Where did Jars of Clay go?
August 18, 2004
Reviewer:
Anonymous from PA |
"Much Afraid" seemed to start the decline of Jars of Clay from original accoustic rock into artsy techno folk rock. "If I Left the Zoo" is the low point of that decline. "Sad Clown" and "Goodbye, Goodnight" just do not sound like the original Jars of Clay one bit. On the bright side, the song "No One Loves Me Like You" is an inspirational ballad in the vein of "Worlds Apart," "Hymn," and "Love Song for a Savior," all from previous releases. Not a bad buy, but check out other Clay CDs first.

disappointing
November 19, 2004
Reviewer:
Derek from CA |
Their first CD was a masterpiece and their second CD was a decent follow-up...then the wheels came off. By and large, their lyrics have devolved into an unseemly brand of poetry and is undecipherable probably to the poet himself. Where are the clear spiritual messages? The sweet melodies? Anything? I am very diappointed that Jars has deviated from their proven skill of ministry-oriented music and lowered themselves to emo/pointless banality. There's nowhere to go but up after this album.

Moving in a new direction ...

Jars of Clay moves into a new musical direction with "If I Left The Zoo", their third studio album. There are some really great tracks on this album with a lot of spiritual meaning (Grace, Can't Erase It, Unforgetful You), love (No One Loves Me Like You, Hand), plus songs to just plain rock out to (Collide, I'm Alright).
Jars of Clay always writes deep, thoughtful lyrics - sometimes you need to listen to the album closely in order to catch the meaning behind them.

good album

their guitar-leaden rock style has made Jars of Clay one of a kind band. The sound that the band develops in this album parhaps is a little diferrent, but is still good. I like the songs: "No one loves me like You" and "unforgettable You".
