When This CD Is Over You Must Play It Again
" This was back when the band were a trio instead of a quintet: singer/guitarist Gary Lightbody, bassist Mark McClelland, and drummer Jonny Quinn (with Lightbody & McClelland playing various keyboards). This is a 2006 re-release of Snow Patrol's 2nd album, 2001's "When It's All Over We Still Have To Clear Up. This is definitely a more raw-sounding Snow Patrol, both musically and lyrically, as the band would become fully powered-up on their next two releases, "Final Straw" and "Eyes Open. " But "When It's All Over. . . " is still a great album in it's own right, with lots of powerful songs. Memorable tracks include the rockers "Never Gonna Fall In Love Again," "Ask Me How I Am" and "Making Enemies," the beautiful "An Olive Grove Facing The Sea," and the simple but hypnotic "Firelight. " And for extra value, this re-issue comes with four excellent bonus tracks (my favorite being "In Command Of Cars,") and a rare music video of "Ask Me How I Am" that you can play on your computer. Although there was still room for Snow Patrol to grow as a musical unit at this point in time, "When It's All Over We Still Have To Clear Up" is an amazing collection of songs by this very talented group.


Progression is pleasing to the ear....
Then I bought EYES OPEN for my birthday, and was thrilled with yet another amazing album from what I consider one of my favorite bands ever (right up there with GOO GOO DOLLS and COLDPLAY). First I bought FINAL STRAW a year and half ago and I was constantly playing it in the car and in my dorm room (great chilling/driving music). So naturally, when I listened to these two back-to-back, I went on a sort of SNOW PATROL binge and JUST HAD to buy anything else they had put out. I found out about WHEN IT'S ALL OVER and another early release and bought them for a great combo price.

As I reviewed for POLAR BEARS, this is another great early look into the awesomeness that is SNOW PATROL. It's not nearly the impact of FINAL STRAW or EYES OPEN, but it's the progression towards it and so it works. Definitely a must-have for any SNOW PATROL aficionado or aspiring one.

Highly recommend playing this POLAR BEARS, WHEN IT'S OVER, FINAL STRAW, and EYES OPEN in a single listening - it makes for great music to listen to on a solo road trip or just chilling in the dorm room.
