Jesus Jones - Doubt (R$ 12,00)

Doubt (R$ 12,00)

Jesus Jones' best album, Doubt, benefits greatly from Mike Edwards' improved songwriting, as well as a better idea of how to effectively fuse guitar-rock with samples and dance-club beats that hint at techno. 

There are slips in both areas -- a few songs float past without ever making an impression, and some of the fusions sound rather forced and arbitrary. 

But those moments are outweighed by the ample portions of the album that do work; the album's title is belied by the giddy optimism of the catchy number two hit, and best song here, "Right Here, Right Now," and other singles like "Real, Real, Real," "International Bright Young Thing," and the B-side "I'm Burning" are nearly as good. 

Easily the high point of the band's career.
