I heard "Over MY Head" on a TV cable series, found it catchy, and wanted to hear more from the group. After an eventful personal odyssey, I finally discovered this CD, but it ultimately turned out to be a wasted effort. The debut album for this piano-based-sounding group (from Denver-if that has any significance) is pleasant enough, that is, on first listening, but it too soon becomes superficial and redundant. The enticing single "Over My Head" does have an entertaining chorus and memorable refrain that makes nice use of the cable car metaphor. Yet, unfortunately the majority of the compositions on this album sound as if they were manufactured by a cookie cutter song machine. Indeed, I don't think I ever remember hearing selections that were so much alike: they use a very (that's VERY) similar musical structure, are almost identical in studio production, and follow the same form by opening with an understated verse which then moves speedily to chorus, repeated and repeated to make the statement. A slight exception might be the title track "How To Save A Life" (apparently played on Grey's Anatomy) with its delicate piano intro and tender ballad-like message or "She Is" which demonstrates a bit of a driving rhythm. Even so, note that both still employ the repetitious chorus. The rest aren't even worth comment other than to say they are undistinguished [read undistiguishable]. The lead singer's voice, which by the way is reminiscent of David Gray's [no pun intended], may fit the tone of "Over My Head," but, likewise, by the time you hear him on two or three of the other whining tracks [incidentally- NOT like David Gray], you'll want to be rescued from the experience. The continued exposure will either annoy you or put you to sleep. To the point, this first album for The FRAY demonstrates that the group understands the concept of formula far too well. They should appreciate, however, that comfortable and familiar often leads very quickly to boring. With that in mind, most if not all of this can be thrown in the waste bin unless you are looking for sounds that will induce deep slumber. To be honest, its most salient charcteristic is monotony. It is short on ideas and reveals little depth or creative effort.

When I was asked to compare The Fray to another band, I thought for a minute and said no other band can have the lyrics that are so meaningful. No other band can have a song that makes you think deeply and realize how powerful the songs are. No other band could even come close to being The Fray. No other band could write such an emotional song. All of the songs on this one CD is a master piece of its own.

This c.d. is just up and down a great album. Every song on here I just love. I could listen to this the whole day, over and over again. My favorite has always been How To Save A Life. All At Once, Hundred, and Vienna are just awesome, and the other ones are just as good. So listen to it, or you're missing out.

These songs don't have an edge to them, they're too comfortable. They're not bad, but they don't draw me in or make me go wow that was a great song.

Barnes & Noble - David Sprague
It's not that hard to write a catchy tune, but crafting songs that create an emotional connection with just about anyone who hears them -- well, that's an altogether tougher task. Despite their relative youth -- frontman and primary songwriter Isaac Slade is just 25 -- this Denver-bred quartet proved their ability to do just that with the breakthrough hit "Over My Head (Cable Car)," a poignant tale that details Slade's relationship with his brother in remarkably universal language. Slade's piano playing is the primary coloring agent in songs such as "Look After You" and "Heaven Forbid," and while that might initially suggest similarly constructed British bands like ...
