It's been three years since Jet's corker of a debut album, Get Born, saw the light of day. Back then, riding the crest of hype, the Aussie four-piece created a name for themselves as purveyors of seriously no-nonsense rock and roll.

Shine On pretty much takes up where Get Born left off, but with some added dimensions. If anything it's actually a more bluesy, funky affair, with hints of their idols - Oasis and the Stones - aplenty. The Aerosmith-sounding Stand Up, the Faces-like Skin And Bones and Captain Beefheart-esque swamp rock of Holiday are all typical of the slightly new direction.

Unlike compatriots like Wolfmother, Jet do not sound like they are taking themselves terribly seriously. The only time things get a tad heavy - emotionally - is the lighter-waving title track, apparently dedicated to the Cester brothers' dead father.

They say that while the first album was written for pubs, the new one was written for stadiums, and one can see arms being held aloft when they play the title track from this one.
