Jet Generation is the sixth studio album by Japanese rock band Guitar Wolf.[2] [3] It was released in Japan on 21 January 1999 and in the U.S. on 22 June 1999.
The album is labeled with a disclaimer sticker that semi-humorously states, "Warning: this is the loudest album ever recorded. Playing at normal volume may cause irreparable damage to stereo equipment. Use at your own risk". It includes a cover of Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues".[4]
Exclaim! wrote that "while so many other great bands dry up or go soft over time, it's great to hear Guitar Wolf pounding it out like it's still their first rehearsal".[5] The Village Voice declared that "Guitar Wolf are a regular (albeit mildly psychotic) guitar-bass-drums rock band, who excel at the most primal sort of no-frills trash-rock".[6] CMJ New Music Report deemed the album "raw, rebellious and sonically nihilistic".[7]
