Jan 4, 2012As an album not bad, but as a follow up to For The Birds very disappointing. It does have some great moments but too many weak ones, something that could never have been said of the bands previous 3 albums

RichieMMar 29, 2005Very good album, though sorely missing some stomping, singalong tracks that mark most of their earlier albums. Great songs in themselves, though: a new breed of Frames?!

EricPJun 3, 2005Lacks the intimacy of their previous albums and a little too taken with the slow-build/blistering climax formula, but what they're doing here they do spectacularly well. At certain points (especially "Keepsake"), The Frames begin to sound like Godspeed You! Black Emperor condensed and given a lead singer. Whether that's a good or bad thing depends on the listener.

RichardFMar 22, 2005An accomplished album which opens with the most absorbing tune and doesn't fail to keep you listening. Although the album does tend to tail off towards the end.

ElaineKApr 3, 2005Bit weak, another side to the frames? But they're still legends and this is still a legendery album!

Burn the Maps is an elemental journey that tugs at the heart and sticks around in the mind.
-
It’s an unpredictably bipolar record with plenty of mood swings and emotional shifts that will ultimately leave listeners with feelings of euphoria.
-
Far and away the group's most determined work of its 15-year career.
