   Summary: Melt into Glen Hansard's voice...
I am a recent convert to The Frames, somehow i missed out on them for the last 10 years or so. I saw the movie "Once" earlier this week, and tonight saw their live performance at the Bumbershoot music festival in Seattle. They are amazing, the entire band (i love an electric violin...), but for me it's Glen Hansard's voice makes the band amazing. I cried during the movie, and if I wasn't so happy to be there i would have cried during the performance. This is an amazing album, it's worth "the cost".

   Summary: Consistent album from start to finish
Glen Hansard definitely knows how to write good lyrics. Musically the album was more monotonous than I expected it to be. But the album has a very well carved tone that does not change from start to finish. Even the songs previously featured in Hansard-Irglova's "The Swell Season" are re-arranged to fit the album well. My favorite song is probably is "Sad Songs", a very simple and beautiful song that moves you, but does it quietly. This is my first Frames album, so cannot compare it to the rest, but I am pleased with my purchase :)

   Summary: The Frames Rock!
This is a great CD--great band. Some of the songs are in the movie "Once", a film where Glen Hansard finally gets his due and Carney shows his brilliance-- I saw Mr. Hansard in Chicago on a solo-tour and I've never heard a better version of Raglan Road, but also on the flip side what Aaron Copeland calls "good healthy dissonance."

   Summary: The Man has a great voice
I actually saw the movie "Once" this evening and rushed to the store before it closed to by the soundtrack...since that was not available I picked up The Cost and played the album over twice on the drive home.

   Summary: Disappointing
Mostly ballads, The Cost seems like a Glen Hansard solo album. But that's not really the disappointment here; few of the ballads present anything unique or musically compelling. Yes, Glen has a lovely voice and conveys great empathy, sincerity and beauty. But the songs themselves get too monotonous after a while.
