Released in the USA on February 24 2004.

"Set List contains optimum performances of songs culled from The Frames' four album repertoire, honed and refined over 14 years of intense, elating and near-legendary live shows. The sense of profound connection forged between the band and its audience has often been compared to the evangelical feeling at shows by Springsteen and U2 – albeit with more skewed sensibilities – and it's there for the hearing on Set List: in the indoor fireworks of ‘Revelate' and ‘God Bless Mum'; in the audience's full-throated contribution to the warped earthenware folk of ‘Lay Me Down'; in the rambling, poignant and funny monologue that prefaces the aching ‘When The Heart Just Stops'; in a version of the epic ‘Fitzcarraldo' so incendiary one of the guitar amps went up in flames."

"The Cost"

Released: September 22 2006
Format: CD
Cat. No: PLATEAU 14 CD / ANTI-6841-2A (Anti)
Copyright: Plateau Records

Tracks:
01. Song For Someone (5:36)
02. Falling Slowly (4:35)
03. People Get Ready (5:28)
04. Rise (3:26)
05. When Your Mind's Made Up (3:44)

09. The Side You Never Get To See (3:40)
10. Bad Bone (4:42)

Released in the UK in October 2006, and in the US on February 20 2007.

Recorded live in the studio, "The Cost" is easily the Frames best record to date. Armed with some of the best songs they've ever written, the band set out to capture the legendary passion and dynamics of their concerts and they have fully succeeded.

Delicate folk melodies weave through blasts of big guitars and artful noise to cinematic effect.

"The familiar themes of desperation, tainted hope and rudderlessness drive the songs, particularly 'People Get Ready', to something of epic proportions. Their best record to date, by some distance."
