How to save a life (The Fray) (LP 4314)

GenreAlt pop 

Places I remember: Virgin Megastore Dubai.

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: How to Save a Life

Gear costume: Over My Head (Cable Car)

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5Part 6Part 7

Active compensatory factors: This was the debut album by The Fray - a band from Denver Colorado. In my head I thought they were like Embrace - a band from England. 

I like both bands for their warm harmony rock approach. The album may not be wildly original but it does contain a delightful mix of mid-tempo piano-driven rock songs and a smattering of effective power ballads. 

Where do they all belong? This is my only album by The Fray but I'd certainly snap up any others if I come across them.
