Snow Patrol - A Hundred Million Suns


This is the fifth full-length for the band whose members hail from both Scotland and Ireland. They have experienced a massive increase in their fanbase due to the single "Chasing Cars" off of their last album, Eyes Open. Their sound can be classified as poppy alt-rock that is fit to be played to an arena of fans with its full sound. When they released their third album, Final Straw, in 2004, they were often compared to Coldplay, and this sound remains. They are also similar to the newer work that U2 has put out. Overall, I'd classify this as makeout rock. Good for background music to your romantic times, but it won't draw you away too much from what your main focus is.
