One listen and it's instantly clear that this album is inferior to their. Scars & Stories marks, in my opinion, the beginning of this band's tumble into irrelevance. Producer Brendan O’Brien pushes The Fray toward a more muscular, aggressive sound while retaining the graceful piano interludes that defined the band’s earlier work. On its third album, The Fray journeys across physical and emotional landscapes as it fortifies its music with a bolder production approach. Big in sound and ambitious in scope, Scars & Stories aims for a wide audience but doesn’t lose its humanity in the process. Lead singer Isaac Slade continues to project a heroic (if tormented) presence in defiantly idealistic numbers like “Heartbeat,” “Here We Are,' and “The Fighter.” He takes on a seafarer's spirit in “The Wind” and delivers a compelling romantic vignette in “Rainy Zurich.” The band’s underlying Christian faith is expressed most clearly in the stately, hymn-like “Be Still.” At its best, The Fray has the power to disarm the most cynical listener with a heartfelt ballad-it does that here in “I Can Barely Say,” a falsetto-tinged confession of need draped with dramatic orchestration.
