Editorial Reviews

"PAINTING OF A PANIC ATTACK" was recorded at Dessner's Brooklyn studio - where The National also recorded The National's "HIGH VIOLET" and "TROUBLE WILL FIND ME" - and at Dreamland Studio in Woodstock, NY in the summer of 2015. Much of the album is indebted lyrically to Los Angeles, where frontman Scott Hutchison moved to from Scotland in 2014 Tracks such as "Get Out," the lead single which chronicles an addictive and obsessive love, and "Still Want To Be Here," telling of his struggle with adjusting to life in LA, perfectly encapsulate the mindset of the Frightened Rabbit frontman since the band's last release. And, of the album closer "Die Like A Rich Boy," Dessner says, "[It] feels like a completely classic song, but it's also a distillation of everything Scott has ever written about. It's so gracefully constructed and realized, and it's not trying to be anything other than what it is. I wish I could write a song like that".

"When I was a kid, Frightened Rabbit recorded their music using thrift store guitars and tube amps and we liked it!"

Unlike some trolls on Amazon, I give the music the stars not the packaging. This album is a progression from Pedestrian Verse which was a progression from the album before. They just keep getting better and better. I think the production is spot on. I love The National and think that Dessner is a genius producer. My favorites so far are Death Dream and An Otherwise Disappointing Life. I can't wait to hear it live in two weeks! Ignore the crusty old grandpas who always lament when someone uses modern recording techniques and equipment to record an album. Thank goodness they didn't decide to record the album onto a wax cylinder using a butter knife.
No for my packaging review: Zero Starts! There is no download code for the vinyl and it is not available on AUTORIP. That is a travesty. So, I will have to shell out another $10-15 if I want to listen to it somewhere other than my turntable. Shame on you Warner/Atlantic. You still haven't figured out that the reason you guys are dinosaurs is because you keep trying to rip off your customers. I can't wait until the major labels are all bankrupt.

The Evolution of a Great Scottish Band

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

Outstanding songs with excellent production and yet another evolutionary step in the right direction for this criminally underrated and in some cases unheard (USA, looking at you) Scottish band. FR continue to evolve into a really great band on this record, while maintaining their aesthetic of blue collar and grounded songwriting. Understated and earnest, there aren't any throwaway tracks to be found on this record. The "deluxe" edition is a no-brainer purchase if you're considering picking this up. If "Get Out" doesn't earn them some brand new fans, then Warner Records has seriously dropped the ball promoting this record.

As with all previous offerings, don't expect sunshine and cheer, but that's not a bad thing. 6-7 tracks will instantly appeal to most listeners, and the rest grow on you very quickly with repeated plays. Looking forward to seeing these guys live and seeing where they go to from here. I was going to list the highlight tracks, but there really aren't any duds on this record.

Incredible album from start to finish. Production is amazing, lots of tasteful details hidden within (excellent for good headphone listening!) I just recently 'stumbled' onto this band and am glad I did. Gives me hope that there's still new music being made out there that's worth more than a cursory 'background' listen. Definitely many notches above most of the tripe that's out there these days. Dim the lights, light some candles and if the song 'Little Drum' doesn't give you goosebumps, then you need to check your pulse to be sure you're still alive. Also had the privilege to see these gents twice in concert in Ohio - great energy, enthusiasm and musical integrity.

Got this for our son-in-law for christmas and it was well received. Haven't heard it myself yet.

This is an outstanding album. Beautiful but intense. Hutchison was clearly a phenomenally talented singer and composer but, from the sounds of his lyrics, was also quite disturbed. The songs both grow on you and grind into your heart. It is so sad that Scott left us because he had some much going for him in his passion and his band.

More Quality Goods - Buy This!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

Great stuff! I felt there was a similarity between the music on this compilation and that of the National. As I was looking through the credits, I noticed that the producer was Aaron Dessner of The National. Surprise!! A stellar effort by any means. Lots of single potential on this album. They've been playing them one after the other on Indie radio. "I Wish I Was Sober" is really haunting, as is "Die Like A Rich Boy". "An Otherwise Disappointing Life" has the quality of desperate hope that makes for a good solo listen late at night. Frightened Rabbit just keeps getting better and better.

FR keeps on killing it.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

Of course it's good—it's Frightened Rabbit. They continue to evolve without giving up hooks and melody (as so many other bands seem to think is required in order to "grow"), but still have injected some new sounds and different moods into their music. The album is undeniably their darkest (the title and the cover art give that up right away,) but there are still plenty of moments of melodic joy to be found, keeping the listener (and perhaps the songwriter?) from losing all hope. Scott Hutchison's lyrics are still an introspective marvel, providing layers of depth once you've settled into the groove of each song.

Dig.

I love this CD, but sad there will be no more

I bought this and another of their CDs after hearing Scott Hutchison being interviewed on NPR. It's stellar. Every song is inventive and lyrical. His sadness drips through the songs. I am so sad he lost hope and ended his life. He was gifted and unique.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 14, 2016

I came into this album almost blind. By that I mean that I was looking to buy an album, saw this in the album chart, like the title, listened to about half a song before purchasing. So basically, didn't know the band, hadn't heard anything by them and was going by Painting of a Panic Attack as the title of an album I would possibly like.

So what do I think of it? Well, I like it, but I'm not sure why. I listen to it in the car, which means I have other things to think about and I think this album needs more attention than I give it.

The lyrics are complex and tell some great stories, and the vocals are great, mainly cos they are so Scottish and who doesn't want to listen to Scottish vocals. They are ethereal and sometimes get drowned out by the music, but this is probably deliberate.

The music can be powerful at times, but also delicate, never more so in the title track Death Dream, where the beat ebbs and flows and the melody keeps the rhythm going, like a heartbeat.

Sorry for this meandering review. In summary I like the album and would recommend if you like well crafted lyrics.
P.S. Any suggestions for other albums by Frightened Rabbit I should take a look at?

A fine piece of art.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 22, 2019

Verified Purchase

The production on this album is quite splendid. And there's really juicy sonic verbage by the late singer coupled with a fantastic eye for lyric detail. All song lyrics would stand alone as poetic work. Death Dream stands out on the lyric front, a near perfect creative reconstruction of an anxiety attack painted in a precise and careful careful manner and rightly treated with respect. All the more insightful given the circumstances later on... Wonderful imaginations by all band members sees these songs follow one another like domino's made from the black and grey sky found above a Scottish mountain near the perfect time that might be years and years away...
