Reviews
3 stars out of 5 -- "The album closes with 'The Lightning Strike,' sixteen minutes of Philip Glass style pianos which again demand we recognise there's more to this band than successful corporate rock.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Snow Patrol doesn't seem as beholden to big hooks on album five, but they still keep things likably grand.", 3 stars out of 5 -- "Snow Patrol are all about big: echoing soundscapes; gargantuan guitar crescendos -- emotions that can be described only in terms of mythology and astronomy.", "The bulk of the album belongs to shivery numbers like 'If There's a Rocket Tie Me to It,' 'Lifeboats,' and 'The Golden Floor' -- heartswellers, all." -- Grade: B+
