I like this album. that's not to say it's the best thing EVER, but it's very enjoyable and fun. Good rock-n-roll music to get your heart pumping. Great for in the car. It's true there is nothing new here, but since when is that a bad thing? If you're looking for some good old fashioned rock music to entertain you, then this CD is for you. I would definitely stay away from their follow-up album, though. It is extremely boring and akin to elevator music. ...

With their debut album Get Born, Jet became one of the better selling rock acts of 2003 and 2004.

And I know what you're thinking too: "what's wrong with that, Matt? what's so bad about Jet?"

You know, I could sell 2 million records too if I took a bunch of songs by classic artists, changed up some minor things, came up with some new (lame) lyrics, and recorded it. You see, that's all Get Born is. Are You Gonna Be My Girl is the most obvious ripoff ever of Iggy Pop's Lust For Life. Look What You've Done sounds like a bad John Lennon outtake. Cold Hard Bitch sounds like AC/DC if AC/DC somehow had their testicles...
