Why be worried?

You like it or not, who cares if people wanna bag it for whatever reasons.

Bagging of music is egocentric bullcrap. It's all entertainment, except that some will entertain you more so than others.

Why?

Because i personally dont like Jet. I think they are average players (although i agree with Oxx that the dude has a pretty tidy throat on him), and not much better blokes (having played on a couple of bills with them at the Duke of Windsor before they had made "Get Born" - they were acting like rockstars long before they became them...). They are very ordinary live IMO and while they might be smart at writing simple, hook filled tunes that alot of people get into, i personally just dont get it. Get Born was so derivative it was embarrasing IMO.

I dont necessarily disagree with you on your "egocentric bullcrap" comment, but there is a difference between blindly bagging a band to be cool and sincerely not actually liking them.

That said, i can acknowledge growth in a band and i can acknowlegde a good tune or a good sound. I dunno if i'll be running out and buying Shine On, but like i mentioned i have suprised myself by not hating the stuff i have heard off it so far.

Oh, and music is alot more than just entertainment to some people champ.

When you posted that, you sounded like an elitist "MAINSTREAM SUX>>>>>LOLLzo00r!1!!" guy, but it sounded more tongue in cheek after you posted your follow up... well said and interesting thoughts :thumbsu:

As for Jet, I agree that Get Born was derivative (read: ripping off other bands) but I enjoyed the album at the time, it probably doesn't hold up as well now, even only 2 years later, but I still think there are some good tunes on there.

Have heard a few tracks off Shine On and it's not as impressive so far, except for the lead single which is great.
 
The first album had its merits but was overplayed.

The new album takes the merits of the first album, tears them to shreds and gives us an album of unadulterated derivative ****ery. The slow songs sound like Oasis C-sides and the fast songs sound like the fast songs off Get Born, just riffed in reverse and with even weaker hooks.

It's just a pathetic album.

Was thinking the same. I'll hate myself if I end up liking this.

I sold it on ebay 2 weeks after buying it... i even lost money on it

I wont be making the same mistake
 
Love the new album... it's Oasis/Beatles/Jet. I love the Beatles. Which is why I love Oasis. So that's why I love their new album.

Couldnt care less what anyone else thinks. The song Bring It On Back is freaking awesome.
