JeffOJun 3, 2005A great CD by one fo the all time greats. A mix of styles - early Roxy, Cajun lament, Dylan covers, cool joint effort with Eno, medeival even - but extremely coherent and cool. Check out the piano version of Fool for Love put out in the mini-movie The Porter (with Bryan in a supporting role).

RaeRFeb 16, 2003I can't get this guy out of my head. There's just something that's almost too perfect about this album. Hopefully it's this 'something' that will expand Ferry's audience base to a level he's deserved for a very long time. His collaboration with Brian Eno on 'I Thought' is simply stellar.

A general openness to experimentation makes Frantic exciting after the shock of the singer's newfound gusto has worn off.

UncutFrantic is packed with potential singles, as if he's decided it's not crime to enjoy himself, to embrace foolish things earthier than Avalon. This is classic Ferry, but full of surprises. [May 2002, p.92]

Some listeners might suggest that an album this varied has an identity crisis, but with standout tracks as glorious as the Dylan covers and the Eno closer, Frantic is a fascinating addition to Bryan Ferry's accomplished discography.
