The Fray Quickly Jumping Up Pigott's List

You know how a song kinda stays with you and you can't stop listening to it? Well, every song off of The Fray's album How to Save a Life seems to have that affect. With the death of mainstream R & B and Rock and Roll in the 21st century, The Fray seems to have hit a niche in the indie rock/neo soul era of modern music.

The album reminds me alot of Sister Hazel and Ingram Hill in some regards, but the addition of the piano on every song gives it a sort of Doors/Elton John/Five for Fighting/Ben Folds Five feel. The Fray is very widely critically acclaimed and it is very well deserved, and not just for the top 10 hit Over My Head (Cable Car).

Other great songs on the album include the title track How To Save a Life, All At Once, Oceans Away, Little House, Fall Away, and Heaven Forbid. All of these songs have kinda their own feel and while they are all similar, all show different kinda directions that the band could go in.

The best thing about this album is that it's the kinda music you can listen to under any kind of mood. Check it out
