| | Sounds Like | "If a band that has one foot in '80s Minneapolis and the other in Nova Scotia, Canada circa 1993 sounds appealing to you, then by golly, L.A.'s Ready the Jet fit the bill, dead-on. If anything, RTJ will make you a little wistful for the time when Hüsker Dü and Dino Jr. ruled college airwaves. Leave it to front man Matt Brooks to make certain that the precise amount of crunch, feedback, and sweet melodicism courses through the vein of every inspired track that lends itself to this excellent 38 minutes."
