Frankie Welfare Boy Age Five is the debut full-length album by Braid in 1995 on Divot Records. The album features 26 tracks, each one beginning with a different letter of the alphabet. The songs are short (peaking at just over four minutes but often as brief as one), sporadic and more abrasive than future Braid releases, often slipping into hardcore and back again within the songs' compact run times.
