Getting Better

Jars of Clay's fourth studio album finds the band in yet another new setting as their creativity leads them to another sound different from all previous recordings. Focusing more on their roots, The Eleventh Hour is very much an acoustic album. Songs like "Something Beautiful," "Scarlet," "These Ordinary Days," "The Edge of Water" and "Silence" are all very well written, but I find them hard to listen to. They are just so slow. You keep wanting to kick them in the backside and get them going, you know? Songs that save this album include "I Need You," "Whatever She Wants" and the breakout beat driven song, "Revolution," which is musically their best endeavor yet. As much as I continue to enjoy their music, I still wish that they would pick up the pace a little and focus on a style that is great to listen to other than at the "eleventh hour" of the night.
