Just got my hands on 2 of Snow Patrol’s albums, Final Straw and Eyes Open, a few days ago and I’m enjoying both of them very much. I like how they can sound so simple and yet so uplifting and majestic/epic.
In the words of MacKenzie Wilson from allmusic.com:
“Gary Lightbody (the lead singer) writes songs that are from the heart and true to self-reflection without getting too sappy and too overjoyed.”
”They are the kind of band that embraces simplicity as beautiful and human flaws as art.”
I haven’t had time to fully digest the whole 2 albums yet, but current favourite tracks include Chocolate, All I Have and Open Your Eyes.
