The Frames - The Cost

It's OK but not my Favorite

I love the sound of this album, but after buying it, too many of the songs just sounded the same. The vocals are unique but the album drags after a while. It dropped to the bottom of our play list rather quickly. June 18, 2008

Loved the Swell Season

This CD had a lot of similar sounding music. I missed her voice, but it was good May 29, 2008

The Cost is great music!

I love this Cd! The music is haunting & moving, & rocking also. The lyrics are great. Glen Hansard delivers a great performance, as always. The band is very talented, as well. I'll have to get more of the Frames work! April 20, 2008

Amazingly Gatifying

I bought the MP3 album of this cd and only expected amazement as I loved the film Once.

This album was immediately brought to my top 20 favorite albums of all time. I understand that doesn't sound good, but I have so much music it's unbelievable. It would probably rank at a higher level to someone who doesn't have over 10,000 songs in his/her collection.

If you enjoyed the film Once, you will find that these simply are more advance versions of some of the songs. That is, some songs have been re-recorded with a full band, not just piano and guitar. This is not a negative aspect to the cd. It's ONLY positive.

I love it. SOOOOOOOOOOO much.

A must have for a lover of Once... which should be everyone, because Once was amazing. : ) March 17, 2008

True music lover's album

The Cost
I find this to be the best album I've come across since The Fray How To Save A Life "How Save a Life". If you love the Fray and Coldplay or Left Outlet, you'll love this album. I can't say the sound of the music of each of these groups is comparable, but the FEEL of the music of each of these groups is comparable. You should definitely buy this album. It certainly is worth the money. It's a very emotional and moving sound. October 19, 2007
