"Like Blake sings in 'Little Light,' are the Jets drowning in melodrama? I understand that a fiercely poetic side is being shown more and more in Blake's songs, and perhaps it's the old Jawbreaker fan coming out in me, but I did not enjoy this album as much as their first. I think Blake must have been in love when he made this one; however, despite the serious and nascent mellowness that comes out in much more use of the keyboard, there are some wonderful songs--Orange Rhyming Dictionary, Your X-rays, Pale New Dawn, Mid-Day Anonymous, a few others. A new side to the Jets emerges with each song in this album, as there is no burning and raw edge like "Morning New Disease" on Four Cornered Night, but hey, I guess the pristine vision of the artist (Your X-rays) is always changing. A good album if you enjoy the great baritone of Blake, but for first timers, be warned--this may not be what you were expecting."

"In the small, remote town I live in, the only music you'll ever hear is on MTV. I never knew music could sound like this. I'd never heard anything indie at all, and nothing that wasn't on the radio. I heard about Jets To Brazil though EVE6, who sing there praises constantly. I picked up "Orange Rhyming Dictionary" and instantly fell in love. The jet's second album is pure bliss. This is the CD that sealed my fate as a musician. On some tracks, like Milk and Apples and Your x-rays it is impossible to sit still. little light is a song that will be stuck in your head until next may. This album is dark and catchy. What's great is the Jets accessibility. You can sing along to this! The lyrics are thoughtful and emotional. The music is lush and full, incorporating cellos and keyboards among other sounds to round it out.The first three songs are good but after that this album really picks up speed. It is not the same ole same ole. You'll be left in awe."

Moving on..

"Orange Rhyming Dictionary is a great album, but Four Cornered Night is even better.. In my opinion, this album brings out the true personality of Jets to Brazil. Brian (the "new" addition)completed this band and brought to the second album the essential elements that the first one was lacking. Forget what disgruntled Jawbreaker fans have to say.. I am a loyal Jawbreaker fan.. but guess what, folks.. this is NOT JAWBREAKER.. they never will be, and that's not a bad thing. Get over it already. I strongly suggest you see this band live, they put on a great show, and seeing them live will bring a new perspective to the album that you can't get otherwise.
