Our Review

After finally achieving success with their previous album, Eyes Open, Snow Patrol set out to balance between their newfound accessibility and a desire to break past all creative barriers. “Take Back the City” crackles with a tough pop-rock drive, singer Gary Lightbody channeling an urban energy and an ‘80s New Wave groove. The song’s obvious joy for living is more subtly weaved into the existential wallowing that haunts the space-themed tracks, “If There’s a Rocket Tie Me To It” and “The Planets Bend Between Us,” where Lightbody sounds less self-assured and more angst-ridden. “Lifeboats” uses a stereo-pan on Lightbody’s double-tracked vocals for a cool, disorienting effect. “The Golden Floor” evokes a spiritual dance with its tribal rhythm and dark keyboards. Recorded in both the bucolic Irish countryside and the urban frenzy of Berlin, A Hundred Millions Suns brilliantly plays between the two worlds, offering moments of contemplation and chaos. Then there’s the 16-minute finale, “The Lightning Strike,” where three movements build to the end of the world, dancing to the joyous finish. Snow Patrol are unafraid of their grand ambitions.

HIGHEST RATING FOR A SONG ON THIS ALBUM…5/5 LOWEST RATING FOR A SONG ON THIS ALBUM…2.5/5 If There’s a Rocket Tie Me to It: nice, delicate, yet strong vocals, nice, delicate guitar…4.5/5 Crack the Shutters: Strong drumbeat, good keeping tempo, some small things in the background that few people can notice, I love that…well done song, love it, good vocals, Gary Lightbody shows that he can sing without a “trained” voice…5/5 T

absolutely captivating (5 stars)
i did not know what to expect from this album and, truth be known, was only a lukewarm fan of snow patrol previously. i purchased this album when the song samples sounded promising and have not regretted the purchase. this is a stunning piece of craftsmanship, with a slightly different feel to it than their previous offerings. i will be playing this repeatedly, for certain.

If there's a sixth rating star, tie this to it... (5 stars)
The lyrics of these songs are so visually stunning you could read them out loud and ALMOST not sound like an idiot. Quietly white-hot, but cool around the edges; mostly, just beautiful. At times tricky and clever, some songs will trip you into life moments you'd forgotten - and you'll think the band viewed bits of your life before writing it down and improving on it with minor chords and soaring harmony. And then the rest of the album wil

After failing to secure an international audience for nearly ten years, Snow Patrol broke into the mainstream with 2003's Final Straw, a mega-selling album that showcased the band's fondness for epic, melancholic rock. The group had originally stuck closer to the pop realm, releasing quirky albums that took more cues from Belle & Sebastian than Coldplay (to whom the band would later draw many comparisons). Final Straw proved to be a turning point, however, paving...
