Jars Of Clay This EP comes nearly on the heels of Jars Of Clay's latest full-length album, Good Monsters. While all of the songs featured on this EP can be found on that album, this EP is still good. Live Monsters...
Strong melodies | Posted July-19-2007
I have one word: Impressive! (OK, I have more than one word now.) I am impressed with this band's worshipful lyrics and their great sound. The band's lead singer, Leeland Mooring, has a unique voice. Songs like "Too Much" and "Carried to the Table" are easy to relate to. "Sound of Melodies" a worshipful offering to God, and "Tears of the Saints", a plea for unbelievers to find Him, both ring true. Other songs show an honest, tenderhearted take on worshiping God. Long story short: you can't help but find yourself singing along to this album. Five stars!
Godspeed, indeed! | Posted August-23-2007
Cities a good improvement over Anberlin's last album. It shows that Anberlin has grown as a band--with tighter lyrics and a newer sound. This has my seal of approval. "Godspeed", getting things to a strong start, will probably be the most well-known song on the tracklist, but quieter songs like the acoustic "Unwinding Cable Car" [one of my favorites] and "Inevitable" are not to be overlooked. "A Whisper and Clamor" is another favorite of mine. Lyrically, some of the songs touch on darker subjects, but this album still seems to have a "there's always a silver lining" attitude to it. This album's artistry is better than ever, though an acquired taste for some. "Fin" showcases a very epic feel. Anberlin is continuing to prove that they are not to be underestimated as a band. I would recommend this album to those who are fans of any of their previous works... and new future fans too!
