Jesus Jones - Doubt

Jesus Jones - Doubt
1991 SBK Records/Food Records
5 Stars

Jesus Jones succeeds with something that normally sends off red lights and alarms in my head and still made it work. Jesus Jones took alternative/indie rock threw in dance beats and a bit of techno and made something kind of wonderful. The songs on this album are what really brings this all together the lyrics are not just throw away dance songs they work without the dance beats. These songs would sound wonderful done acoustically or just straight rock versions but the added techno dance elements are not annoying and allow for a good dance party . . . an indie dance party.

The entire album is great with one huge hit Right Here, Right Now taking them to number 2 on the charts. You’d do well to seek out this album out songs to start with International Bright Young Thing, Right Here Right Now, Welcome Back Victoria, Trust Me, Blissed and Real, Real, Real.

If you like Jesus Jones you may want to check out Plan B, EMF and Pop Will Eat Itself.
