Anyone here listen to The Frames? I have recently fallen in love with them, amazing band...

For those looking for new music, I implore you, for starters buy "Burn the Maps" and "Setlist", listen 5 times and you will be hooked.

Supposedly in Ireland they are bigger in the music scene than U2. I can see why.

    I got Burn the Maps a few weeks ago, unfortunately I've been pretty short on time and haven't had the chance to listen the album with attention... I think I've only heard it once so far, the music is beautifully well done, but I dunno, I wasn't impressed that much. However, as I tell you, I think I still owe the record a proper listen, I have the impression I missed something the first time.

    I like them. I've seen them live a couple times, but after a while, I can't really take their music- I need it in very small doses.

    Glen Hansard is treated like some kind of messiah in this country, to me he's just a glorified busker.

    Definitely give it a few more chances, I wasn't blown away at first either, but after 5 listens I was hooked, great album.

    The frames are great.

    Setlist is an increidble live show, dance the devil is my favorite album.

    So far ive only heard Fake from the new record. Love it.
