OVERVIEW
This is the sophomore effort from American alternative rock band, The Fray. I had not heard of the band prior to listening to this album.
It seems the band’s sound is primarily driven by piano. Most of the tracks are mellow. Not my cup of tea on the whole, but I can’t call it a bad album either.
HIGHLIGHTS :
You Found Me, Never Say Never, We Build Then We Break
