A rather interesting take on Jars of Clay's musical journey, called "Not Cool, Thank God," has been posted at newsreview.com:

"Lately, no band does fragile better than Jars of Clay—and really, that’s remarkable in the world of Christian rock. This music, as a rule, is most welcoming to sentiments of the sunshine, lollipops and rainbows variety. Despair, uncertainty and frailty are not in. But the Jars runneth over with it."

Sophomoric humor aside (the article's subtitle is "Jars of Clay discovers that trying too hard makes baby Jesus cry"), it's a relatively well thought-out article. Go check it out.

Special thanks to patty at the Jarchives forum for giving us the heads up.
