Re: "The Official Snow Patrol Thread"
I don't know about that. Maybe the singles were accessible but I haven't heard to many songs like Make This Go On Forever and Set The Fire to the Third Bar really has a cool weird vibe to it. I don't think something lacks originality just because it had more accessibility than the earlier work though. To me that's progress to get a style that stands out and keep those qualities while at the same time allowing the listener into the music. Earlier Snow Patrol was way to flat sounding like they were trying to hard to not be mainstream. Just my opinion though.
You're right. "Can't stand" is a little harsh. They has so much potential after the first 2 albums but they went for a mainstream sound with no originality.
