Seriously, go download it. You'll thank me. Rock and Roll is back.
It surprises me that you pimp Jet so hard, though my anti-jet leanings may come from a dislike of the beatles. But to me that first record, man I was so tired of hearing it. After a couple months, I just can't even put it on. But Im glad you dig on the Mother. Especially since you have a hard time with derivitive type bands...
See, Jet to me sounds more mellow beatles that rockin beatles to me. Maybe Im missing something? Other than the catchy as hell hit off the first record, I cant recall any rockin Jet tracks. If you like Downunder rock, give The Kiwi's a try, too. The D4 are great, young, garagy rock, but they havent put out anything in a couple years now, and I LOVE The Datsuns. 2 great albums, but kind of fell off the hype radar after their first record, so they kind of dies off as well, though they just played here in New York City recently. (my unborn child saw them live several months ago, heh) She's now born, b y the way. Oh and Detroit sounding stuff, Check out the Dirtbombs. Super lofi soul/punk hybrid with 2 drummers, 2 bassists and one guitar/vocalist. I love them. Also, check into Earl Greyhound.
My problem with Jet is they always sound like someone else. I'm surprised Iggy Pop didn't sue them over the rip-off on "Are You Gonna Be My Girl." Sounds just like Iggy's "Lust For Life." Another one of their songs sounded totally like the Beatles.
Yeah.. you essentially said the same about Wolfmother in this thread on how they sound like Billy Squire (also you can notice the Led Zep, Sabbath, Queens of the Stoneage in them as well).....
That doesnt necessarily signify that both Wolfmother and Jet arent worth listening to, because at least they pattern themselves after elite bands rather than that drawn-out BS we get from the likes of Nickelback....
Nor.. am I implying that Jet are revolutionaries.... Im just afraid still for the state of the music industry which is something I discussed a lot over the past couple years... there hasnt been that new genre/wave/movement (how ever you want to classify it)..... By 1996 Grunge was already fading.. 1986 the Hair Bands began to pick-up further steam... 1976 was when Disco had already past..1966 Psychedelia was in its infancy... Now... it's essentially nothing and it just really baffles/saddens me...
I'd agree to that to an extent. I think eventually somebody will come up with something new- just not now, and it probably won't be from America.
