Recording information: Sony Studios, New York, New York; Coupe Studios, Boulder, Colorado; FTM Studios, Lakewood, Colorado; Echo Park, Bloomington, Indiana (2005). This Denver-based quartet mixes the sweeping, arena-ready feel of Coldplay with the sincere, radio-friendly folk-rock of bands like Counting Crows for a highly melodic brand of palatable pop. The Fray's first release, HOW TO SAVE A LIFE, is packed with songs that push all the right mass-appeal buttons: sumptuous piano, swaying mid-tempo rhythms, anthemic choruses, and alternately soaring and meandering melodies sung in a high, emotive voice. Bridging stadium rock, emo, and classic rock on the order of U2, the Fray makes an assured first statement on their debut.

Loved it. Definatly of the must have list... worth a look for any age!

This band sounds very much the same as Coldplay. The lyrics of the songs are very likable and insperational.
Of cause, the songs 'How to save a life' and 'over my head' are those known from Greys Anatomy - the hit TV Show - so any fan of the show would be sure to take to The Fray's music.
I know a lot of people who are fans of this music - it's great. Can't wait to own it myself so I can turn it up loud!

the fray are a pretty good band, some decent songs on here such as their first single, "How To Save A Life", but apart from that and a few others, the album sounds largely very similar, which is a disappointment. the lead singers voice also tends to sound really the same, and a bit like another singer that i cant quite put my finger on...

The Fray are definately not a band I'm a fan of. A friend of mine lent me the cd as they thought i would like it, but for some reason i just could not get into it. The songs seemed to get more and more similar as the cd went on and the lead singers voice got almost unbearable to listen to.
