Review: Jet
Jet 'Shine On': Aidin Vaziri | After spending most of last year on the road with Oasis, Jet confirms with its second album that it's never a good idea to spend too much time hanging around the Gallagher brothers. With "Shine On," the sloppy heavy metal riffs of the Australian band's breakthrough 3.5-million selling debut, "Get Born," are mostly chucked in favor of plodding psychedelic melodies, dreary strings and weighty songs that require far more brains than the hairy quartet has to offer. It doesn't help that producer Dave Sardy (who also happened to oversee Oasis' last album, "Don't Believe the Truth") makes everything sound as if it were recorded through cellophane, or that songs such as "Rip It Up" and "Come On Come On" rarely live up to their primal rock 'n' roll titles. Jet, they've practically turned into the Vines.
