@ 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 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. :)

Oh, Mr Bernard, so you like Black And Blue and On/Off as much as I do?

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?

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:

Do your Top 10 then, Bianca. :P

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 ...

Chocolate on the reserve list isn't right! :snobby: *turns is on*

That's a good top 10, Bianca! :)

 

I can't believe Tired was never properly released, it's such a good song too. :)

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:

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

@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:

: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

What I said to Jo. It's in the Mulitmedia Section I believe.

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! :(

^: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!!

WOW!!! I just got my team... :D :D :D Think I might play it.... :D :D :D

I'd join your team Jo, but I know nothing about the guys. :disappointed:

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

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

Would love to join but I don't think I know too much ... :cry:

I can't be bothered to be that clued up about any band, including Coldplay.;)

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. :)

@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. :)
