Jars of Clay's new CD Good Monsters hit the shelves and iTunes this week and you need to buy it. This album will appeal to everyone and really Jars of Clay has always been able to do that.
I could give a song by song breakdown, but I won't. I want you to listen and discover for yourself. Though, I will say pay attention to the words. This album hits real issues where they make the feelings and that kind of stuff makes ya think.
Whenever I listen to Jars I always go back to thoughts of my first days as a Christian. The amazement of how good it can be and how far still I have yet to go. Love and peace I feel. It's a sentimental feeling because they are one of two bands that really got me into Christian music. The other being Third Day who kick started and has continued to fuel the whole ride. I remember the exact place I stood as I watched Jars of Clay perform at Universal Studios five years ago. A truly great experience. How time runs.
Do yourself a favor and get Good Monsters. It won't matter if you've never been to church on this one. It's just a great CD. All you church goers out there will enjoy it to:-)
