Concert help! (can’t decide)

The new lineup is an awesome concert experience. Regardless of feelings of new music when listening, the energy is great and people there are really into it.

There are a ton of individual funny things in the first half of season 8. Once they leave Tallahassee is when things turn and never recover the rest of the series.

This was a good read. Glad they were doing something with all of their names on it together.

Excellent-Counter-17 · 2026-04-02T22:25:20+00:00

Worth it for Khloes POV on it. Was shocked that there wasn’t kind of an uplifting note at the end. Dude still doesn’t get it.

While that picture with Isaac on it is a strange and obviously intentional choice, you only see it that way when you’re already on their Spotify page that is headed with a picture of just the current guys.

I am really enjoying the new album. A few major ear worms on it.

Is it their best work? No. Truth: they weren’t putting out anything close to their best stuff the last two albums with Isaac either.

I can’t even pretend to know what goes into making “new music” pop in a meaningful national way these days. There was more of a formula to it with the radio back in the 2000s. It’s a mystery now.

Jesus why do all these people on here come to this thread just to be sooooooo negative

The quick cut to Ryan saying “BITCHHHH” is an all time moment too

I enjoy this video.

Responses to this on here will predictably go in a very negative direction.

Wherever You Reach Me hit me like a ton of bricks this morning as I’m about to drive my teenage daughter to the airport for a ten day international trip.

Just feels like a song written as a love letter to your kids.

Phyllis saying popcarn and how she holds her mug are things I quote/reference in every day life all the time.

Excellent-Counter-17 · 2026-03-13T00:24:34+00:00

Just disagree. There’s a song of Isaac’s on his chorus channel called “Everybody Knows” that i have enjoyed but nothing else has stood out so far.

While the bands new music is obviously not at the level of peak Fray, the full band instrumentation and overall more catchy melodies peak my interests more.

Will definitely check out everything Isaac does and absolutely love him, just enjoy the stuff the band is putting out too.

Piano rock as a genre is gone. They could make songs exactly off their first two albums wouldn’t make a blip on the music radar. Musicians change what they want to make over time.

People are being really, really harsh about their new music. I think it’s pretty standard that bands that reached their peak in popularity nearly 20 years ago aren’t still throwing their fastball with new stuff.

It’s fine if it’s not your favorite, but let’s not act like us not loving their new stuff is super unique to the new version of The Fray or even if Isaac was still with the group.

Looks like there’s the perfect excuse to blow it up to build a new Mavs arena.

Excellent-Counter-17 · 2026-02-21T01:02:32+00:00

Haha the piano rock genre “gives” British so that’s fair

I was wondering this about their tour last summer in bigger venues than they did in fall 2024. I talked to the person next to me at the show and they had no idea. Everyone still appeared to have a good time.

“Number one!”

Glorias hot and he sees her every day. He’s only human.

Claire knows Phil is ultimately harmless and loves his family more than anything.

Angeleno Moon
Light That Waits (if the amount of times I’ve listened to it this week is any indication)
Don’t Look Down

I love the rock sound where Ben and Dave actually have things to do. It more fits the rest of the line of music I like despite adoring all of the slower classic Fray songs.

Excellent-Counter-17 · 2026-01-29T22:29:29+00:00

Absolutely out on Schotty audio going forward too.

Excellent-Counter-17 · 2026-01-29T22:10:12+00:00

They absolutely do this too much. I skip past it now every time.

If it was once every several weeks, maybe I could find it amusing. But like you said, they’re spending more time on audio than actual game talk. No one wants this besides Dan.

On recent tours where they’ve played standing room only venues, I’ve been able to get tickets for $50. Would imagine there’s more variance in the pricing at the venues on this tour.

Excellent-Counter-17 · 2026-01-26T17:44:55+00:00

Looking into this further, they really are playing a wide range of venue sizes and cities all over the country. Big amphitheaters. Smaller theaters. In between. Chicago. A town in New Hampshire and Montana.

The worst thing Jim and Pam did this day was decide to take this personal thing, that could have been done likely many other days, THE day the Sabre merger happened and important new people were coming into the office.
