    In this 30-track collection marks Snow Patrol as a band backed with some serious songwriting heft.
  2. Mid-career retrospective captures SP’s inner conflicts.
  3. This is less a traditional retrospective of the band’s oeuvre than it is an impassioned and varied argument for a wider reconsideration of that oeuvre.
