good album April 3, 2006
                       Reviewer: Anonymous from Xela

This sophomore album of Jars of Clay is good but the sound it´s different from the one before. The aptly titled Much Afraid is a sensitive record that further explores the unique Jars Of Clay sound. My favorite song: Overjoyed


Still Beautiful March 15, 2006
                       Reviewer: Anonymous from Pa

Jars of Clay have painted a beautiful collection of songs on this album. They definitely portray the frailty of the human heart, our emotions and shortcomings. Different from their first cd but still very good.


Jars of Clay are cool July 29, 2005
                       Reviewer: Anonymous from NY

This was one of the first Jars of Clay CDs I had the pleasure of listening to after I became a fan of the band a few months ago. They are truly amazing, and despite the critics and such, I think they did pretty well with "Much Afraid." It's not only a statement concerning the Christian faith in general, it's a very personal reflection on the band's feelings about reaching out to a secular world with a message of faith and hope. From what Jars has said in interviews they were very "much afraid" to make a follow up to their smash hit self-titled debut because they were mocked by the secular music audience for being too preachy and then scorned by the Christian audience for not being preachy enough...so through rough times, bouts of depression and a passion for Jesus Christ, Jars of Clay wrote some of the most honest, spiritual, poetic and overall some of the best music i've heard from them yet on "Much Afraid." The stand out tracks (in my opinion) are "Crazy Times" which is a painful reminder of the reality of heartache, "Tea and Sympathy" a great observation of a self-serving society, "Frail" a beautiful depiction of humility and "Truce" which is the most eccentric song on the album. Most have blamed the band's third album "If I Left the Zoo" for being the moodiest and the darkest album they've released. However, "Much Afraid" perfectly encompasses a season of despair and confusion, while still reminding us to keep faith. Great music with a powerful message...


Amazing!!! March 1, 2005
                       Reviewer: Michael from Tallahassee

In my opinion, this CD is the perfection of the style started with Jars' self-titled freshman release. The entire CD maintains a very contemplative atmosphere, despite the inclusion of electric instruments. Songs like "Frail" and "Weighed Down" really can't be topped! Without doubt my favorite Jars of Clay CD from this era in their music making history.


Tea & Sympathy ... February 13, 2005
                       Reviewer: Anonymous from

I remember seeing Jars of Clay for the first time in 1997, and I remember them playing this one song, I could only make out the words "Tea & ....". I didn't know the lyrics, but I thought the music & the melodies were beautiful! Once I bought the Much Afraid album, I realized immediately that the song was "Tea & Sympathy", and it became my favorite Jars song of all time. The album may have good songs like Crazy Times and Fade To Grey, but no other song really compares to Tea and Sympathy.


Pretty good November 19, 2004
                       Reviewer: Anonymous from CA

I got this CD for my birthday, and really liked it...just not as much as the first Jars CD. It was cool, but the lyrics were a little vague at times. Still, they rocked out on "Crazy times" and "Fade to grey" has a nice beat. I recommend giving it a listen.

I bought this album before I heard any of the bands stuff and was so impressed I continue to buy their albums when they come out - I still class this as the best jars of clay album and listen to this more than the later stuff - fade to grey and tea and sympathy are great tracks but it is hard to pick the best of this album- If you are going to listen to Jars of Clay this would be the album I would recommend you get first


Still hints of the JOC so loved in their debut . . . August 18, 2004
                       Reviewer: Anonymous from PA

What happened? After the great accoustic rock debut release from Jars of Clay, their follow-up sophomore release "Much Afraid" seems to delve into something of a techno area. Why? I don't know. It isn't bad, with songs like "Portrait of an Apology" and "Crazy Times" headlining a solid release. But it isn't of the same caliber of their release. I don't believe anything that Jars of Clay produces will ever surpass their self-titled debut, but "Much Afraid" is a worthwhile look.
