A Hundred Million Suns
Snow Patrol
A Hundred Million Suns contains a mixture of indie-rock and pop making an album true from their background. Like many of Snow Patrol’s tunes the first track If There's a Rocket Tie Me to It has a great anticipation at the beginning and also has really detailed lyrics adding to the song’s feel.
The first single off A Hundred Million Suns was Take Back the City; a rocky track fill of vibrance and contentment. Disaster Button is a great track that performers and us “giggers” will be able to picture the scene easily of experiencing a concert.
My favourite track off this album would have to be The Planets Bend Between Us. Snow Patrol ‘s lead vocalist and writer Gary Lighbody just has the knack of writing beautiful ballads that make you go all weak at the knees and The Planets Bend Between Us is one of these tracks.
Snow Patrol have used some electronic as well as acoustic sounds on A Hundred Million Sons. They seem to write tracks provoking the five senses; sight, taste, feel, smell and hear. While listening to A Hundred Million Sons you’re constantly transported to different scenarios with all your senses stimulated.
A Hundred Million Suns finishes with an epic sixteen minute track called The Lightning Strike: What If This Storm Ends?/The Sunlight Through The Flags/Daybreak. Lighbody has cleverly written the track about three stages of a loving relationship.
I give A Hundred Million Suns three and a half frangipanis.
