{"product_id":"the-fray-scars-stories-cd","title":"Scars \u0026 Stories CD","description":"On its third album, The Fray journeys across physical and emotional landscapes as it fortifies its music with a bolder production approach. 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. Lead singer Isaac Slade continues to project a heroic (if tormented) presence in defiantly idealistic numbers like \u003cem\u003eHeartbeat\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHere We Are\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe Fighter\u003c\/em\u003e. He takes on a seafarer's spirit in \u003cem\u003eThe Wind\u003c\/em\u003e and delivers a compelling romantic vignette in \u003cem\u003eRainy Zurich\u003c\/em\u003e. The band's underlying Christian faith is expressed most clearly in the stately, hymn-like \u003cem\u003eBe Still\u003c\/em\u003e.   At its best, The Fray has the power to disarm the most cynical listener with a heartfelt ballad-it does that here in \u003cem\u003eI Can Barely Say\u003c\/em\u003e, a falsetto-tinged confession of need draped with dramatic orchestration. Big in sound and ambitious in scope, \u003cem\u003eScars \u0026amp; Stories\u003c\/em\u003e aims for a wide audience but doesn't lose its humanity in the process. - iTunes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: February 07, 2012\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Epic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 886919246124\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Fray","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772409729,"sku":"The Fray (5)","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/The_Fray_Scars_Stories_CD.jpg?v=1748462957","url":"https:\/\/colliderecords.live\/products\/the-fray-scars-stories-cd","provider":"Collide Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
