Thoughts

Oof, this is a good album. I don’t quite know why I didn’t do this one when I have previously dipped into Snow Patrol’s back catalogue because it’s stacked full of great singles with lots of amazing work in between. There’s no real filler, and it’s all very moving and emotional.

Snow Patrol are another entry into the list of albums that have a run of three great songs too, Spitting Games, Chocolate and Run, making ten minutes of exceptional music.

Rating: 5 / 5
