iTunes Review
Initially a trio who met while studying in Dundee, Scotland and have since settled in Glasgow, Snow Patrol released their debut album Songs for Polar Bears on the hip U.K. Jeepster record label in 1998. They've since expanded into a five-piece ensemble - including a turntable/sampler/keyboardist - and established themselves as an ambitious studio group and must-see live act. Final Straw, their third album, is a sprawling 14-song cycle that attacks the pop song from many angles. The band isn't afraid of technology and uses an assortment of recording tricks to lend an extra urgency to these heavily melodic space-trips. "Gleaming Auction" pulses with singer Gary Lightbody sounding like Pete Yorn's Anglo-cousin, restraining his delivery until he sounds desperate. Mixer Chris Lord-Alge works over "Chocolate" with a distorted vocal and My Bloody Valentine haze, and transforms "Run" into a tense, whispered affair that recalls the melancholy of Trembling Blue Stars until it expands with the orchestral grandeur of The Bends-era Radiohead.

Best Album
by alternarock44I really love this album. I'm really into Guster and I thought I'd give Snow Patrol a try. And I really like them. My favourite songs are Run and Chocolate. These songs are different from the newer ones. These have more meaning and a slower beat. I don't really like the song Chasing Cars from Eyes Wide Open.
Great Album
by modestmzeiTunes, there is older Snow Patrol music that you don't have. Would you offer it in the US store, please?
Some songs on here... God. :O
by Nolan! :)This isn't my favorite album by them, but my favorite song by them is on here.
The song "Run" is by far one of the most beautiful songs in the world.
All of their songs are descent! But some of them are just flat out amazing.
I don't know, some of the songs aren't different. The classics are where it's at for Snow Patrol.
It's a shame they aren't to good live though.
I was dissapointed to hear the song "Run" slaughtered.
Oh well, they do a good job NOT live at least!
Good job, Snow Patrol!
:D
