It's ok I don't plan to check any of their other stuff, too much other good (and probably much better) stuff to spend time on these guys especially when they're not really what I'm looking for/interested in right now.

yikes that new song...



gary sounds like he's trying to do a really bad springsteen impression on the chorus and the melody already sounds like it's ripped from the last u2 record...not a good indicator for how wildness is gonna turn out

Loved Run off the previous album, and I loved this album. You may never want to hear THAT song again (which is actually a shame...familiarity truly does breed contempt), but for a brief time Snow Patrol was the biggest band in the world and this album captured their sound brilliantly. I found diminishing returns in their releases since, but this remains on rotation.

"Moving my mouse to the Rhapsody icon on my desktop" Goddamn time exponentially melts away.

Don't think this is quite as good as Final Straw, but still a good one at that! I'm a big fan of Make This Go On Forever, feels nice and atmospheric, the chorus is great!

lmao ya i threw this and final straw on again a few weeks ago and my takes flipped on them. loved this in high school but find it a little hard to come back to outside of set fire to the third bar (still one of their best). make this go on forever also a highlight tho that song is lovely

Yeah that's a good one too! I was never really into these back in the day so it's all a bit fresh to me. I'm enjoying their material though, it's mostly aged well. Final Straw is fairly solid but this feels a little too harmless for the most part. Still think it holds up, mind.

i would probably only check the follow up and call it a day. more or less also a pretty safe album except its got this like colossal 10 minute multi parter closer which is dope



i prob wouldnt have given this band the time of day if i didnt jam them as a youngun so much but their highlights are songs i still genuinely really love, esp chocolate and grazed knees

Really enjoying A Hundred Million Suns! Still need to give it a few more spins before I can drop a proper verdict on it but The Lightning Strike is awesome. I actually prefer a lot of it over Eyes Open to be fair.
