Immediately upon pressing play on veteren Garage rockers Jet's 3rd studio album "Shaka Rock" you are left wondering what's new?. There's plenty to enjoy but little too different from everything you've already heard ("Do You Wanna Be My Girl" is still one of the most often played songs on FM radio and that was their first single 2 albums ago). Songs like "La Di Da", and "She's A Genius" are fun anthem style tracks, with good sing along hooks and groove ridden riffs. "Seventeen" plays well, and "Goodbye Hollywood" has a quality hook to grab onto, however the rest of the album (8 songs) leaves little to be desired or adored. They are definately one of the best that copy cat cliche rock has to offer, but I wouldn't spend my lunch money on this album, MAYBE some of Grandma's annual $25 Christmas check...Why not?...I didn't earn it.

C's Teeny Tiny Opinion?? I think this CD is a bit drab and mundane. Sounds like... well, Jet! Same guitar, same beat, same "yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh" in the raspy voice. Goodbye Hollywood is pretty good though and I don't HATE She's A Genius but after listening to the lyrics I now know I can't be one of his girls. Lyrics for She's a Genius is:
"My girl's ready to take control
She just blows my mind
She only listens to the radio
To see waht's alive, yeah."
Per the theme of this blog, I don't know what a radio is. Dammit, I've always wanted to bone an Aussie.
