Description of How to Save a Life:
On their full-length debut, Denver quartet the Fray don't exactly reinvent the wheel, but those looking for melodic, mid-tempo pop could do far worse. That said, the 12 songs on Top 40 hit How To Save a Life are barely distinguishable from each other. If you like one, you'll probably like the rest (and you'll be in the company of thousands of other listeners.) If you don't like one, it's unlikely the others will change your mind. Formed in 2002 and signed by Epic in 2004, the band consists of Isaac Slade (vocals, piano), Joe King (guitar, vocals), Ben Wysocki (drums), and Dave Welsh (guitar). Since their formation, the Fray have elicited comparisons to British groups like Coldplay and Keane, and American ones like Counting Crows and the Wallflowers. They've also toured with Weezer and Ben Folds and had songs--like first single "Over My Head (Cable Car)"--featured on such popular programs as Grey's Anatomy. Though they incorporate guitar, unlike Keane, Slade's expert piano playing is prominent on every track. To his credit, he can also hit the high notes just as gracefully as Coldplay's Chris Martin, but therein lies the rub: As with the band as a whole, Slade hasn't quite found his own voice yet. How To Save a Life is polished and professional, bland and inoffensive. It goes down easy, but evaporates into the ether just as quickly. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
How to Save a Life Reviews:
not bad at all 
2009-06-26 - okay well the cd itself was amazing i mean i seriously can not stop listening to it but unfortunately i do have to say that the cd case did indeed come cracked though im sure it was the person delivering it who caused that although i have shopped at amazon a few times before and it has always come in perfect condition.
Amazing Album 
2008-07-12 - This is absolutely on of the best albums by a new emerging band. This band is on currently on the top of my list. I encourage everyone to buy the album. "How To Save A Life" is truely touching!
How to Save a Life
2007-05-12 - This is an amazing album, all the songs on it are flawless. The lyrics are deep and heartfelt, they're well written and can reach out to everybody, because their meaning is as vast as it is decisive. The best songs on the album are 'How to Save a Life', "Cable Car (Over My Head)', 'Look After You', 'All At Once', and "She Is'. The extra DVD is a great accompaniment, especially the documentary about the album. Worth every cent!
Easy listening
2007-03-22 - Two of my favorite songs are on this CD. I play this in my classroom while my students are working and they love it. Nothing really offensive and easy on the ears.
