Product Description
From Amazon.com
Touted by some as Christian music's answer to The Rembrandts, this Nashville four-piece delivers artful, acoustic-based rock. Shipped in to produce two tracks, Adrian Belew captures the band's sweet intensity and clean melodies on "Flood and Liquid," which features a jaw-dropping Gregorian chant sample. --Jeff Bateman

Boom, Boom, Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom, SNAP!
July 1 2004
Format:Audio CD
How long can a synth drum beat boom if a boom could chick chick boom? Unable to afford a $100 drum kit, Jars of Clay decided that it'd be best to self-produce all but 2 of the songs on this album and I can't say I agree with that decision. "Liquid" and "Flood" reflect the social atmosphere of the world with bands like Nine Inch Nails (same producer) and Pearl Jam at their prime. Well mixed, well played and well performed, these two songs are what attracted me to Jars' sound and have made me a fan since '96. But the other lyrically AMAZING and HORRIBLY produced songs on this album leave a bad taste in the mouth. After listening to "Like a Child", "Art in Me", "He" and "Boy on a String" you are going to despise two things. First, the idea of over-dubbing inaudible little children's voices and that stupid crappy synth beat. As a Jars fan, it makes me cry to think of the potential these four songs could have if decently recorded. When the drum beat kicks in on "He", you just pretty much give up. It's not until "Worlds Apart" do you hear the chance that this band is more than just special. As one of the all time best songs in my life, "Worlds Apart" sneaks in and Stairway to Heavens us to death, it's breath taking. In all, this is a debut album that marks an important journey for Jars. If you don't mind a good old bumpin while listening to an album, I highly recommend it.

From Christians to Buddhists
April 13 2004
Format:Audio CD
Jars of Clay could very well be the most famous of all Alternative CCM bands. And this album is their best yet. The beginnig song, Liquid, is sure to become a favorite among everyone, not just Christian fans, Flood is a personal favorite of mine, and Blind/Four Seven ends the album with a bang, leaving listeners yearning for more. With a lineup like this, it's no wonder that Jars of Clay has become the most popular in their industry. From Christians to Buddhists, everyone will enjoy the sound of Jars of Clay. Even if you're an atheist, you should still pick up this album. That's how good it is.

I'm JEWISH and I love this album!!!
Nov 9 2003
Format:Audio CD
Let me first state that I am Jewish and I think this is one of the most beautiful cds I have ever heard. Of course the lyrics aren't really for me... but the music and the singing and the musicianship is incredible. Amazing band. Recommended for anyone who loves awesome music, even if you're not Christian.

A++++
This album is absolutely great. I remember listening to it on tape when we were kids. I recently remembered it and aside from the nostalgia, the sound is goosebump inspiring. Read more
