Photographer: Tao Ruspoli. Jet's third album, 2009's SHAKA ROCK, finds the band moving away from the ballad-heavy approach of previous album SHINE ON and reaching back to their debut, GET BORN, and its breakout single, "Are You Gonna Be My Girl," for inspiration. The band displays plenty of energy throughout on rockers like "Seventeen" and "She's a Genius," and takes a couple breathers (on ballads "Goodbye Hollywood" and "She Holds a Grudge") to give the album some variety.
Industry Reviews [I]ts high-energy guitar assaults should impress modern rock audiences.
4 stars out of 5 -- [W]ith an '80s revival in full swing, Jet are flying through hostile airspace. SHAKA ROCK avoids critical flak, however, by harnessing their Stones-age rock with a groovy undercarriage.
