  Jars of Clay : The Eleventh Hour - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
The event served to foreshadow the group's March 2002 release The Eleventh Hour, an album heralded as comparable to the band's debut project.
The album opens with the edgy pop track "Disappear," a song expressing the difficulty people face in accepting the existence of unconditional love.
It is a return to the elements that drove the sudden success of the band in 1994 and 1995.

  Jesusfreakhideout.com: Jars of Clay, "The Eleventh Hour" Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
From the opening of The Eleventh Hour with "Disappear," the maturity of their sound is clear.
The Eleventh Hour is a triumph in the evolutionary cycle of Jars of Clay.
Maybe it isn't quite as revolutionary or spiritually bold as their debut, but Eleventh Hour is an excellent collection of songs that will easily find itself as one of the most loved albums of the year.

 Jars of Clay: The Eleventh Hour: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
They recorded two albums of standard pop fare, the kind enjoyed less by college kids, and more by their 30-something, married and mustached youth group leaders.
Jars of Clay's newest disc, The Eleventh Hour, is triumphant, just as likely as their debut to tug at your heartstrings and stoke your inner-burning flame.
The album opens with the edgy pop of "Disappear," reminiscent of their 1995 MTV hit, "Flood" (and its confusing video of a tormented retard stuck in a mud bog).

This is the longest track on the album, at five and a half minutes, and despite its musically repetitive nature, it’s one of the most moving songs on the album.
The spirit of the first album may be present here, but the sound is different, and fans expecting a rehash of the classics will be as disappointed as they were with the last two albums.
This album is more than adequate to show us that the band’s still got the magic, that being at the forefront of the industry for their entire career hasn’t made them lose the desire to keep tinkering away in the studio, trying to come up with something new, something inspiring… something beautiful.

 CGR: Jars Of Clay - The Eleventh Hour
welllll....i like the album a lot especially, "i need you," "fly," "dissapear," and "these ordinary days," and this cd is definentally way better than "much afraid" and probably even somewhat better than "if i left the zoo," (although i do really like that one), but i really dont think it surpasses their debut album.
What I noticed about Eleventh Hour is that it is the first to be produced by JOC since their self-titled.
Though all for albums are good, this one is has what first attracted me to Jars of Clay, it's special music, and The Eleventh Hour is JOC returning to it's sources.

The biggest problem I have with this album is that it's song are of a typical mainstream christian idealism, a category that a lot of contemporary christian artists have unfortunately been emmersed in.
ELEVENTH HOUR is truly a masterpiece, with wonderful lyrics, melody, and very cool keyboard effects.
The Eleventh Hour is intellectually captivating and beautifully mixed, a very strong, solid album worth the purchase.

However against such a back drop the band produced a fine album, 1983 should be remembered as Magnums year of success over adversity and this aptly named album is one that forms an important slice of their early work.
The album title was “Eleventh Hour“ and the Rodney Matthews cover showed an apocalyptic scenario in which the goddess of money with horns and claws presents some of the achievements of “civilisation “to a group of children: nuclear power stations, vain treaties, drug syringes, fighter planes, strategic rockets with grim faces and poisonous chemicals.
This album stands alongside the previous release Chase the Dragon to form what many people regard as their defining sound, It certainly captures the early days, a sound that was to change with the various line up changes that were to follow.

The results were albums that got progressively better sonically (primarily in the expanded guitar repertoire of Stephen Mason and Matt Odmark and the increased vocal confidence of singer Dan Haseltine), but somehow lacked the spark of the debut, which produced the mega-single Flood.
The album's first half is where most of the "fun" songs live, with the troika of Revolution, Fly and I Need You presenting the best opportunity to jump up and rock out.
At track six, Eleventh Hour becomes more of a "listening record," with added acoustic guitars, loops that draw the listener in rather than just propel the song along, and the performances become a tad more intimate.

When the album was completed, the group was unable to obtain distribution in either the UK or the US, but Banks and Foxx continued to record as "Empire" with an assortment of other backing musicians.
But the album's main attraction is its extensive instrumental work, comprising sunbursts of effects organ, Mellotron strings, a few baroque electric piano embellishments and even rudimentary synth riffs and glissandi, giving the music a both sunny and spacey feel that takes it from pastures green to gulfs interstellar.
Since their third album failed to raise a major interest in the times of new-wave and techno-pop, Berge decided to break away from the band in order to purse a solo career.

 NPR : Jars of Clay
But to the uninitiated, many of the tunes on their latest album, The Eleventh Hour, could be taken for straight-ahead, modern-pop love songs.
And while those songs address the complexities and subtleties of love with a maturity that belies the youth of these mid-20s musicians, their subject could be God or a girl.
On early albums -- such as the eponymous 1995 debut -- the band was more blunt in expressing religious convictions.

On this album Magnum were producing themselves, and so had a lot of creative freedom.
The first half of the album is probably the best, with the synth-laden 'The Prize' providing a powerful opening number.
Most of the material made after this album is nowhere near as hard or progressive as this, yet it was the bands most popular era.

 CNN Programs - Showbiz Today
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- The Grammy-winning group Jars Of Clay are on tour to support their fourth studio album, "The Eleventh Hour." Some critics are describing it as their best work to date.
We started out coming off of an album that maybe fit a lot of the rest of the rock and roll world, where it just seemed like everyone was writing songs about nothing.
It was just the four of us college guys making a record and writing music that we enjoyed, and after that album and the success, all of a sudden, there's so many more opinions involved.

 The Eleventh Hour - Jars of Clay - Music
But it's worth noting that every album has sold half as much as its predecessor and that Jars of Clay has been trying to recapture the sound and success of the first album ever since its release — portrait of a band searching for its voice.
I'm happy to say that Jars of Clay seems to have found that voice with their latest release, The Eleventh Hour, though I still don't think the band has recaptured the sound of their first album.
By comparison, I think The Eleventh Hour sounds the most like If I Left the Zoo, only the production is a little more focused and restrained and the songs are more introspective and meaningful (like the debut and Much Afraid).

 The Eleventh Hour - Jars of Clay (YouthPastor.Com)
The music on The Eleventh Hour rocks a lot more than that on If I Left the Zoo, but nothing is lost in the faster tempo.
The lyrics weren't overtly Christian as their previous albums are, they didn't even thank God as in the previous albums.
IMHO, The Eleventh Hour is their most lyrically creative album to date.

 Renown Magazine
On March 5th, 2002, the Illinois-based band Jars of Clay released their fourth album, titled “The Eleventh Hour.” The forty-two minute disc is engulfed with Dan Haseltine’s signature vocals and his continually meliorating lyrics, showcasing the band’s continuing growth and maturity.
It is a pond of cold water that many originally ran away from after dipping their toe in, not realizing it is actually refreshingly warm and enjoyable once you stay in for a while.
The Eleventh Hour is definitely one of the best albums this industry has ever seen, period.

 Epinions.com - The Eleventh Hour gets Silenced at Ten
The song, which is rather poppy and pedestrian on the album, had considerably more kick in a live setting with the guitars turned up, and here once again the band juxtaposed their own song with a cover song that happened to fit with the chord structure.
They were more faithful to the album version this time out, and once again they took full advantage of the audience to fill in the soulful vocal parts from the album and to whistle along with the acoustic guitar solo in the middle of the song.
Though the overall sound was a bit muddy (it’s meant to sound like more of a garage-rock song even on the album), it was still the stand-out, rock-out and sing at the top of your lungs moment of the evening.

The Eleventh Hour is possibly more God-influenced than any of the band's previous efforts, as evidenced by two of the albums best tracks, I Need You and Revolution, which could be the band's next Flood.
With this album, the whole package is hard to forget.

 CD Baby: APOLLO QUARTET: The Eleventh Hour
After releasing a self-produced debut entitled "Modern History," the group landed legendary indie artist and producer J Robbins for their latest release, "The Eleventh Hour." The album is a balanced post-rock affair, toting catchy, energy-packed hits like "This Time Around" with more introspective tunes like "The Last Great Holdout" and the closing "Wrapped in Silence."
I will admit they are dabbling in a genre that I don't relate to that much (namely emo and I know they will probably be pissed at me for calling their stuff emo)but this is still a solid album.
A little mathy, a little jazzy, very rocking and well-produced, "The Eleventh Hour" has made this picky 40-something listener a new fan of Apollo Quartet!

 The Other 99: At the Eleventh Hour - PopMatters Music Review
This is the kind of album that you might play when pining over some lover for days on end or after you've broken up with that person or when you're just having one of those days.
Sometimes the use of repetition is a rule that should be broken in the three-minute pop song format.
The opening "Happy", "Better View", and the closing "Corner of Your Heart" represent the one-third of the album that is playful and all smiles.
