"Yes yes, Jet, we all know that Lust For Life is a great song, but those of us with enough sense to actually go out and buy an Iggy Pop/Stooges album can do without this rip-off. Honestly, would it be THAT hard to just change the bass-line a bit or something so it wouldn't be such a blatant imitation? What's next, Search & Destroy?"

Simply Refreshing

"When it really comes to music these days, there is really no backbone to what should actually stand out. That just sometimes surprises me with newer acts out there. Jet, is one of those newer acts right now. Their U.S. debut single, Are You Gonna Be My Girl?, from their U.S. debut record, Get Born, is actually quite refreshing within itself. Although as it begins, it sounds quite repetitive to an Iggy Pop song at the very beginning. Still, the song does quickly catch on with its feel. Arguably, it does seem a little out of place from the beginning, but does actually catch on very well once you get used to it. Although many aren't still familiar with Jet, they do have some growth, but a very catchy beat within Rock N' Roll."
