This was a band which rode upon the popularity of their MTV exposure and their reference to the Berlin Wall coming down in "Right Here, Right Now." It's pretty obvious that all the production went into that one song, with the intention of making climbing the charts and gaining popularity on that song, while the rest of the album was released as filler so that the clueless public would spend more money on an album. If you liked the song, get the single. This album isn't worth getting, unless you can get it for under a dollar.

Or better yet, just save your money for some else, something better.

do recall that around 1991 if i'm not badly mistaken- head buccaneer Mike Edwards and team took an award from the Grammys by the time when this album came out for best new performance, presented by the ever lovable (and a turn-off too-flirty somewhat) Jennifer Connely, which when Mike sorta took a no-notice approach at all taking the trophy from the said chick (really cool) he went saying something like, "Thanks... Recieving this award for a best new act, I think i kinda like the sound of that." quite with a little touch of sarcasm a bit when JESUS JONES have been around for quite some years already at the time.
So much for my side-comment - here i go with my review=
Before there ever were the current popular electronic music of The Chemical Brothers, Moby, and (ex-HOUSEMARTINS/BEATS INT'Ls member project) FAT BOY SLIM-- the sound of this band is already embarking a crusade amongst college radio stations and both the good underground and bumblegum dance houses by the birth of the 90's. Somewhat the pioneers of modern day techno-rock, the band are obviously slighted upon and are dictated as one among the so-called one-shot wonders in the shallow popular mainstream industry, suffering the band a great deal of underatedness. And as if it weren't enough- mainstream music industry even have labeled them compared along with the preposterous E.M.F.! How redundant. However, this sophomore album of the band carries the radio college hit "ibyt-Int'l Bright Young Thing", the universal-question echoing "Who? Where? Why?", and "Real Real Real", which have also peeped into the popular music charts. And of course, it too have their most popular and yet at the same time accursed single "Right Here Right Now", a song which instantly hails the hopeful events during in the time of the Berlin Wall's fall- which catapulpted them into mainstream recognizion upon the time of its release; and yet have come about to pull the plug away from them after that momment as if suggested by the song's title itself. Garnished with a frenzy of noise barrage, melodic rock, subtle pop sound, and even at times with a little pint of faint goth, the album Doubt is in a way wanting to penetrate subconsciously into an attempt of conquering the listener through a seeming passage of subliminal textures. But then again that may only be my opinion. Preferably go get the 13-trk japanese special edition cd, got my copy of this album on tape, and am about to relieve it now with it.
Other impressive tracks in the album are: the opener "Trust Me" (which contains sample from the hillarious tv cop-commedy siries SLEDGEHAMMER), "I'm Burning" (say is it a vindictive cry towards God?), "Welcome Back Victoria", and "Are You Satisfied" (which appears in every release, except for the bastardised tape copy release that i have- and hell no it ain't pirated.)

Rate: 7 out of 10

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.
