1* CriticalDissonance: ''How to Save a Life'' gained mixed reviews from professional critics who thought it was too similar to fellow piano rock contemporaries Music/{{Keane}} and Music/{{Coldplay}}. However, listeners praised the album's honest, natural sound and it later became the best-selling digital album of all time.
2* FirstInstallmentWins: ''How to Save a Life'' contains three of their biggest hits, the title track, "Look After You", and "Over My Head (Cable Car)". While their follow-up ''The Fray'' had another big hit "You Found Me" and the album topped the ''Billboard'' 200, it didn't prove to be as popular as the first in the long run.
3* MemeticMutation: The music video to "How To Save A Life" was a viral hit on [=YouTube=].

5* TearJerker: Where to start... a good half of the songs can be this.
