SNOW PATROL - A Hundred Million Suns - (Polydor/Fiction/Geffen Records)

The album is preceded by the fantastic single "Take Back The City", which comes with a video shot in East London courtesy of acclaimed video director Alex Courtes (White Stripes "Seven Nation Army").

Gary Lightbody (vocals/guitars) says, ""I'm so proud of this record. Everybody played out of their skin. Garret (Jacknife Lee) continued his progression from maverick genius to one of the best producers in the world. Musically, lyrically and sonically the best record we've made"

The Grammy-nominated band's fifth studio album was recorded throughout the Summer of 2008 in Hansa Studios in Berlin (where Bowie recorded "Low," "Heroes" and "Lodger") and at Grouse Lodge deep in the Irish countryside. Written by Snow Patrol, the album was produced by Garret "Jacknife" Lee (Bloc Party, REM, U2).

Snow Patrol are one of the biggest selling UK bands this decade and A Hundred Million Suns follows up the 2006 Number One, seven-times platinum phenomenon Eyes Open which sold 2.1 million copies in the UK and over 1 million in the US. Eyes Open achieved platinum awards across the world from the US and Canada to Germany, Australia and beyond, selling over 4.5 million copies. Their single "Chasing Cars" has just received its 2 millionth download in the US.

Comment: I was already a fan of Snow Patrol, and this CD is great follow-up to their "Eyes Open" album. Crack the Shutters makes the album worth it everytime. -jimmy

Summary: One of the best CDs of 2008
Comment: This is my first Snow Patrol album and it was an impulse buy. This was one of those "surprise me" things I do.

I wasn't surprised, rather I was swept off my feet. One beautiful album. I love all of the songs. I've read reviews of long-time fans, some I agree with, some I do not. But take my word on this, from someone expecting nothing ... I got so much more. Really worth the gamble.

Comment: I have 2 other Snow Patrol CD's (Eyes Open & Final Straw) and I felt this was without a doubt their best album to date. The band really shows their musical flexibility. Snow Patrol shows their ability to rock with Please Take These Photos From My Hand & Disaster Button with one of my favorites being. the 3rd part of Lightning Strikes, Daybreak. On the other hand if you want to slow it down a bit just listen to the melodic Set Down Your Glass. Overall a great CD.
