The Fray, a local Denver band has made it big and I can appreciate that to the fullest. It is great to see their music used on top rated TV networks (HBO, ABC). It is also fantastic that The Fray has been featured on MTV & VH1 throughout the years. For as little music as those networks play, being featured is sort of a big deal.
As I sit here listening to the new self-titled album by The Fray, I can't help but be thankful that they finally released a new piece of work. Their follow-up to 'How to Save a Life' comes a few years after their debut. And overall, the second pass is quite delightful. The compilation of 10 songs really blends nicely together. A true ballad here and there, but mostly the sound is more upbeat and bountiful compared to 'How to Save a Life'.
Songs, Where the Story Ends and Absolute, embody the true Fray sound; climactic, harmonic, and concise. The ballad, Ungodly Hour, is sung by Joe King. King's voice is always clear and poignant.
This sophomore treat is worth the download or CD cost.
