Furthermore, there is also a clear mid 1990’s Oasis vibe about many tracks, which shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise since ‘Get Born’ was produced by Dave Sardy, who has previously worked with the Brits (as well as the likes of Wolfmother & Marilyn Manson). Their raw garage rock sound borrows from the likes of The Rolling Stones, AC/DC and even The Beatles. To get the topic over and done with, it is indeed fact that Jet sound very similar to a few bands from the past. Yet, how often do you see a critic be picky and choosy about what they include in a review? For example “Band C sucks because they rip off the vastly superior Band B”, yet no mention whatsoever is made of how Band B arguably sounds very similar to Band A. You know the debate I am talking about The one which asks whether or not albums can be liked and/or rated highly if they are clearly derivative of past musical releases. If there is any album which has been released over the past decade that gets “The Derivative Debate” going more than Australian band Jet’s debut ‘Get Born’, then I am unsure what that album is.
Derivative debut has a feel-good nature and pleasing strike rate of hits compared to misses which makes this album difficult to dislike.
