jars of clay

i have a strange pattern with liking albums by jars of clay. i, like the rest of america, quickly fell in love with their first cd (for most, thats where the interest ended, but i have kept up with them since then). when there second cd came out, called 'much afraid', i absolutely hated it. my parents bought it for me and i ended up just giving it to a friend after about my second listen. i was totally disappointed. then their third one came out, 'if i left the zoo', and i started to really dig 'much afraid'. since then, this unique pattern has emerged: i like a jars of clay album after the next one comes out. i started to like 'zoo' when '11th hour' came out. i didnt like '11th' until 'who we are instead' came out. i didnt really listen to 'instead' until 'redemption songs' came out. and i dont much care for 'redemption songs'. maybe i should just wait until their next one comes out.

what to do?

im debating whether or not to pick this one up. i actually enjoy morrisseys music quite a bit. my brother introduced me to him many years ago. i was never interested in the smiths, but i rather like his solo work. i was introduced through the album 'maladjusted' and have picked up a few older ones since. i really liked his last one 'you are the querry' but i hardly ever listen to it. i figure this cd will be the same; ill listen to it for a few weeks then put it aside quickly. is it worth the money or not?
