Jet - Shaka Rock: Wikipedia Album Entry
In an interview with MTV's Ruby Rose on Channel 10's 7pm Project, it was said two unnamed tracks were recorded in Australia, one in Melbourne and one in Sydney.
The album was posted on August 20, 2009 on the band's MySpace page.
The record has been made 'Entertainment Weekly's Picks of The Week' for August the 23rd.
History
The band have been in the studio since 2008 working on the album. After touring was completed for their previous album, Shine On, the band took a short break. The album was originally thought to be released in late 2008 but a secret show was played in Melbourne in December 2008 only to debut new material. Various tracks that will be featured on the album were played at this concert including the first single "She's a Genius".
The track "K.I.A (Killed in Action)" was added to Jet's website in early April 2009. Altsounds.com first reported on the album in late April 2009 - drawing on information from the leaked press kit and providing the image of the album cover.
Singles
Although not confirmed as an official single, the song "K.I.A. (Killed in Action)" was uploaded to the band's official website. The first single from the album was confirmed to be the track "She's a Genius", which went to radio on 22 June and was available for free download at AOL Music on the same day for 24 hours.

Jet - Shaka Rock Lyrics
Jet - She's A Genius Lyrics
My girl's ready to take control, she just blows my mind
She only listens to the radio to see who's alive, yeah
She wakes up scared of getting old, she don't feel no shame
Jet - She Holds a Grudge Lyrics
She holds a grudge like no other woman I ever met before
Yeah, there are some tears, then after it's like a million years
Well, she comes around but I can't tell if she let herself be held
I gotta do something sometimes
Jet - La Di Da Lyrics
Let it come down, let it all come down
Get up, get in, get out
Do you have something to say?
Only you don't get to talk, not to me that way
Jet - Let Me Out Lyrics
I don't have all of your answers
I'm just takin' my chances as I see them
Someone get me home, every day I feel a little more alone
I see the looks on their faces, I don't feel the same
Jet - Black Hearts Lyrics
When I make it I'll be on time
Gonna take what I want and give you a piece of my mind
Your black heart's waited too long
Jet - K.I.A. Lyrics
I live in the middle of a combat zone
And I'm too scared to pick up the phone
I went to the market to fill up my heart
Now I'm in a coma state of the art
Jet - Start the Show Lyrics
Start the show
Running down the alleyway, stepping on the hearsay
No stopping what you can't stop, they tell me
Jet - Goodbye Hollywood Lyrics
I've been swallowed up, spat out and kicked around
You really know where you stand when it all comes down
They tried to clean me up while they cleaned me out
They try to take what they can but it all comes 'round
Jet - Beat On Repeat Lyrics
They got the beat on repeat, yeah, yeah
They got the beat on repeat, yeah, yeah
They got the beat on repeat, yeah, yeah
The beat on repeat
Jet - Walk Lyrics
Every time we walk down the moonlit mile
We don't have to walk down your company line
We got the wherewithal to walk without you all
We got the wherewithal to walk without you all
Jet - Times Like This Lyrics
Everything's just gone to hell
So I guess that I might as well
Feel the way I wanna feel
Jet - Seventeen Lyrics
I get back home at a quarter to four
What ya doin' with your keys inside my door?
Seventeen and you've never been here before
