October 11, 200917 yr @Bianca- which early album would you recommend I get first, Songs for Polar Bears or We Still Need to Clear Up?
October 11, 200917 yr The ‘Up To Now’ tracklisting is: CD1 1. Chocolate 2. Chasing Cars 3. Crack The Shutters 4. Set The Fire To The Third Bar 5. Crazy In Love 6. Just Say Yes 7. Batten Down The Hatch 8. You’re All I Have 9. Hands Open 10. Cartwheels 11. The Planets Bend Between Us (2009 Version) 12. Ask Me How I Am 13. On-Off 14. Making Enemies 15. Run (Live at the Union Chapel) CD2 1. Take Back the City 2. Shut Your Eyes 3. An Olive Grove Facing The Sea (2009 Version) 4. Run 5. Give Me Strength 6. Signal Fire 7. Spitting Games 8. Open Your Eyes 9. Dark Roman Wine 10. Fifteen Minutes Old 11. You Are My Joy 12. Golden Floor 13. Starfighter Pilot 14. PPP 15. Chasing Cars (Live at the Union Chapel) @ Jen (I hope I'm allwoed to call you Jen :)) Hm, hard to tell because I got both the same time and mix them up everytime I listen to them. But I would say start with When It's All Over and if you like the album, get Songs For Polarbears. In my opinion When It's All Over is a bit more like the Snow Patrol you already know. If you're not sure, give the tracks on both albums a listen on YouTube. ;)
October 11, 200917 yr I would say start with When It's All Over... it's a bit more like the Snow Patrol you already know. Yeah, I'd agree with Miss Bianca here. (:P) I think When It's All Over is Snow Patrol's best album. :)
October 11, 200917 yr Well, I'll put it this way, three of my five top Snow Patrol songs are from When It's All Over. :) 1. The Lightning Strike 2. An Olive Grove Facing The Sea (:heart:) 3. On/Off 4. Spitting Games 5. Fifteen Minutes Old How about you?
October 11, 200917 yr Oh, God, I LOVE Fifteen Minutes Old! :cheesy: Don't make me pick my Top 5 - I always end up making my Top 10. :lol:
October 11, 200917 yr Because I would end up listing almost every Snow Patrol song, I take the Top 10 from my iTunes, okay? 1. Chocolate (it was Shut Your Eyes for a looooooooooooong time but I don't listen to it as much as I do listen to Chocolate) 2. Just Say Yes 3. Brave 4. Signal Fire 5. Disaster Button 6. Tired 7. You're All I Have 8. Hands Open 9. Shut Your Eyes 10. Tiny Little Fractures But there are definetely missing: Warmer Climate, Cubicles and Perfect Little Secret! :lol: I warned you how it would end up. :rolleyes: Sorry ...

October 12, 200917 yr I really hope there will be a dvd!! I'd love that! The Killers DVD coming now, then if we'd get a coldplay and a snow patrol one too :escaping: Life's great :wacky: +1 for that! Snow Patrol + Coldplay CD = <3 :cool: @ Jen (I hope I'm allwoed to call you Jen :)) Hm, hard to tell because I got both the same time and mix them up everytime I listen to them. But I would say start with When It's All Over and if you like the album, get Songs For Polarbears. In my opinion When It's All Over is a bit more like the Snow Patrol you already know. If you're not sure, give the tracks on both albums a listen on YouTube. ;) i haven't listened to When It's All Over, but from what i've heard on Songs For Polarbears, i'd say that the Snow Patrol then sounded a lot grungier compared to the Snow Patrol from Final Straw onwards & even more so if compared to A Hundred Million Suns. but i personally like it when bands show a progression or evolution in their music than just keep to 1 type of sound. & i think the pre-Final Straw albums are from the era before Nathan joined & started contributing to the music writing anyway...sorry if i've got it wrong, i'm pretty hazy about bands' timeline/discography in general. @TickingClock : you have Cubicles??? SQUEEE!!! could you tell me where i can find it...pleeeease? i've only ever heard it from a YouTube video of the acoustic set they played in some record store in Nashville, but i loved it anyway! :D
October 12, 200917 yr @Bianca- of course you're allowed to call me Jen! :P And everyone... thanks for the recommendation. Looks like I'll be looking into When It's All Over We Still Have to Clear Up :D @Kimmi- I'm with you, I definitely appreciate when a band evolves... it gets boring otherwise! People are always complaining that Coldplay are not the same Coldplay who did Parachutes... and they're right, they're not! And I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing! I mean, it's been nearly 10 years- their lives have changed dramatically and so should their music! But that's my opinion, anyway... :shrug:
October 12, 200917 yr :P That's a good top 10, Bianca! :) I can't believe Tired was never properly released, it's such a good song too. :) Thanks! :nice: Definetely, Tired could have been on like ... a UK version of A Hundred Million Suns! They did this with Warmer Climate and In My Arms on Eyes Open, so why not on AHMS? I don't have ANY Snow Patrol B-tracks!!!! :bigcry: I feel like a piece of me is missing :( I've never found them anywhere! Does anyone have a link where I could download some? :curtain: :P or do they even have that many? Look through the Snow Patrol Thread in the Multimedia Section, that's were I got most of the b-sides from. Though I got Cubicles from the Crack The Shutters Single. :D @TickingClock : you have Cubicles??? SQUEEE!!! could you tell me where i can find it...pleeeease? i've only ever heard it from a YouTube video of the acoustic set they played in some record store in Nashville, but i loved it anyway! :D What I said to Jo. It's in the Mulitmedia Section I believe.
October 12, 200917 yr Morning, all! :nice: You peeps in Europe best get on this: http://www.snowpatrol.com/pubquiz.html I haven't been able to locate the terms and conditions, but I doubt they'd fly my butt all the way out there from the States! :(
October 12, 200917 yr ^:dance: I'm no expert, Johku, but if you need another person, I'll join you! :D edit: I take it back... You should form a coldplaying team with those on here who really know their stuff! I'd love it if you guys won!!
October 12, 200917 yr I don't know that much but I love the band and I'd love to be in a team if anyone is looking for another member :D
October 12, 200917 yr Well unfortunately, I think I'd be a drag on any know-it-all team. I know the band members' names, and I know the albums, and that's it. None of the fancy background info I know about Coldplay. That said, considering it's a FACEBOOK challenge, there's probably plenty of teams who don't know crap about the band. Still, gonna pass. Best of luck to all who enter, though! :D
October 12, 200917 yr Well, Ilione just made me join, so I have no chance to do otherwise. :lol: She says that it would be the perfect occasion to win something like this and proof our knowledge about Snow Patrol for the two of us. :D All we need now are three other members. :)
October 12, 200917 yr @Bianca: If there was someone who really knows a lot about the boys, then that'd definitely be you! :hug: @johkujii: I'd love to join your team! :dance: I mean, if it'd be okay for everyone ;) I do have a ticket for the show on the 23rd, but I think the seats in the boxes would be much nicer than what I've got. Plus meeting the boys like that would just be the icing on the cake. :cheesy: Still can't believe that there's been so much going on in this thread while I've been away! :stunned: I'm just about to catch up with everything the best I can as I'd really love to comment bits of it here and there. :)
