We took a dare on
Snow Patrol and it wasn't too bad.

This album has actually really taken me by surprise. When it first came out,
I sort of assumed it was a hard rock/nu-metal thing like Nickelback since
the single was called "Spitting Games" and the album art could've just as easily
been Seether or something. But someone told me they were brit-pop, and I saw
that they put some albums out on Jeepster, so I decided they might be worth
a listen after all... and I learned that "Spitting Games" was in fact one of
those
"that-song-I-hear-on-the-radio-and-really-like-but-I-don't-know-what-it-is" songs. We got an extra promo at work so I snagged it and now I'm
listening to it all the time. The power ballad "Run", which is the second single
that's finally turning the album into something of a hit, isn't that interesting
to me but most of the rest of the disc is pretty fantastic. A lot of people
compare it to Coldplay but it's much rockier and more diverse to my ears.
Definitely worth taking a risk, especially given a low introductory price at
most stores. --Jason
