Good band.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
This is an excellent album all the songs are catchy and memorable could listen to this album over and over and never get sick if hearing these songs!!! Would recommend to everyone to buy it!!!
I'm sure a lot of people will be tempted to buy this album by the recent success of How To Save A Life, and if you like that song, then this album will be more of the same, plus some other things. The album opens with She Is, which is one of several songs that The Fray manage to produce, which on first listening appears not bad, and every subsequent listen makes it sound better and better, and it is an excellent opening to the album. The next song is Over My Head, the second single by The Fray to be released in the UK, and is another magnificent song, and extremely catchy. The third song is How To Save A Life, and if you haven't heard it, in my opinion it is another magnificent song, and one that I would tip for the Song of 2007, despite it only being April. The next two songs are All At Once and Fall Away, which are of the same sort of style as Over My Head, and, although they may feel a little repetitive, I still love them both, and Fall Away is, in my opinion, the best song on the album, and one that should definitely be released as a third single. The style begins to change at this point. Heaven Forbid is a calmer song, with a more pop-music-style influence, and Look After You is similar, and equally catchy. Hundred opens with a piano solo, and turns into an almost balladic piece. The last four songs in the album, Vienna, Dead Wrong, Little House and Trust Me, and these are fairly unremarkable, although they still fit in with the general feel of the album. Overall, I believe that this is one of the best album releases of the year so far, with some of the best pop-rock songs I have heard for a long time. I would definitely recommend it to anybody who enjoys this genre of music, and if you enjoyed How To Save A Life, this album will almost certainly provide you with at least one more favourite to add to your collection. Certainly one to buy.Read full review
Very much like Coldplay and bands like that, but the layed back style of this album make it suited to a certain taste and might not suit people who like music that instantly gets them on their feet. The album includes hit single's such as "How to Save a Life" and "Over My Head (Cable Car)" which are catchy tunes that I love. The reason it wasn't given a better rating was because as I said you need to have a very finely tuned music brain to appreciate the brilliance of this album and I know many people that wouldn't like this. The album mainly consists of songs that base their beat on a piano and most are slow to get going, but despite this its an album that I will definately be keeping in my collection. My favourite song on the disc without a doubt has to be "Look After You" which is one of the only songs on the disc that has an upbeat rythem to it and certainly a song to dance to. The Denver, Colorado based band seem to fuse indy with pop which creates a combination well worth experiencing with not many bands these days using piano's as a main beat to their tracks. All in all a great buy and would strongly recommend even the smallest of music lovers like me to buy it as it is brilliant Finally we have a new band that can break the mould and produce something original, exellent album!Read full review
the title is the main round up of what im about to say. the album is great start to finish in my opinion, with the singles how to save a life and over my head, the songs are really good at you can really start to appreciate each song for its own reasons. there is one major flaw to this album though which brings down the score. all the songs sound very much alike, they all contain mainly panio and they are all quite slow in tempo, if you lack a good attention span i would recommend it as you could find yourself wanting to swap over half way through the album. but overall the songs are good once you get used to them.
