[Matthew]

all three albums are amazing ^_^

[Scuzzball]

I like Snow Patrol.

My sister got their latest for her birthday on wednesday, so I think I'll have to be stealing it.

[A.I._Anon]

Love the new album to death.

[theminority]

yeah I got the new album on constant replay! It's so good! :)

[polythene_girl]

Yep got final straw there not so long ago and its brill. fav songs are chocolate, run, spitting games and wow

[Chris No1]

run is the best song on the album, i've not listened to the rest that much tho... but i know i love it all... Impulse buying's great

Chris

[Larsen B]

yep i bought it on impulse also, im soooo glad i did, its tremendously good

[Keys]

never heard anything by them...but are going to T so therefore rule :)

[Stu]

listened to their new album a couple of times at work, i like it :)

the best is the 2nd or 3rd track, can't remember what its called,
i really like it though.
IMO its the most upbeat track, whats it called? (if anyone actually understands which track I mean LOL!!!)

[Larsen B]

*grabs cd from rack*

2.Wow
3.Gleaming Auction

its hard to remember what they sound like right now as im listening to somehting else :LOL: i just remember they're all excellent

[SlackerBitch]

Amazing new album,was meant to go see them this month in Dublin but then muse announced they were coming... now its all sold out :( Wow is my favourite song on the album,but every song is great :D

[Stu]

*grabs cd from rack*

2.Wow
3.Gleaming Auction

its hard to remember what they sound like right now as im listening to somehting else :LOL: i just remember they're all excellent
cheers :)


Wow is my favourite song on the album,but every song is great
hmmm .. maybe thats the one then :)

[A.I._Anon]

Gleaming Auction is my favourite track on the whole album. But i think 'Somewhere a clock is ticking' and 'Ways and Means' are gradually working their way into my fave list. They seem to be growing on me the more i listen to them.

[jaja]

i have to admit the album is superb. my favourite track is run, but also i really like somewhere a clock is ticking, chocolate is cool as well. to tell you the truth i'm not that familiuar with the song titiles, i'm more familiuar with the track numbers. :confused:

[debz]

yeah, that album is amazing :cool:

[Secretly She Cries]

I haven't got any of their albums yet, but I really like what I've heard by them. :)

[les_muse]

hey
since most of you are snow patrol fans this thread will give you a taster of what theyre like live.i went to this gig it was so cool. www.sellme.it

[Megalomaniac]

yep i bought it on impulse also, im soooo glad i did, its tremendously good

Yuppers, same here.

I love Run and Ways And Means <3

[Muse*Rule]

just got "final straw", god damn this band is amazing!!!!
what do u guys think?

Chris

Im from NI (wer they r from) and its gr8. I saw them live as support wen i went to c embrace. Payola also supported. I have a ticket 4 the furture gig in Belfast. Not long to go now.

[MicroWavesMeInsane]

I'm well inpressed with Final Straw..
Spitting games... class song..

[MicroWavesMeInsane]

to tell you the truth i'm not that familiuar with the song titiles, i'm more familiuar with the track numbers. :confused:

Same here..... Track 3..... excellent..

[SlackerBitch]

Just want to tell any irish snow patrol fans on here...theres a snow patrol gig in Tower records,Dublin(the one off grafton street) on 27th(this saturday) at 2.30pm :D

[sarfa grall]

Does somebody knows if they have made a CD?

[Elouan]

They made 2 albums. Don't ask me how they're called, cant remember. Saw them a while ago in amsterdam, wasn't really impressed.

[Velouria]

They have released three albums in the UK. There is already a thread for them here :

http://board.muse.mu/showthread.php?t=933&highlight=Snow+Patrol

[sarfa grall]

So the final straw, is that the one with Run on it?

[Elouan]

Yeh, final straw is the last one with run and spitting games on it.

[ok_computer]

the cancelled their Lowlands gig...

[Elouan]

what a shame :rolleyes:

[Stuey]

Songs for polar bears (1st album), when it's all over we still have to clear up (2nd album) and of course final straw are all fantastic! surprised it's taken so long for them to get recognised like this, there's some great tunes on the first albums.

Saw them at isle of wight fest and they were fantastic, can't wait to see them in brixton :D

[ok_computer]

what a shame :rolleyes: I prefer the Hives above Snow Patrol :p

[Reuben]

What's their song that is playing all radio now?

[ok_computer]

I think you mean 'run'

[Stuey]

What's their song that is playing all radio now?

probably spitting games being the latest single

[Reuben]

I think it's "Run"...thanx!

[Annette]

the cancelled their Lowlands gig...
i know...really sorry for everyone whoi wanted to see them..but im quite happy with it to be honest!! cos i wanted to see them so badly! but i couldnt because i have 2 exams..but now..im not missing out!! *well...i am..NOVASTAR!!:'(* but at leat i can focus on my study books now instead of thinking what it would have been like..

[Hoppipolla]

I`m going to their concert on November 24th in the olympia. Not the greatest band, in the world, but it's just my alternate to HOTS which no one will go to. Good band. Love 'ways and means', 'run', 'velocity girl' and 'ask me how I am'.

[Fanatic]

I have "Final Straw" and it's very good. I love most of the songs on there..but on track 2 he sounds very weird - especially at the beginning.. :unsure: My fave song is either 'Spitting Games' or track 8..

[Jode]

Yeah, there's album's pretty good. Even though most of the time my brother's nicked it off me.

[So_bemused]

Snow Patrol are one of my most fav bands. Going to see them in Nov at Brixton. :). Can't wait!

[suki]

I like them. I saw their video for run, that video was really beautiful with the flares and everything.

[Elouan]

i know...really sorry for everyone whoi wanted to see them..but im quite happy with it to be honest!! cos i wanted to see them so badly! but i couldnt because i have 2 exams..but now..im not missing out!! *well...i am..NOVASTAR!!:'(* but at leat i can focus on my study books now instead of thinking what it would have been like..

Trust me, you're not missing out much by not having seen them :p

[philter]

The lead singer's live is terrible... :eek: :indiff:

[Tilbert]

im seein them on sat.

LKJHFLJMGRE;LBM\GF;BDFLV[DX'DKSMD; NGURTB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[music]

woaahh went to see them last night in ulster hall belfast fair to say one of my fave bands to see live now! gary is such a performer and gets the crowd going and such a class act live!! played all of final straw and a couple of oldies so it was sooo good!! :D :D :D the crowd went mad for them! stamping the ground noise was amazin!

[veeny]

snow patrol are quite good, i have got final straw but i haven't had a chance to listen to it properly.

[Hazel]

I love Final Straw - at the moment it alternates with Muse & Keane in my cd player.

I didn't realise the band already had 2 albums tho! Will have to check them out cos I like all the stuff i've heard by them so far and they were pretty good when I heard them play live for Jo Wiley on Radio 1.
:)

[hilary]

I only discovered them when Run was on mtv a lot, glad i did though.
Are their other two albums worth listening to?

[Jaguar]

No they are not! I dont like them compared to final straw anway.

[poisongirl]

Woop!Im going to see them today in the RDS!!cant wait!theyre one of my favourite bands! :D

[les_muse]

anyone got any live videos or bootlegs of snow patrol?

[Velocity Girl]

I am the biggest Snow Patrol fan EVER!!!!I love them!all there albums are just WOW!!! :) Gary is the coolest too!If you don't have Final Straw go buy it NOW!!!!! :cool: And there other two albums are sooooooooooooooooooooo good 2!! :) :cool:

Gary also has a side project called the Rindeer section and they are really really good too :) :)
2 albums:
Son of evil reindeer
Y'all get scared now,ya hear

[poisongirl]

woop i saw them last nite in the rds ive got some short videos of them and loadsa photos plus a few recordings(i was busy with my digital camera!)i could email them to ya les_muse or anyone else for that matter!i was really close only like two people between me and the barrier! they were sooooooooo good and u should have seen how extremly happy gary was!hes the best!well tell me if you want them pics and stuff! :D

[Hoppipolla]

They're good live. But I was sitting at the back... so... I don't know. Good for a seated show.

[Cheesy Grin]

Final Straw is my favourite album ever......cept showbiz. And how to be dead kicks severe ass

[Tangerine]

I was actually rather disappointed in their live performance when watching their stream for KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas...there just wasn't the same energy.

I've yet to get Final Straw. I keep on procrastinating it and getting other things >_>

Ooooh would you send some to me pleeeeeeeease????? :) I absolutley LOVE snow patrol as you can probably see fom my last message!! ;)

[Scuzzball]

Seeing Snow Patrol live from front row centre (16/12) was absolutely incredible.

Their DVD doesn't really do justice to such an experience, though it's still cool.

An Olive Grove Facing The Sea is such an awesome song. :)

Can take them or leave them - their nothing amazing in my opinion!

[Scuzzball]

Aww wow you are sooooo lucky!!Did you get any pictures???That is one of the BEST songs EVER!!!! :)

Nah, I didn't have any means to take photos. :(

Then I got a camera phone for Xmas, bastards.

Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking is awesome, too. I'm listening to it at the moment.

[Magdalena]

Playing at the Isle of Wight festival with REM...hmmm. Argh.

[Nibbana]

I would love to go to the Isle of Wight festival. Snow Patrol are a great band, did they win any Brit awards, I can't remember?

[Argeiphontes]

How many of you Snow Patrol fans like Iain Archer? he used to be in the band before going solo and his stuff is similar...
http://www.iainarcher.com/music.html

[poisongirl]

Oh yeah Iain Archer is cool and no sadly Snowpatrol didnt win any awards! :( But theres always next year-Im sure they wont disapperar on us now!

[Nibbana]

They should of won something, sorry but well I really dislike Franz Ferdinand, they did one good song- Take Me Out, the rest is rubbish and they won the best rock act! They are just an embarassment.

[poisongirl]

Snowpatrols bassist Mark has been kicked out of the band due to "increased pressure" says their website!! *sniff* :'(

[Velocity Girl]

I know its terrible,im sooooooooooo upset its not gonna be the same without him!! :'( I'm going to see them at the Killarney summer fest on the 1st of july so i wonder what its gonna be like!! :confused:

[Max]

I didn't expect that news at all this week. Shocked me. :eek:

[Velocity Girl]

I didn't expect that news at all this week. Shocked me. :eek:

I know i went on the website on wednesday and it was just there it was horrible!! :'( Poor mark and Snow Patrol it must be really bad,i mean Mark and Gary founded the group together and now hes gone :'( :confused: Its sad!!when did you hear about it??

[Max]

Wednesday when I got home from school.

[Velocity Girl]

Wednesday when I got home from school.

Aw me too i was all excited about going on their website cos i hadnt been on in ages and then that was there to greet me it was yuck :'(

[AndyMc]

I must be the only person who doesn't think they're brilliant.
Got the album but wasn't too impressed on the first few listens. I love the singles but i found the rest a bit samey. Had tickets to see them live in Manchester before Christmas but couldn't go due to illness. Would have liked to have seen them live though, bands i'v seen live so far usually sound a bit different to how the album sounds. Anyway, i'll be listening to it again so my opinion could change.

[~screenager~]

Trust me, they are mental live. Keep listening to Final Straw, I know it sort of drags between Wow and Spitting Games the first few times you listen to it, but the songs become more distinct as you get used to them.
My favourites off FS are Ways and Means and Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking; my faves from WIAOWSHTCU (hell it's still a mouthful) are Black and Blue, An Olive Grove Facing the Sea and One Night is Not Enough; my favourites from SFPB are Starfighter Pilot, Get Balsamic Vinegar and Last Shot Ringing in My Ears.

Have any of you heard the b-side to Spitting Games called Steal? It's brilliant.
Oh yeah, and I love PPP as well. Nearly passed out headbanging to that in the Ulster Hall. Class gig, pure pure class.

[€ngel]

It's a little boring, but not bad. :happy:

[Ribcage]

Trust me, they are mental live. Keep listening to Final Straw, I know it sort of drags between Wow and Spitting Games the first few times you listen to it, but the songs become more distinct as you get used to them.

When I first got the album last year I didn't really get into it at all. Then a few weeks later I listened again and for some reason I suddenly loved all the tracks on the album. The lyrics in many of the songs are pretty damn great. I guess my favourite are somewhere a clock is ticking, chocolate and grazed knees.

[~screenager~]

On the Amazon reviews everyone seems to love Grazed Knees, but I think it's one of the weakest songs on the album. I didn't really like Gleaming Auction either but it's better live.

[Ribcage]

On the Amazon reviews everyone seems to love Grazed Knees, but I think it's one of the weakest songs on the album.
That was the one song I heard and loved instantly (apart from run). There's something about grazed knees that just does it for me. Maybe his voice, and what he is singing about. However, I can see why some might not appreciate it. I even liked the hidden track :D

[~screenager~]

:o What hidden track? I uploaded it straight to iTunes...

[Ribcage]

I think its we can run away now that they're all dead and gone. Or is it half the fun?

[Magdalena]

I think its we can run away now that they're all dead and gone. Or is it half the fun?
Isn't it both?

[Ribcage]

Isn't it both?
My dear, I do think you are right :p

[Magdalena]

My dear, I do think you are right :p
Obviously ;)

[Ribcage]

shush :p
its still early in the morning!

[~screenager~]

The bonus tracks? I didn't know they were hidden.

[Velocity Girl]

They arent hidden they are at the end of the album! :)

[€ngel]

They are playing in Amsterdam next month. And all the tickets were sold within a day. :eek: :(

[Black Mamba]

awww...maybe you can find one but in the black market?

[[Pulkse]PeZ]

I like 'Spitting Games' but my Snow Patrol knowledge doesn't go much futher than that.

[€ngel]

awww...maybe you can find one but in the black market?
I don't want to pay too much for a ticket. Besides, I'm very low on € this month. :(

[Max]

Has anyone heard the new song You're All I Have. I think it's a great return to form and it's nice to hear Gary's newer singing voice on record this time.

[poisongirl]

I havent heard any of their new stuff yet but i cant wait to hear it ill be at dublin castle when they play in april, woop its their 1st concert for their new album! :D

[jeremy kyle]

are tickets still on sale or wats the story with them?

[poisongirl]

um no i think theyre sold out!

[cheesecheesecheese]

Yeah Snow Patrol are cool. Still listen to Final Straw now. Though it was arsey of the lead guy(Gary?!) to get rid of the other original guy (the bassist) just because he didn't think he was 'committed enough.' He'd been there since the start!!

[€ngel]

Rubbish! :( Is the new album out already?

[phonoseeker]

just got "final straw", god damn this band is amazing!!!!
what do u guys think?

Chris


just okay, but I haven't heard enough to be wild about them. creative, pretty songs, but that's all they do for me.

[cheesecheesecheese]

Spitting Games is one of the best, Run is far too depressing!

[Max]

Run is far too depressing!

:eek:

[expanding_universe]

Rubbish! :( Is the new album out already?

There's a new album?

The video for Chocolate is one of my favourites everrr.

[JoBear]

Mmm Snow Patrol. Someone traded in the UK version of 'When It's All Over We Still Have To Clear Up' so I managed to get it the other week here in New Zealand as the only album ever released here was Final Straw. Hopefully the new album will be released here too. :happy:

[glasskite]

Has that new album leaked yet?

[€ngel]

There's a new album?

The video for Chocolate is one of my favourites everrr.
It says May 1st on their site. :) I might have to go out and buy it today...

[cheesecheesecheese]

:eek:
Hehe, well depending on your mood, other time's it's beautiful.:p

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

Album just leaked..

[poisongirl]

Really?hmm where might one find it? the temptation is too much for me...

[€ngel]

I listened to the new single on their site. I must say, I wasn't impressed... :(

[JoBear]

I surprisingly managed to pick up the album in NZ today...really enjoying it so far, I really like 'Make This Go Forever', 'Set Fire to the Third Bar' and 'Chasing Cars' :happy:

[Adelie Penguin]

"Chasing Cars" and "Set the Fire to the Third Bar" really mean a lot to me. Great songs. :happy:

[Chris]

Did anyone watch the vodaphone gig in the opera house on TV on friday night?

I saw bits of it, it was good.


They only played 2 songs when I saw them last year, bu I reckon they would do a full set well.

[€ngel]

I heard the new CD isn't as good as Final Straw. :( I'm not really tempted to buy it...

[Velouria]

I heard the new CD isn't as good as Final Straw. :( I'm not really tempted to buy it...

I've got it and listened to it a couple of times, and it's not bad. There aren't many songs that have jumped out at me though, but it may need more listens.

[poisongirl]

I saw them play in Dublin Castle last week and they were amazing!gary really loves his job and it shows,hes just such a happy guy!the songs they played from the new album sounded really good live, and in one of them he sang it with such emotion i thought he was going to cry!(i was at the very front and could see him clearly)

[Caman]

My band and I covered Run last night at our gig! went really well!

[JoBear]

I heard the new CD isn't as good as Final Straw. :( I'm not really tempted to buy it...
But why does it have to be "as good" as Final Straw anyway?

I like each album on its own merits (still hung up on how good 'When It's All Over We Still Have To Clear Up' is...I've had three new Snow Patrol albums in three months, good thing about getting into bands just as they are about to release!). I really love the whole sort of focus/theme of eyes of the new album. And there's really nothing like driving to Make This Go On Forever at the moment, was in my head all day at work.

[uka]

Chasing Cars is such a nice song! it has been playing in my head all day :happy:

It has to be as good or better then previous work. If it's worse, then I'm not buying. Seems pretty logical to me. ;)

[bewwy]

i like "chocolate", "run" and "how to be dead" omg... i love em.. :happy:

[reenap]

There's no denying that Gary Lightbody has one of the most gorgeous voices..always makes me happy and calm when I want to curl up and cry...

[€ngel]

:LOL: So true. I thought their performance at Lowlands was amazing. :eek:

[Coco Mademoiselle]

Yay I'm seeing them on next sunday ! :happy: :happy: Such a shame I'll have to listen to 3 rubbish bands before they perfom :indiff: but it's worth it.:happy:

[LinMac]

Ah hell, I just found out they're playing tomorrow and the next day at the point, and its all sold out :( Anyone going to see them?

[Twinny2]

They're great i saw them a couple of weeks again, they were brilliant, both albums are so great.

[Coco Mademoiselle]

They're great i saw them a couple of weeks again, they were brilliant, both albums are so great.

so true. :happy:

I dunno why but I'm rally touched by their music :stunned: I saw them in october and I spent the whole gig crying :stunned:

[karenkaren_]

I love Snow Patrol! Eyes Open is on the 4th place on my top 5 of 2006's albuns. :)

wow! this topic is old!!!!

saw snowpatrol in dublin a few days ago - amazing!!!
any1 have bootlegs of the 23rd?

[Mya.]

God this thread is long.
Eyes Open is a great CD. I love it. You should give it a go.

[MatthewLeGrand]

Eyes open is an okay pop album.
Not more to me.

It can be different, but I always hope it's not less then the previous one. That's all I'm saying. ;)

And I like it, ofcourse! :D

[Girish]

Personally, I believe Snow Patrol are an overrated band. They have just managed to live off 2 singles - Run + (especially) Chasing Cars.

Enlighten me, if you think differently.

[Enemy]

Overrated yes... but they do have a few good songs, so they're not shit in my opinion.

[Chizzleface]

There's a snow patrol thread. But Snow Patrol are shit.

[Judderman]

A band for middle aged couples, like keane are.

[~screenager~]

Their older stuff is really good though. Especially the second and third albums. Eyes Open only has about four good songs and for some weird reason known only to the record company, none of them were released. They never release their best songs.

[musiclover85]

i like a few of their songs, like open yr eyes and chasing cars...
i will get bored with it after listened to them for a few times..:)

[Crizzlesnaps]

Awful, pitiful disgusting band. They are horrible and i hate them and they suck.

[MrsP]

I despise Snow Patrol with a passion. They're bland and dull and no better than the likes of Westllife.

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

Chasing Cars makes me want to rip out my ears just to stop listening to it, the stupid verses and that dumb key change over and over is just so fucking annoying. But I do like some of their older stuff and the song 'How To Be Dead' is lovely.

[Raiko]

I'm not a huge fan, but I don't mind them. I've no reason to hate them.

[boab]

Their older stuff is really good though. Especially the second and third albums. Eyes Open only has about four good songs and for some weird reason known only to the record company, none of them were released. They never release their best songs.


Their early stuff is far superior to the last two albums I would say. Songs For Polar Bears is their best album IMO.

[musiclover85]

their song, signal fire for the spiderman 3 soundtrack is alright ...

[garseys]

I despise Snow Patrol with a passion. They're bland and dull and no better than the likes of Westllife.

thats exactly how i feel
a boy band that plays guitars:rolleyes:

[deadbeat dolly]

i don't mind them, i like some of their slightly older stuff, that song for the spiderman film is surprising dull :sleepy:

[E-Mused]

Overrated yes... but they do have a few good songs, so they're not shit in my opinion.


Exactly the same here. I really do like Run. Chasing Cars was alright but has just been overplayed now. Couple of their other songs are quite good, but apart from that nah.

[Maximus]

thats exactly how i feel
a boy band that plays guitars:rolleyes:

Are you serious!? I am not a fan but calling them a boyband with guitars is ridiculous! They actually have to play their own instruments and have had a hard time before Final Straw. Now with McFly I could understand that statement.

[Caff]

Painfully average and dull. It took them so long to get noticed for a reason...

[Sancezzio]

Me, on Snow Patrol:
"zzzzzZZZZzzZZzzzzzZZZZ"

[Raiko]

I like Snow Patrol. Caught part of their IoW fest set on tv the other day and it was one of the best performances from a band over the entire weekend. Clearly not as good as Muse or Kasabian lol, or even Keane for that matter. But they could at least say they were better than The Rolling Stones on the day though. I was shocked to hear The Rolling Stones were meant to be the arguably best live band of all time and yet they sounded awful. Just like the majority of bands shown on tv.

Go Snow Patrol!

[Max]

Snow Patrol's last album was poor, Final Straw is so much better. That and live they impressed me a bit. They can headline festivals, even if the music is a bit...shit.

[Stecloud]

'Chasing Cars' being played on almost every TV Drama for the past year hasn't done them any favours, but aside from that even I don't think they're anything special. They write good pop music, that's about it.

[Obi]

I almost forgot to post this ages ago.

They had a new album out recently...

It's not brilliant but better than Eyes Open with "Chasing Cars" which drove me up the wall and still does.

Does anyone still listen to these? Favourite song is "Somewhere a Clock is Ticking".

[DownAndOut]

I like Snow Patrol based on Final Straw and Eyes Open. The latter album is excellent but the former is a bit inconsistent. I do love Run though. Having said all this, it's clear that:

Muse > Coldplay > Snow Patrol :)

[InsertCreativeNameHere]

The first album was fantastic. They had a really great sound, pop/rock with some nice electronic elements and then suddenly they went all cheesy ballads and boring pop :(

[darkshines9]

The only songs I really like are 'Chasing Cars' and 'Set the Fire to the Third Bar'. Both are amazing songs, very beautiful.

[JoBear]

really liked their first 3 albums then it went downhill from there. thanks greys anatomy.

The first album was fantastic. They had a really great sound, pop/rock with some nice electronic elements and then suddenly they went all cheesy ballads and boring pop :(

I have to slightly disagree. Their first two albums are pretty pants. Their newer stuff is just pants in a different way.

Final Straw ftw.

Oh man, new Snow Patrol tour with The Reindeer Section songs & guests.
So tempteddd, I love The Reindeer Section

I'm trying to decide what album to get. What's the best in your opinion?

[DownAndOut]

I quite like the new single Called Out In The Dark:

But I'm irritated because I can't think which song (probably 80s) the vocals remind me of. :mad:

Do you know what they're likely to play? Are their setlists as bland as Muse's or do they mix them up?

My tickets arrived yesterday for the Birmingham gig on the 4th February. Really looking forward to it. :awesome:
