The Jars of Clay "Greatest Hits" is a Great cd. The songs they selected for the cd were awesome and make you want to hear more from them.
I purchased this product for my nephew for Christmas. He loves it. It arrived in a timely manner and It arrived in the condition reported.
Jars of Clay is a superb group with lots of great music. Sometimes when record companies issue 'best of' collections, one wonders what they were thinking. Additionally, there are a few that should not be on an album of this type.The songs that could have been left off are these: Frail, Crazy Times, and Love Is the Protest. This track clearly fails on that count.There are many songs that could have been included in this collection to make it better. If one does not already have most of the songs on this album, it is probably a good one to get. Although one might be able to make a case for the first two, there is no justification at all for the last of these.
Some of the songs that probably should have been on this include the following: Liquid, Jealous Kind, Sinking, Closer, Oh My God, Good Monsters, and Hiding Place. This is one of those times.Most of the songs are great, but this CD is missing several tunes that should be in it. A greatest hits collection for them could easily contain two discs. It is a new release. My thought is that anything appearing on a greatest hits album should have passed the test of time. I could also list several others that could have (should have) been here.The bottom line is that although this is a very good collection, it does not represent their greatest hits.
Otherwise, I'd pass on it.
I atcually purchased this cd for 2 songs, but realized I knew more than that once I listened to the whole thing.
Most of the songs on this CD are from JOC's debut album, which was released in 1995. This CD is a must for any Jars of Clay fan. All of JOC's best songs are on this disc. Their debut album to this day, is without a doubt the greatest christian rock album of all time. So if you are a fan of JOC, you MUST get this CD.
