Jars of Clay

I actually got their first 3 albums at the same time from a friend and I liked their later two more than this one. But once I developed a liking for them in general I was able to go back to this one and appreciate it for what it is. If this is your first taste of JoC I would recommened When I Left the Zoo or Much Afraid.

This is a wonderful album at a great price. If you like J.O.C. make sure you have this one.

I was given this album years ago and loved it. Must have lost it when I moved so did the search and ordered this one. I love this album and it arrived on time in good packaging

Excellent

Jars of Clay took the Christian music industry by storm in 1995 when they burst onto the scene with this CD. Everyone was listening to it and talking about it. Being a leader who loves to be ahead of the trends...I bought the CD earlier this year.Ok, ok, so I'm stubborn. I willingly admit I was an idiot for not getting this CD sooner. It's great! The combination of stringed instruments into a rock sound is worth the price alone. But the lyrics are great. Heartfelt and poetic, they take several listenings and some thought to understand, unlike most music out there today. Personally, I'm drawn to the helplessness apart from God of "Like a Child," the prayer of submission of "Worlds Apart," and the reliance (and fun) of "Flood."Every song here in enjoyable. I wish I'd gotten it sooner so I could have enjoyed it longer. I'm certainly going to give their other CD's a try.
