Release Date: Oct 28, 2008; Lead Performance: Snow Patrol; Genre: Rock
How does one follow up a platinum
smash (2006's Eyes Open) and an inescapable single (''Chasing
Cars'')? The Irish quintet Snow Patrol
has summoned a safe solution:
Give the people what they want. A Hundred Million Suns is rife with the kind of midtempo
rock ballads that dreamy
rom-com climaxes are made of. The first single, ''Take Back the City,'' is decidedly more raucous, but the bulk of the album belongs to shivery numbers like ''If There's
a Rocket Tie Me to It,'' ''Lifeboats,'' and ''The Golden Floor'' — heart-swellers, all. B+ Download This: Listen to tracks from A Hundred Million Suns on the audio player on the band's official site
