“Scars and Stories,” the third studio album from The Fray, is somewhat boring. Most of the songs sound similar, like they’re trying to belong in the top 40. The only song that seems like they didn’t abandon their roots is “Munich.”
The Fray seems as if they lost all of their artistic value and want to get mainstream radio play. Instead of the music being piano-based, it’s more fast-paced and focused around the lead guitar. If you’re a fan of The Fray, you probably won’t enjoy this album. Needless to say, I wouldn’t recommend anyone buy it.
