Shine On

(Atlantic)

There are a lot of people who will blow a fuse upon reading this, but it has to be said: AC/DC are, and always have been, nothing more than a rubbish pub band; limited in ability - especially in the vocals department - and lacking the irony necessary to appeal to anyone beyond their core audience of thick yobs.

That said, however, fellow countrymen Jet's appropriation of AC/DC's two-chord bluster is actually quite entertaining.

Maybe it's because they don't wear sweaty sleeveless T-shirts or because they don't have a demented midget patronising us in a schoolboy's uniform. Who knows? But these Melbourne rockers have managed a second disc that takes their world-beating debut and gives it a twist.
