About this album

Elektra Records (2003) Released: 7 Oct 2003 13 tracks (51:26)
Get Born is the 2003 debut album by Australian rock band Jet which, as of November 2006, has sold 3.5 million copies throughout the world.


Making of the album
Jet entered the Sunset Sound Studios in Los Angeles with Dave Sardy to produce their debut album Get Born. Sardy had previously produced records for Marilyn Manson and the Dandy Warhols. The band left the recording studios halfway through recording the album to fly back to support the Rolling Stones on their 2003 Australian tour.

“Are You Gonna Be My Girl?”, from this album, was voted number one in the 2003 Triple J Hottest 100. Get Born also has a song, “Timothy,” dedicated to guitarist Cameron Muncey’s brother, who died when he was a baby. The track “Radio Song” was written about when they were an unsigned band in Melbourne seeking attention, and “Rollover DJ” was written about the difficulty they encountered when trying to play gigs because of the takeover of dance music.

The title of the album, “Get Born” comes from a line in Bob Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues”.


Reception
The album was praised and criticised for being derivative of many classic rock artists such as The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and AC/DC.

However, in an Allmusic review of “Are You Gonna Be My Girl”, the song was praised for its immediate appeal despite its resemblance to “Lust for Life”, saying “Whether ‘Are You Gonna Be My Girl?’ (sic) is creatively bankrupt, or just an extreme example of how all music is influenced by what came before it, is up for debate.

    Awesome album. I like it quite a bit more than Shine On-Get Born is much more hard rock, which is the best JET I think
