Music reviews of Greatest Hits
Music Review: How to end a contract
Rating: 4 Stars
There are three different reasons greatest hits albums are released:
(1) The band/artist wants to do a retrospective for the fans (Great example: Audio A's Adios);
(2) The band/artist left or was removed from a music label and needs to finish out a contract (great example of this is Jennifer Knapp who had a Best of, Rarities, and a live cd);
(3) The label or artist/band want to do a money grab and make a few extra bucks off of the hits (see all the special budget line CDs out there);
This collection seems like it was more of a contract fulfillment by the label than the band making a collection of hits for the fans. For those of you who don't know Jars of Clay recently split with Essential (owned by Sony/BMG) and is now with a new record label that they created called Gray Matters. Even though this appears to be a contract filler it has been given the endorsement by the band on their myspace page.
About the music:
This is an excellent concise collection of Jars of Clay hits and for the casual fan this would be all they need. The sound is great and they have most all of Jars of Clay's biggest hits and this will definitely be a CD I listen to frequently. I have two big problems with this collection though. The first is that it is missing "Liquid" from their first album. There is plenty of space left on this CD to have included it. It was one of their early big hits and definitely a fan favorite and it's exclusion is unforgivable. My other problem is that the record label only a few short months ago released Jars of Clay: The Essential Jars Of Clay. The "Essential" was a two disc collection that gathered some of the biggest hits and some great album tracks. One plus that "Greatest Hits" has over the "Essential" is that it includes to great hits "Faith Like a Child" and "Show You Love". As for the new track "Love is the Protest", it is a decent song recorded for this Greatest hits package. Though it isn't my favorite, in time it will probably grow on me.
There are hardly any greatest hits collections out there that can please everyone. Though it is missing "Liquid", in this digital age I have the track already and I can just make my own "Greatest Hits" from the tracks I have from this and "the Essential" so in the end everyone can be happy.
