3.0 out of 5 stars
Those were the days., September 22, 2003
This review is from: Doubt (Audio CD)
During a time in which I listened mostly to "Ministry" and the "Red Hot Chili peppers", I still squeezed in a little "Jesus Jones". I have to admit, this is an album that I only play once or twice a year, but once it's in I love it. I really think this is better than most people think it is. The songs "International Bright Young Thing" and "Real, Real, Real" are just a couple songs on a mostly good album. Any fan of "The Soup Dragons" or "Happy Mondays" should like "Doubt". If nothing else, it's fun to crank "Right Here, Right Now", and pretend it's the early 90's again.

10 years later, and I'm still listening..., January 26, 2002
This review is from: Doubt (Audio CD)
This album, alongside Faith No More's "Real Thing" and the KLF's "White Room" shaped the majority of my record collection in the decade since. There was something special about the way samplers and sequencers were used back in the early 90's which most rock acts don't understand fully... that the song dictates what sounds and samples are to be used, for example the screaming backwards bullets in the punkish opener "Trust Me," the fire and car crashes of the industrial "Stripped", the sitar in "International Bright Young Thing," and perhaps coolest and most original pairing of samples, a John Lee Hooker harmonica riff merging with Middle Eastern psychedelia in "Who Where Why." Additionally, this is one of those albums where every song could have been a single-- no filler whatsoever. Do yourself a favor and get an often-overlooked piece of rock history.

Jesus Jones goes mainstream, December 26, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Doubt (Audio CD)
Mike Edwards is by far the most creative European musician to be named after David Bowie. "Doubt" is Mike E going more mainstream. You can find their infamous smash hit "Right here, right now" on it. When their first album "Liquidizer" was released the critics considered it as one of the best debut albums for years. "Doubt" is never out of time and it should never be missed on a party. If you're just not into mainstream like me, then check their 3rd album out, named "Perverse". Their latest record so far "Already" is awesome too. www.jesusjones.com
