The Denver quartet have crafted 10 well-shaped, melodic pieces of polished alternative pop-rock, spearheaded by the first single, "You Found Me." Starting with the piano-based pop of acts like Coldplay or Snow Patrol, but adding enough guitar-based muscle and emo-tinged grit to keep from sounding like mere imitators, the Fray also feature the powerful vocals of frontman Isaac Slade, who is particularly memorable on "Where the Story Ends" and "We Build Then We Break."
Industry Reviews [A] trio of songs -- the gentle 'Ungodly Hour,' the fuzzy-grooved 'We Build Then We Break' and the subtly building 'Happiness' -- bring the album to a powerful and emotionally rich close.
