Jet - Shine On

Jet - Shine OnI bought "Get Born" when it first came out (Jet's debut album), and was very pleasantly surprised. Jet is the first band to bring back classic rock. Their new album maintains that formula, and this is a good thing.

I must say, when listening to a few songs on this album, I can't help but be reminded of the Beatles. Don't get me wrong, I would never claim that Jet is as good as the beatles, but there are quite a few moments that seem to pay homage to the best band that ever existed (Kings Horses, Shine On, Bring It On Back, Hey Kids). Although I wouldn't say this album comes even close to anything the Beatles have done, I can't help but feel the influence of Mr.'s Lennon and McCartney in this album. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I'm not the only one that feels this way, either:

The Oasis factor is all over the place. Dave Sardy, who produced that band's latest album, Don't Believe the Truth, does the honors here, and Jet's Beatlemania in "Bring It On Back" and the paisley-guitar chime of "Come On Come On" is a lot like Noel Gallagher's spin on the '68 John Lennon. - David Fricke (Rolling Stone)

Along with the Beatles influence, there is plenty of heavy hitting tunes to enjoy as well: "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is", "That's All Lies", "Come On, Come On", "Stand Up", "Rip It Up".

Overall, this album won't disappoint. I have to say that it gets better the more I listen to it. I recommend popping it in, and putting it on repeat. Give it a few rotations to truely soak in. If you like that good old classic rock sound, then you're definitely going to like this album.
