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.

Izkid said it. I used to really love Christian music but don't like much of it anymore. Jars is still my favorite band. They seem to continue to grow better with every album. Who We Are Instead is still my favorite album with Good Monsters at a close second. Yeah their first album was great, but I just wish people could look past it. Some of the latter tracks on Eleventh Hour and Much Afraid are high points in their writing. Scarlet, The Edge of Water, Portrait of an Apology. Three of my favorite songs yet most people don't know about them.

v the only thing Frail can muster up to compete with JoC is the actual song "Frail". but even then, the version on MA is a lot better than the demo one. in every other way JoC is better imo.

I like the first album mainly for the songs "He" and "Art in Me". I'm more a fan of Much Afraid myself.
