Shine On (Jet album)

NME first reported in June 2006 that the tracks "L'Esprit d'Escalier", "Holiday", "Hey Kids" (for the US version only), "Shiny Magazine", "Eleanor", and "All You Have to Do" were set to appear on the album.{{cite web |title=Jet reveal all about new album |date=22 June 2006 |work=NME |publisher=IPC Media (Time Inc.) |accessdate=18 July 2006 |url=https://www.nme.com/news/jet/23403}} "Hey Kids" was released on the Elektra soundtrack but the band liked it so much, they revived it for this album. "Rip It Up" was originally titled "Nothing to Lose", and images of the work in progress lyrics can be viewed in the "Shine On" teaser video that was released in August 2006, along with lyrics for "Don't Worry Baby".

Australian newspaper Herald Sun described the following tracks prior to the release of Shine On:{{Citation needed|date=February 2007}}

• "All You Have to Do": {{cquote|The album will open and close with a track currently titled "All You Have to Do". It was a difficult song to finish because we were trying to find the answer to the question and everything sounded cheesy.}}
• "Eleanor": "Eleanor" sounds like it's from the '40s.
• "King's Horses": There's one track, "King's Horses", which is this nursery rhyme which talks a bit about the bitterness we felt over the past two years.
• "Shiny Magazines": And there's "Shiny Magazines" which has the Phil Spector vibe.
• "Shine On": The song "Shine On" was written by Nic to comfort his family after his father's death. "It was inevitable I would write a song that dealt with all of that, but it was almost too big a subject for me to handle", Nic says. "Then I got a phone call from my mum saying everyone was fucked so I wrote the song through Dad's eyes, what he would say to help everyone through. We recorded it in one take, but it was fucking emotional, very heavy. We couldn't be happier with this album".

The album debuted at No. 3 on the Australian ARIA Albums chart the week of 8 October 2006 and became the fiftieth-highest selling album for 2006, and was certified platinum (70,000 units shipped).{{cite web|title=Shine on goes platinum|url=http://www.ariacharts.com.au/pages/charts_display.asp?chart=1A50}} It also debuted and peaked at No. 13 on the Official UK Top 75 Albums Chart and No. 16 on the Billboard 200, but quickly fell out of the top 100 within four weeks.

As of 2007, the album has sold 137,000 copies in the United States.{{Cite web |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=rhMEAAAAMBAJ&q=jet+get+born+billboard&pg=PA8 |title=Premature Platters |work=Billboard|date=17 February 2007 |accessdate=9 September 2020}} As of 2012, Shine On and Shaka Rock have sold 212,000 copies combined in the United States.{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/498773/jet-breaks-up|title=Jet Breaks up|magazine=Billboard}}

Critical reaction to the album was mixed. British music magazine NME, for instance, called the record "another joyfully old-fashioned rock 'n' roll album immersed in the classics",{{cite web |url=https://www.nme.com/reviews/jet/8037 |title=Jet: Shine On |last=McNamee |first=Paul |work=NME |date=29 September 2006 |accessdate=6 July 2012 }} while AllMusic gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5 as a solid if undistinguished second effort.

The American review site Pitchfork posted a review containing only a video clip of a chimpanzee urinating into its own mouth, along with a score of 0.0 out 10. The review was widely shared and helped popularise Pitchfork.{{cite web |last=Rogers |first=Nate |date=2 April 2024 |title=The Ballad of Ray Suzuki: The Secret Life of Early Pitchfork and the Most Notorious Review Ever 'Written' |url=https://www.theringer.com/music/2024/4/2/24118331/pitchfork-jet-review-monkey-piss-ray-suzuki |access-date=2 April 2024 |website=The Ringer}}

In 2024, the Pitchfork editor Scott Plagenhoef said the writers had felt that Shine On represented the way rock music had "curdled into a set of lazy signifiers and posers". He said: "Progression—whether it was in hip-hop, pop, guitar music, electronic music—was important to us at the time. Seeing mainstream rock music, which of course most of us had grown up with a fondness for, become so knuckle-dragging and Xeroxed was disappointing." They felt it would be a waste of time to write a conventional review, and so conceived something "metaphorical and dismissive" and site editors attributed the non-review to collective pseudonym "Ray Suzuki".

Porter Robinson references the Pitchfork review in the lyrics of his 2024 song "Russian Roulette," as part of the song's commentary on the fickle nature of fame and critical reception. The song's accompanying album, Smile! :D, received a score of 7.1 from Pitchfork.{{cite web |last=Joyce |first=Colin |date=26 July 2024 |title=SMILE! :D: Porter Robinson |url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/porter-robinson-smile/ |access-date=6 October 2024 |website=Pitchfork}}
