Well, I have to say that, speaking as someone who owns all of Goldenthal's albums (and loves the vast majority) I think Frida is the least remarkable. Yes it has some pleasant moments but on the whole it's quite mediocre in my opinion and I can't think of a Goldenthal score I would recommend less as a starting point in exploring his incredible output.
