Jars of Clay is a popular Christian alternative pop group. The group’s sound has varied over the years as the band has experimented with pop, folk, rock, trip-hop, gospel, and hymnsong. Its self-titled album featured layered acoustic guitars over programmed trip-hop beats. “Flood” was the band’s biggest crossover hit, and hit #37 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 12 on the Modern Rock charts.
The following albums saw large shifts in style. Much Afraid saw them releasing gorgeous -sometimes brittle- pop music, while If I Left the Zoo is a quirkier but musically brilliant album, featuring considerably more keys and experimentation. The Eleventh Hour is their first true “rock” album. They returned to acoustic guitars for the “Furthermore” project, which featured two EPs - a live disc and an acoustic disc. The band’s 5th album, Who We Are Instead continued some of the band’s earlier sonic experiments and showcased some new gospel, bluegrass, and hymnsong influences. The hymnsong approach was continued on an album of new arrangements of classic hymns - Redemption Songs.
Good Monsters was released on Sept. 05, 2006. The album was hailed by CCM Magazine as “Album of the Year” - a controversial move considering that this announcement was made in August.

TBarlass, I actually agree. It's probably my least favorite album of theirs, to be honest.

"Boys (Lesson One)" is gorgeous. Great new album.

I totally disagree, and I actually don't get the lovefest everyone has for their debut.

I wouldn't give it a 5/5 but it is a pretty cool album. I just hope Jars of Clay get a bit less contemporary and a bit weirder next album, although that's pretty unlikely. I'd say the new one merits 4/5, and it's easily their best/most consistent since their debut.

↓ well, i do that too. but the only other JoC album that's got 5/5 there is the debut album. just comparing. plus, i agree with them. ^^

generally i'd take christian review sites' opinions with a grain of salt. Compared with the rubbish they're generally faced with, it's no surprise that they're raving about it. Definitely secular media gives a more accurate opinion of the album.

I'm really disappointed with the new album. I'm missing the americana vibe of Who We Are Instead.
