This is a great album. I hadn't heard of the group before 'Over My Head'

Thanks for starting this one, Ashley!

This album really did make them HUGE. All of the songs are here are incredible. Hundred is my favorite by far though. I just love the piano intro.

ETA: Jess, Over My Head was their first song that made them well-known.

You're welcome!

I

this album

I supposed like most people, this album introduced me to them, and after hearing it I went back and checked out their earlier EPs.

My fav song off of it is Look After You... it's one of my most played songs ever on last.fm

I heard about The Fray through one of my friends who lived near the area the band came out from. I didnt follow them but I did pick up the album when I noticed how popular they had become. Its probably one of the few CD's I have that I can listen to without pausing or skipping.

Heaven Forbid, Look After You, Hundred and Vienna in that order on the CD are just breathtaking. The songs flow into the next.

I can listen to this whole album, at anytime, no matter how I was feeling before, and just be in a better mood. It's that great

kbear78 · 05-31-2007, 08:18 PM

i had just got into a pretty bad fight with my best friend, and i went for a walk with my ipod...and i just played this album over and over again...it made me feel better...i was walking for an hour, before i went home...

I usually feel bad when I dont listen to the entire album when I start it. I hate having to skip around. The album is too good for that.

kbear78 · 05-31-2007, 08:19 PM

It really is Jess...

and hi

...i miss my GD mod...

flash502 · 05-31-2007, 08:26 PM

I agree with you Jess... you really have to listen to the whole thing

kbear78 · 05-31-2007, 08:28 PM

i agree with both of you...

This is such a great album. Usually there are one or two songs on albums that don't interest me but not this one. Every song is amazing and I love listening to it.

kbear78 · 05-31-2007, 08:45 PM

That's usually the case for me too...or there will only be a couple songs i like, or i have to listen to them more than once to like them, but this album i liked from the minute i popped it into my CD player...

foxybabygirl · 05-31-2007, 08:45 PM

Kara- its really nice to see you around on other boards

I think I can pretty much sum up that Im in love with this album.

probably have been for a while. Its never done wrong by me
