Great, great live band. Probably the best band in the country at the moment but will I buy the album.....? No, and I don't know why.

Good piece in the Tribune on them last weekend by the way.
I just don't get them that much, enjoyed them the one time I saw them live though. |

From the Tribunes review of Snowpatrol in NYC ... 
"Spare a thought, however, for supporting act Republic Of Loose, who . . . minus the evangelical following they pull back home . . . fell somewhat flat with the laid back NYC crowd, despite lead singer Michael Pyro's reliably witty banter.
Calling your crowd a bunch of 'homos' doesn't necessarily always do the trick, dude." |

Good review of the album featuring my new favourite collective noun of all time:
"a tracksuit of gurriers" |

Misogynistic and homophobic. Interesting. |

I actually think the first album is far better. Maybe I need to let it grow on me more but it seems overly long and not as many stand-alone tunes that made their debut so impressive. |

nah, I think the production is far superior on this one and even the sounds are way better, 'I'm Greedy' is fantastic.
Saw them in Eamonn Dorans a couple of weeks ago, but look forward to seeing them in a better and less crowded venue in the very near future. It's a pity that the record is only getting a release in Ireland at the moment, a simultaneous one in Britain would have been great. |
