    Poor. It seems Snow Patrol have decided to copy cliched melodies and predictable song structures to appeal to a wider audience... this isn't anything I haven't heard before and been bored of already... eventhough Gary Lightbody's voice remains amazing, i'd much rather stick with their previous albums where they, at least, had some original material

    The fact that the music, vocals and melodies are stunning is just icing on the cake - a cake that is crumbling before your eyes.

    Snow Patrol sound terribly awkward when they play loud and fast.
