Jars of Clay - The long fall back to earth
Posted: May 1st, 2009, 12:27 pm
I thought I would give my thoughts on this new release for those of you who like Jars.
I just picked this up yesterday, and my first couple of listens have me believing this may be their best yet. I love "If I left the Zoo" but this one may be close to rivaling it. It still sounds very typical Jars, but it has some seriously new sounds mixed in. They have matured musically over the years clearly. I can't stop listening to it. My favorite is "Heaven" followed by "Closer" and "Boys (lesson one).
Here is an interview with the boys on the theme of the release:

There are a few clips from the album on their Myspace page but not my favorite: http://www.myspace.com/jarsofclay
