Free Music Review: Enjoyable, the best was yet to come
Hit: 4 Stars
Ever since viewing Once, I've started a mission of really getting to know The Frames. So I started at the beginning with this album, spending a few extra dollars to buy the actual CD. Didn't really strike me as anything special the first time through, but after a few passes this CD aged well.
The lead track, Dancer, is a folk-rocker that is soaked in a huge wall of sound. Hansard's screaming vocals broaden this simple ballad and revs the listener up for a great CD.
`Tis a shame that the rest of the album is a bit scattered. Most of the remaining rockers follow the same formula, but fall short. The quiet songs are a highlight, especially "Telegraph Poles", which is the last slow dance before the fist-pumping folk songs that serve as a closer. Sorely, Glen Hansard needs his vocal space. The arrangements on this album are bit busy for the songs. Since breaking away from Island, The Frames have put out better music.
It's enjoyable, considering the rest of the Frames' discography is comparatively lo-fi. But there's a noticeable gap between here and Dance The Devil, and even more to Fitzcarraldo. Probably best to borrow and burn.
