Awesome band (y)
Check out Get Born. It'll change your life. It changed mine.
It's right up there with anything The Vines have ever done.

Decent mindless rehashed pop rock music but nothing more than that.

Jet are a great fucking band. Everyone raves about the Beatles, but they fail to realize that the Beatles totally ripped off Jet's Look What You've Done song. Jet are the true visionaries, stop riding the Beatles cock. (n)

This is sooooo last year.
And please, dont think Jet and the vines are indicative of the Australian rock scene right now. They cop as much, if not more, crap from Australians than you guys give them.

I actually enjoyed The Vines' first album, but I did NOT like their follow-up. Bleh. (n)

Poos.
Another band borrowing it's affectations. Makes me cringe.

you liked their first but not their second? ugh.
the only somewhat redeeming thing about them is some of my close friends were in their video with all the bands - in fact, they were featured a lot. the two skinny guys in a lot of the shots? my buddies. since fourth grade. (y)
p.s. hahahahaHAHAHAHAHA.

So you liked their second album? :confused:
"Highly Evolved" (it's called that, right?) had some decent, fun tunes. Obviously, they paled in comparison to the other "garage revival" bands (White Stripes, Strokes, Hives, Detroit Cobras, et al), but the album did its job.
At the very very least, they're better than Jet (who really really suck).
By the time of the second album, they wore themselves out, I found. That's my take.
P.S. - By any chance, is one of your good friends the dude who was shirtless and beating himself with a sneaker in the "Highly Evolved" music video (I think it was that one).

Yeah it was a solid 2.5 stars from me, compared to winning days which gets 0.5
Still, you guys wait a year, and all you'll be hearing from out of Australia is Wolfmother this and wolfmother that. Wolfmother. Write that name down. You think Jet and the Vines are derivative, these guys are essentially a cover band that writes its own material. Except the bands they are derivative of are so good (sabbath, zeppelin, queen among others) and they are so entertaining live, that they are actually worth a listen.
But there are better, more original bands here that deserve to be heard well before those guys. Wolf & Cub for one (not wolfmother!), Dallas Crane, Nightstick (with one of the guys from Regurgitator...some of you may know them), Rocket Science, cut copy, architecture in helsinki, british india, the ground components...all of these acts kick ass.

JET SUCKS. they always have, always will.
highly evolved? uh, i dunno. they're in the "ride with me" video and they're the two skinny effeminate guys gyrating all over the microphones.

Only like that Vines single, Jet is just some more money making crap bands that suck ass even at that. I fart in their general direction, I know retro is in but atleast be original about it.

I like them. They are an average, or slightly above average band. I don't go out of my way to listen to them much though.
ugh. they're just hairy skinny guys. i agree that there are waaayyy better aus bands at the moment. and let me re-iterate the wolfmother thing. they are everywhere and they rock.

But why listen to Wolfmother when Sabbath already did it properly?
Why do Australian bands sound like other bands?
The Spazzys sound like The Ramones, Jet sound like everybody, Wolfmother clearly sound like Black Sabbath.
I listen to some of these kids doing Mick Jagger pastiches on The Home and Hosed show, and I feel embarassed for them.
