By now, everyone should know “Are You Gonna Be My Girl”, the big hit song with the big riffs, powerhouse melodies and greasy vocals, but there are plenty of other songs on this CD that rock. Take “Rollover D.J”, for example; a booze-fueled rock song full of chunky riffs, melodic drums (how rare is that today?) and sensational, soulful vocals. “Get What You Need” is another rockin’ song in the same vein as the Rolling Stones, as far it’s balance between rockin’ out and down-home rhythm and blues. While tracks such as “Cold Hard Bitch” are full of the testosterone driven stomp of AC/DC.

Get Born isn’t without a few soft, tender offerings though. There is “Look What You’ve Done”, for instance. An emotive acoustic piece that features delicate vocals and melancholy pianos, it’s a nice break from the ‘whomp and stomp’ of the rest of the CD. The outro, “Timothy” is a similar styled song that’s soft enough to ease us to the end, but edgy and dissonant enough not to lull us to sleep.

So, that’s Jet. They aren’t original (then again, how many bands, today, are original?), but they’ve done a darn good job at reviving, in a sense, a type of rock n’ roll that’s been wrongfully kicked by the wayside by many contemporary artists. In my opinion, the musicianship heard in much of classic rock n’ roll is superior to that of most contemporary material. Jet proves that such talent still exists. Really outta sight, man. Really outta sight.
