Crack The Shutters, Disaster Button and The Lightning Strike are my favorites so far, in addition to Take Back the City.
 
Take Back The City is great on the album, its not like Vertigo per say, where once you listen to the rest of the album it over takes the song. I think it fits perfectly.

I've listened to this all the way through once so far.

However, the 16 minute effort that closes the album was very impressive. This is a break from the norm for them, and I thought it was done well. Perhaps they should look into doing more longer pieces like this in the future.

:hyper: ooh I'm excited!!
 
Fuck, Take Back The City is catchy. It's some good shit though. Reminds of some of that brill middle-of-the road mid 90's Amercian post-grunge stuff

I would have to agree with this. Disaster Button and The Lightning Strike are probably the top two for me.

Funny how they are the last two songs.

So a strong beginning, and an excellent ending, but the middle is a bit murky for me. It kind of plods along a bit during that stretch.
 
not sure if someone posted this or not but you can listen to the album in full on SP's official website. You just have to be registered as a member (no cost) to listen..
 
so far i'm torn on this one. it's not as catchy as their last two, which may end up being a good thing. The song "Lifeboat" may be their best song ever. at the same time, the album didn't send chills down my spine whatsoever.
 
Am I the only one getting a "Beautiful Day" vibe from "If There's a Rocket Tie Me To It"?


Also, why is this getting such negative feedback from "professional" reviewers? None of the reviews I've read have been that detailed or well written, but bad press doesn't help. Some of these same people raved for Eyes Open, this album is far superior.
 
a month after this album has been released, i must say that Snow Patrol now bores me. "Lifeboats" is the only song i like from this album, otherwise it just seems like they're recycling leftovers from their previous album.

very dissapointed. :down:
 
Once again I think I read a review that summed up what I think about SP nowadays, no they aren't totally talented or innovative (although Final Straw was at least a great creative effort that made them stand out) but they know how to mix sounds in gorgeous ways and make very listenable music, which can be appreciated for what it is. I enjoy all the songs really, with The Lightning Strike and Rocket being the standouts for me.

can't do the DC show cuz I'll be in NY at Giants Stadium for umm some band named U2.

But I am thinking the Philly show the next day, the 26th...:hmm:
 
Conveniently skipping Boston :cries:

I know I'll get to see them with U2, but I'd like to see them in their own element for a whole show.
