The most imitated band in the history of rock has been oddly neglected by the international garage-rock revival. So the stage is set for the debut from Melbourne, Australia's Jet, a quartet that lives, dies and drinks to Exile on Main Street. This is perfectly fine when the band sticks to the sleazy, chunky-riffing likes of "Rollover D.J.," "Get Me Outta Here" and "Cold Hard Bitch," which packs a picture-perfect AC/DC whomp. But it's not so hot when Jet detour frequently into "Wild Horses" territory: Only the lovelorn "Look What You've Done" does the trick. Slavish imitation always works best when everyone is too busy rocking out to care.
