4.5 stars would be a more appropriate score for this album, but in good mathematical practice I have rounded up not down.

If you like Snow Patrol, this is a very good album. Any of the tracks could easily have come from their last album "Eyes Open", and the rockier ones could have been from "Final Straw". Does it have more of an accoustic or mellow balance than "Eyes Open"? A track by track by analysis may lead you to that conclusion, but I am not left with that impression having it on my ipod and in the car.

All of which is great, you know what you are getting. And if you played their last two albums to death because you loved them so much, you will be in heaven.

HOWEVER, the difference between ... Read More:

I suppose, with any artist and any album, if you get one really good song that you can take with you, and have it for ages to listen to, then i suppose it must therefore be ok. This album has four great songs. Track one and of course Chocolate, Spitting Games and Run,which are catchy. Lead vocalist has a beautiful and strong Irish voice, which is lovely.
Just disappointed with the rest of album, you sometimes have to ask, why it is some artist can;t just 12 truely fabulous tracks.

Like real Stars that burn out, or implode. i was hoping that Snow Patrol would not be one of these. Apart from a few goods songs, i never quite see the point of Snow Patrol, giving rather plain songs. This album is no expection and is imensely plain. One of the greatest sadness, is that in bedsits around the world there are people writting better songs and lyrics than these, but of course, those people are totally annonomous, and may never to be found by record companies.
Track 1 & 2 are commercial and ok, but actucally, surprisingly, right at the end the three songs, merging into one lasting over 14 minutes for me, appeare to be the real talent of Snow Patrol and offers a glimpse into where they should push themselves.These three songs are great! ... Read More:

This is in my opinion the best Snow Patrol album. It needs about 2 or 3 listens to grow on you, then you will appreciate the beauty of these 14 simple songs. They are often built around simple guitaring, such as the quiter but brilliant velocity girl and 15 minutes old. NYC only has 3 lines and is very repetitive but stands out as one of the best tracks. the more upbeat Downhill from here, Starfighter pilot, Little hide and 100 things you should have done in bed are also great catchy tunes. All in all this is a must buy for Snow Patrol fans.

6.When It's All Over We Still Have to Clear Up by: Snow Patrol

Music : When It's All Over We Still Have to Clear Up
Like many of the other this albim's other reviewers I was initailly disappointed by this album but after giving it a little time came to appreciate it greatly. It seems that the main problem with this collection of songs is that they have either not been recorded or produced very well and in many instances you have to strain your ears to catch Gary Lightbody's lyrics. Often a catchy bassline is only almost discernable and the whole thing lacks a clarity of sound.

However for all this the basslines ARE catchy and Lightbody's Lyrics ARE worth straining for. You can just imagine that if the band had recorded some of these songs recently that they could easily be anthems as potent as 'Run' or 'Signal Fire'.

I have to say that this is probably ... Read More:

Snow Patrol, when they were raw.
Granted they hadn't been together too long before they released this, but damn it's good!
If you're looking for a more hard edge, less "neat", more raggedy Snow Patrol with a few less of those slow anthemic songs-than look no further.
Personal favourites include: Starfighter Pilot, and Raze the City.
Go for it, you won't regret it.
