Jet, 'Shaka Rock' (Real Horrorshow/Five Seven)
Unapologetically retro, undeniably lunkheaded.

Jet’s third album, just like their second, is stuffed with swaggering, anthemic rock that you’ll swear someone else already wrote, which rarely compromises its appeal. “She’s a Genius” rejiggers the riff from “My Sharona” into a snarling rock blast; “Goodbye Hollywood” is the best cliché-smitten Stones rip-off you’ll hear this year; and the stuttering, infectious “Let Me Out” imagines the Replacements with their shit together. There’s plenty of groan-inducing lyrical inanity, and one can only assume the reggae-rock abomination “Beat on Repeat” was a misguided effort to branch out. Sometimes the middle of the road is the proper path.
Hi. While we have the gift of life, it seems to me that only tragedy is to allow part of us to die - whether it is our spirit, our creativity, or our glorious uniqueness. Help me! I can not find sites on the: Maxiglide ironsflat. I found only this - maxiglide straightner. Moon, the unification church and his science at the washington times, 401k investments advice.

Got something to say?
