A Hundred Million Suns - Snow Patrol

Snow patrols rise to stratospheric levels of fame began with the release of their track "run" early in 2003. MTV, Sunday morning, hung over, a video about a motorbike and a man with an amazing distinctively outstanding voice. It was that moment there, RIGHT there that I fell in lyrical love and Run remains to this day a song that carries immense emotional significance for me. Lead singer Gary is a strange old bean and as mad as a jumping one, but a singer who is as entertaining as they come. He carries out every performance whether it be a concert, tv appearance or in the studio with such an air of fun and joviality that his listeners cant help but smile. His ...  Read the complete review

As a fellow Northern Ireland-er I am proud of the great music that Snow Patrol have so far produced. Run was the first song that caught my attention, or maybe it was the eerie video for it with the guy holding the flare in the dark, but their music has grown on me ever since. I know that a lot of people do not like their pop/rock cross over, but I think they do not take themselves uber seriously and have so far in my opnion produced good listening records, with a few anthems thrown in for good measure (see Chasing Cars as the follow up anthem to Run). On a Hundred Million Suns (a bit of an odd title if you ask me, but perhaps there is a deeper meaning I have ...  Read the complete review

A HUNDRED MILLION SUNS is the title of British indie rock band SNOW PATROL's album. The album features 11 tracks which I will review. The opening song IF THERE'S A ROCKET TIE ME TO IT is a slow song which gently builds to a belting chorus which is very uplifting with positive lyrics and a belting finale. CRACK THE SHUTTERS has a fantastic intro which then is kicked up a notch by the vocals with an awe inspiring chorus which has a wonderful message. TAKE BACK THE CITY is a fast paced song with fantastic instrumental work that is turned up a notch at the chorus and has a feel good factor. LIFEBOATS is a mellow tune with ...  Read the complete review

Snow patrol: A Hundred million suns If theres a rocket tie me to it: This is a great opening track. It has great lyrics and it builds up to a simple but effective beat. It's mid tempo is just right and i recommend this for any one to listen to. Crack the shutters: It starts with a nice piano tune and soft lyrics. It has an amazing chorus and the lead singer has an amazing voice. its not so much a soft beat to say but it is good. Take back the city: Nice acoustics at the beginning of the track and when the singing starts it sounds a bit like the kaiser cheifs but that soon dissapears. Awesomw rhythm to get your head going. i ...  Read the complete review
