More Info:

2009 album from the Denver-based quartet, the follow-up to their enormously successful How to Save a Life. The Fray, who exploded into worldwide success with that album, have captured the skilled songwriting that broke them and, with the help of acclaimed producers Mike Flynn and Aaron Johnson, created a set of songs sure to make them household names. The band continues their licensing success story by collaborating with ABC's hit show, Lost in a series of music video promos featuring the album's first single, 'You Found Me' for the newest season of the show. The spots also ran during the 2008 American Music Awards, where the band was a featured performer. Over the weekend of the release and performance, the Lost video had over one million views. 10 tracks.

Reviews:

Oooh, opting for the second album to get all self-titled on our asses, huh? Not even Coldplay have pulled that one yet, and you better believe this is Denver’s version of Coldplay. 2005’s How to Save a Life established the Fray as a soulful lite-rock force, and you can expect much of the same on their sophomore effort. The challenge, of course, being to write something as mournful and memorable as "Over My Head (Cable Car)." We think they’ve succeeded with the dramatic piano tinkling of "You Found Me," in which frontman Isaac Slade asks, "Where were you before everything was falling apart?" before eerily confessing, "You found me lying on the floor." Naturally, we approve of the morbidity. Added incentive: The first 300,000 copies of this record will include a documentary called Fair Fight, taken from the name of an exclusive digital bonus track.
