Frames is the third studio album by British progressive/alternative rock band Oceansize, released on 1 October 2007 on Superball Music.

On our second album, we did that classic thing that every band seems to do – try to sanitize who we are to make a bid for airplay and try and trim everything down so it’s nice and concise.

"Guitarist/Keyboardist Gambler revealed that Frames was his favorite record, stating that "after the changes that happened after Everyone Into Position – new bass player and new manager – that album seemed like a great achievement, kind of a new beginning.".

[6] Lead singer, Mike Vennart, notes that the title: “evokes strength and structure, and kind of a sense of time as well – every second is like a frame of your life that’s ticking away, and then it’s gone.

[3] The ink drawings, featured in the album's artwork, are by Nine Inch Nails and Guns N' Roses guitarist Robin Finck.

[17] MusicOMH was also positive, in saying that the "instrumental track An Old Friend Of The Christies builds on a simple chorale-like statement to shake the rafters, while Trail Of Fire and Savant feature particularly impressive codas.

Drummer Mark Heron gets in on the act, too, with some heavy gunfire in the fills of Commemorative T-Shirt and some most effective stick work evident even in the underpinning rhythms.

With Sheldon back, gone are those all too frequent moments of Mike Vennart's croons being completely shredded into non-existence thanks to the tornado of guitars and drums that dominate the lion's share of Oceansize's material."
