Who thought it would happen? I for one certainly had Jet’s brief popularity pegged as a one album affair. They return now in 2006 with ‘`Shine On’`. The rock and roll cliché title is all you need to know about this release. This is an album which is musically and lyrically full of clichés. The riffs have all been heard before, the lyrics feel as if they have been written from the DK Big Book of Rock and Roll Lyrics rather than songs that have actually been written about anything. However, there are many people who will enjoy this record for that very reason. Background music is exactly what this record is; there simply isn’t anything here to hold the interest of any real music fans and it’s for pop enthusiasts only. I’m not condoning those amongst the masses who will enjoy this, but I can’t endorse such rock and roll by numbers.
