IGet Born/I, 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. p The really good news, though, is that IGet Born/I 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: IGet Born/I rocks.

 An Album I Just Can't Put Down May 3, 2004
Alexander Smith
31 out of 35 found this review helpful
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.pWell 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.pThis 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.pFavourite Tracks:p"Are You Gonna Be My Girl" (Of Course)br"Rollover DJ"br"Look What You've Done"br"Sgt. Major"pIf I were in a band, this is the exactly kind of music I would make.
The Saviours of Rock 'N' Roll? September 19, 2004
9 out of 10 found this review helpful
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. br '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'. br 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.
A great album of Rock from Australia October 18, 2004
8 out of 12 found this review helpful
This is an album full of "classic" rock. It has influences of other bands, but still fresh and original.Jet started off as a band from Melbourne, Australia performing in pubs until the last few years when they became very popular and its easy to see why. This is a great album of rock as well as a few slower songs which are also excellent.
Superb disc from Jet October 17, 2004
M. LLOYD (Bedfordshire, UK)
6 out of 9 found this review helpful
This disc is crammed full of top-notch tunes. In the same way that Elastica's debut (for example) kept the songs shot sweet and left you wanting more, only a select few are over four minutes. Instead Jet get straight to the 'point' of the song.pRanging from Vines / Stripes style rockers (Are You Gonna Be My Girl, Rollover DJ, Get Me Out Here) to simply beautiful latter Beatles-like piano ballads (Look What You've Done), This album reminds me of how wonderful the first Stereophonics album was. Let's hope Jet don't go poo!
