May 3, 20187 yr I sincerely find that to be an exaggeration though of course taste is subjective; it probably is my favourite since that era though. Maybe 8 or 9/10 - on a par with "Crack The Shutters" and "Just Say Yes" since that album.
May 3, 20187 yr truly loving Don't give in, easily best song of 2018 so far, my #1 by miles right now but sure taste is subjective, you mention crack the shutters, which is easily my least favourite SP single I actually realised their last 11/10 song was New York, that was a masterpiece that sadly no one cared about
May 3, 20187 yr "Crack The Shutters" is basically "Chasing Cars" meets "Chocolate" though :P There is no such thing as 11/10, that always makes me feel awkward :lol: "New York" is a nice song, I like how it builds. A Snow Patrol rate could be in order.
May 8, 20187 yr Author https://twitter.com/garysnowpatrol/status/993911609536983040 Snow Patrol will be on Jool Holland tonight performing Chasing Cars and new song Empress. On the extended edition on Sunday, they will also be performances of Heal Me and Life on Earth.
May 8, 20187 yr but sure taste is subjective, you mention crack the shutters, which is easily my least favourite SP single But that was infinitely better than the first single from that album! ^_^
May 16, 20187 yr From the songs from this album i have heard, Snow Patrol look set to release a very strong album.
May 25, 20187 yr Author I'm loving this album! I definitely think overall it will be one of my favourite albums of theirs.
May 25, 20187 yr This is a decent album on first listen. All of the promo tracks have grown on me considerably from the first time I heard them - following in the footsteps of how I felt about "Don't Give In". "What If This Is All The Love You Ever Get?" in particular - what a stunning song! Have completely fallen in love with it.
May 30, 20187 yr not listening to the album, but I've heard the lead single 'Don't Give In' a few times on Radio X now and it's becoming a grower, shame they're not cool enough for Radio 1 / the singles chart anymore as it's quite a decent comeback.
June 1, 20187 yr The singles have deserved better than what they have achieved in terms of chart performance and sales but is is a strong album return from them. Disappointing to see The Greatest Showman soundtrack beat them to number 1 at the last minute due to their streaming sales.
June 3, 20187 yr I'm enjoying this album so far, I feel like my biggest issue with it is pacing. Basically the whole first 6 songs seem completely out of order which is strange. Empress is my favourite so far, it hasn't taken 10+ listens to get into like Don't Give In has either. A Dark Switch is my least favourite as it's so poppy and again out of place
June 3, 20187 yr Don't Give In deserved better airplay, even R2 added it very very late and rather low

A Dark Switch is my least favourite as it's so poppy and again out of place "Empress" and "What If This Is All The Love You Ever Get?" are my 2 standouts. I haven't noticed the issue you're stating but I'll have a look out next time! I felt that way about George Ezra's "Wanted On Voyage" and I used to alter the tracklisting a bit to suit my needs. We can do that these days though which is great :)
June 4, 20187 yr Life On Earth is good but it was the wrong song to open the album with. I think it was more suited to be the second last or last track on the album. There is a superb run of songs from Dont Give In right through To What If This Is All The Love, this is the strongest section of the album. The remaining songs are quality too but would rank lower than the aforementioned.
