Product description CD: The Fray,How To Save A Life .co.uk On their full-length debut, Denver quartet the Fray don't exactly reinvent the wheel, but those looking for melodic, mid-tempo pop could do far worse. That said, the 12 songs on How To Save a Life are barely distinguishable from each other. If you like one, you'll probably like the rest (and you'll be in the company of thousands of other listeners.) If you don't like one, it's unlikely the others will change your mind. Formed in 2002, the band consists of Isaac Slade (vocals, piano), Joe King (guitar, vocals), Ben Wysocki (drums), and Dave Welsh (guitar). Since their formation, the Fray have elicited comparisons to British groups like Coldplay and Keane, and American ones like Counting Crows and the Wallflowers. They've also toured with Weezer and Ben Folds and had songs--like "Over My Head (Cable Car)"--featured on such popular programmes as Grey's Anatomy. Though they incorporate guitar, unlike Keane, Slade's expert piano playing is prominent on every track. To his credit, he can also hit the high notes just as gracefully as Coldplay's Chris Martin, but therein lies the rub: As with the band as a whole, Slade hasn't quite found his own voice yet. How To Save a Life is polished and professional, bland and inoffensive. It goes down easy, but evaporates into the ether just as quickly. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

EASY TO LISTEN TO
Bought at full cost, My reviews are based on honest truth meaning the good, the bad and the ugly where appropriate. Music of any sort is a matter for the listener. Discovered through TV soundtrack. Most of the CD, to my taste is well wort listening to. I have some hearing issues so actually hearing the wording / lyrics is sometimes difficult but the music is easy to listen to. Played in the background whilst video editing, reading or similar is quite relaxing. Worth buying but do the rounds to get the best value IF YOU FOUND THIS REVIW USEFUL PLEASE CLICK ON THE USEFUL REVIEW BUTTON

How to Save a Life
On first listen I discounted this album, feeling it to be very samey the whole way through. But with repeated listening you really get a feel for the music on offer and realise there is a lot more depth and feeling behind it than originally meets the eye. Of course you get the major hit 'How To Save A Life', but one of my favourites has to be 'Over My Head' which I'll often put on repeat and turn my stereo up loud for! There is a great mix of piano playing, solid song-writing and inspiring lyrics here and my main advice is to give it a go and to give it a fair chance, you shouldn't be disappointed.Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.

Two Magical Songs, One Fantastic Album!
I bought this album on the strength of loving 2 of their songs 'How To Save a Life' and 'Over My Head'. The rest of the Album whilst not up that level, is really good and strong enough to warrant looking into the Band further. I have seen them in concert once and admit to not appreciating what I was hearing at the time. Maybe the alcohol effected my hearing? Check them out, they're good!

She is Everything and Look After you. Such romantic lyricists.

A brilliant song selection
The Fray have created an album that truly shows off their talent. With vocals similar to Lifehouse and a little less full on than Better Than Ezra, the bands rock feel is brilliantly put across, in some of their best songs, such as "Hundred" and "She Is". "How To Save A Life" and "Dead Wrong" bring a softer tone to the album, with some lyrics that prick your skin.A brilliant song collection from a great rock band, that the show Scrubs have used a few times over.
