This follow-up to the Frames' acclaimed 2004 Anti- debut, BURN THE MAPS, finds the acclaimed Irish rock band working in the same widescreen scope as on that album, with songs ebbing and flowing with crashing waves of guitar lines and the fascinatingly emotive vocals of frontman Glen Hansard. Many of the tunes on THE COST unwind slowly, particularly the mesmerizing opener, "Song for Someone." There is always something unpredictable at play, though, as on "Rise," which moves from a delicate, folk-like mood to a brief, intense furor, and "True," a lilting ballad lined with scattered shards of feedback. Though many Frames fans might think of BURN THE MAPS as impossible to top, THE COST easily rivals its predecessor and stands as a true accomplishment for the band.
