Jet Generation is a studio album by the Japanese rock band Guitar Wolf.[4][5] It was released in Japan on January 21, 1999, and in the U.S. on June 22, 1999.

The album is labeled with a disclaimer sticker which 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".[6]

Critical reception[]

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."[7] 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."[8] CMJ New Music Report deemed the album "raw, rebellious and sonically nihilistic."[9]
