Summary: Best CD I've ever heard
Comment: I don't even know where to begin. This is definitely the best CD I have heard in a long time. I got this album after hearing the song "Over My Head" on the radio, and instantly fell in love. Every single song on this album is unique and it really highlights how talented these four young men are. I recommend this album to anyone who likes good music! It is worth the money! I can't wait for their upcoming album, which will be out pretty soon!!

Summary: The Fray CD Review
Comment: I have had this CD for a few months now and I have also loaded it into my IPOD. This CD is one of my favorites and I listen to it quite frequently. Many of the songs, although not popular on the radio, are not to be missed on this CD.

Summary: How Do You Save This CD?
Comment: When I bought this CD, I knew and loved their three singles: How to Save a Life, Over My Head (Cable Car), and Look After You. I thought "hey, I love these songs, the cd is surely full of gems like these!" But when I got home and listened to it, every song sounded the same. Same piano, slow tempo, sad, sensitive lyrics. I literally wasn't even sure if a new song had begun or not without checking what track it was on. In the end, I wish I'd just bought the 3 songs I already liked-- there was nothing else that stood out to me on the cd. It's fine, it's nice, it's calming... but it's boring, too.

Summary: Pure Pop for Fray People
Comment: Nice songs with pleasing melodies will always find an audience if they are performed well, and that is exactly what The Fray's debut serves up. I'm not sure where the Coldplay comparisons come in other than the music on "How to Save a Life" is soft-spoken and low-key. In my mind, this is from the same school of pop music that breeds bands like Maroon 5. The songs are all innocuous but good, even if they eventually start to bleed into each other.
It's also worth pointing out that the two main singles, "Over My Head" and the title track, are the best things here. The Fray do piano-pop (think Ben Folds minus the wit or Five For Fighting) but don't bring anything new to the table. Perhaps their sophomore album will see them grow into something tougher or more bold in their sound, but if you're looking for genial pop, "How to Save a Life" does the job.

Summary: ColdPlay Fans, will love this Album
Comment: I'm a Huge Fan of the Band Coldplay. So when I heard the Fray I was hooked. Alot of Piano which is good. Sings and sounds just like the Lead Singer in Coldplay.
