Amazon.co.uk Review
The Snow Patrol we meet on A Hundred Million Suns is a band facing the same dilemma that Coldplay met on 2008’s Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends; having conquered the world with a rousing, melancholy brand of MOR indie, where now? On the surface, A Hundred Million Suns seems to suggest, nowhere especially new: producer Jacknife Lee, who first worked with the band on 2003's Final Straw and went on to work with the likes of U2 and REM returns to the fold; and an opening brace of songs suggest that a successful formula--chiming guitars, gentle builds, and Gary Lightbody's quavering, tremulous vocal--persists. Still, "Take Back The City", a windswept, electronic-tinged rocker, rather does for this band what "Dakota" did for Stereophonics, proving that a spot of sleek, synthetic motorik is not beyond their grasp, and there's a new, bright optimism to Lightbody's lyrics that sets the likes of "The Planets Bend Between Us" in light relief to some of Snow Patrol's earlier work. If you want experiment, though, you'll have to wait until the closing "The Lightning Strike", a 16-minute track in three parts that investigates Phillip Glass-style minimalism and electronic beats with some aptitude. --Louis Pattison

1:55
I've always liked Snow Patrol but something has always held me back from loving them.

This is a good album - and there are some great moments if you dig deep. Engines 1:55 - sudden transformation into a beautiful melody. Does it for me driving to work in the morning.

'You know I love you like an ancient history brought to life' - nice line.

Good Stuff!
Despite the pettines from other reviewers who have given this a bad review simply for being Snow Patrol, I actually think it's a good album.

I think they have provided a strong assortment of songs that follows on from Eyes Open. I wouldn't say this was an outstanding album but it is worth a listen. It is an album which requires a few listens before judging it.

The tracks which stand out are "Take Back The City," "Disaster Button" and "The Lighting Strike."
