After more than 2 years since their last album release (besides the Closer EP), Jars of Clay is back with The Long Fall Back To Earth. This album, I believe, is truly their best as it picks up where Good Monsters left off. It’s one that will probably surprise naysayers that have brushed them off as a band floating around in a Christian music ghetto. For sure, The Long Fall Back To Earth shows this is the same talented band that surprised the music industry back when 90’s alternative rock dominated the scene. Only now they rock a little bit harder and really embrace a sound that’s influenced by 80’s music. The last few albums by Jars show that they like to pull out surprises in their musical bag of tricks. And this latest album has lots of good surprises. For older fans still not used to their new sound, give the album a few listens and really let it sink in. And for skeptical critics of their older sound, this album should make it loud and clear that this is not the same Jars of Clay you heard before.
The Long Fall Back To Earth comes out on April 21.
