"I discovered this band while watching "bluetorch tv" on fox sports net. I was immediately captivated by them. This is one fo those CD's where every track is listenable, and a few are just awesome. I reccomend it for good "middle of the road" listening. Not too hard, not too soft. Nice melodic rock, catchy lyrics, with an occasional edge. I REALLY wish they would come to America, but not bloody likely!!Also, check out their website: superjesus.com.au"

"If you're looking for the music that gets through to you - look no further! Jet Age is a strange mix of powerful and creative guitar riffs with beautiful and touching vocals. A true follower of the great Ausie music legacy. A definate MUST HAVE!"
Decent follow-up to "Sumo" by Aussie band Superjesus

""Sumo" and "Sumo II" with the extra goodies were great CD's, and "Jet Age" almost succeeds on the same level. Gone is Chris Tennant, guitarist and songwriter from the first record, and his input is sorely missed. But Sarah McLeod's vocals are still as strong as ever, and she delivers the new material well. It is tough to find good new rock bands anymore because of all the drivel that gets shoved down our throats and in our ears by the record labels and their BoyBands du jour. But Australia comes through for us again! Like what you hear with this band? Give a listen to Mourning Widow's CD "Furnished Souls For Rent", the new CD featuring Nuno Bettencourt, former Extreme axe-man (and husband of Suze DeMarchi, the former lead singer of Baby Animals -- perhaps the best rock band out of Australia in years!!)"
Excellent

"Although I've given it five stars, this album isn't as good as sumo, but who cares? It is still streaks ahead of many second albums that have proved disappointing from lesser bands. I am a die hard Superjesus fan and am very VERY glad they have returned to form despite the loss of Chris Tennant on the lead guitar. Lyrically, Sarah seems to have made use of the hard times that the band went through from losing Tennant (and this is one band that sure has overcome some tough times in the past, amazing how they keep there sense of humour) and turned those emotions into great songs. And damn can that woman sing! The heavy crunch of Sumo isn't there, but otherwise the Superjesus sound is retained without a scratch and Tim Henwood fills Chris Tennant's shoes quite well. The guitars are still booming and the tunes range from catchy (Gravity, Over to You) to emotion charged (In Harm's Way, When i tell you in the End) balanced with the great rock middle ground that make the superjesus so compelling.This is an excellent second album from the Adelaide superband, and is a must for all rock fans."
Wow- what an album. Makes me a proud aussie
