iPsy Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I've just read a brilliant article about them playing at the Royal Albert Hall, and the changes they are making and everything! It was a good read! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilione Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I've just read a brilliant article about them playing at the Royal Albert Hall, and the changes they are making and everything! It was a good read! Could you mean this article by any chance? I read that one today and thought it's excellently written and very informative, I really enjoyed reading it. :) @Meredith: You should definitely go and get it yourself, it's wort it. I promise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarMonkey Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 i see.. are they new songs or some kind of compilations? i feel bad for snow patrol, i just knew it that the album has already released :( don't feel too bad about this. technically, Up To Now hasn't been released yet for your side of the world. it's only released in Malaysia (& hence, i assume this applies to Singapore & Indonesia also) in December. & apparently what'll be brought in will be the "UK limited edition"...whatever that means. fairly sure it's NOT the fan edition & very likely is the deluxe edition with the DVD. :thinking: Santa came through! Up to Now deluxe w/ the DVD was under my tree this morning! :dance: Can't wait til I get a chance to watch!! Hope everyone has had a lovely xmas! :hug: yay!!! so your very (un)subtle hints to the hubby worked then!!! :dance: looks like it's a Merry Christmas for you...heh :hug: I finally got to watch the dvd material and it was awesome! MY favourite moment was when Gary talked about Run and how it makes him feel when people sing it at concerts :heart: now I HAVE TO see them live.. :D i love how the live concert stuff on the DVD are full of bromance-y moments between Gary & Nathan...especially at the festivals! :laugh3: my fave is the Up To Now docu cos i think there's a great story there about the band & their journey "up to now". & in the booklet for the SP.com "fan edition", there's stuff written by Gary on the 1st page about how the name "Snow Patrol" came about & a short paragraph each on how he met each of the current band members, which i think ties in real nicely with the docu. @merryberry9 : just say yes & go get it...it's worth it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eff-exx Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 hey. first time here. :lol: i'm thinking about getting one album for the end of the year, but i need to make up my mind what. and Snow Patrol's Up To Now is part of my options. How good is the album? p.s. : I LOVE THE VOCALS FOR SNOW PATROL! GARY LIGHTBODY WOOHOOO. :lol: and the backing vocals are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How good is the album? p.s. : I LOVE THE VOCALS FOR SNOW PATROL! GARY LIGHTBODY WOOHOOO. :lol: and the backing vocals are awesome. Hi there and welcome to our cozy little group! :D First of all: I think it's a very good decision to get one of their albums, I'm sure you won't regret it as all of their albums are awesome in their own way. :) As for the beginning, I think the idea of buying "Up to now" is very wise as there are loads of songs on the 2 CDs which makes it easier to get an overall impression of their music as there's a very nice mix of older and newer songs on them. :) If it's a matter of price (for I assume the compilation might be a bit more expensive), I think "Eyes Open" is a good way to start with as well as at least I think it's the album that makes their music most "accessible" to the listener. :) I hope I could help you and good luck with the shopping! Feel free to tell us your opinion about the album you bought afterwards, I'd be very interested to read what you think about it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malaysian edition is obviously cheaper, but i suspect the quality is not as good. My friend once said that the imported Coldplay CD sounds awesome with headphones, so there should be a difference. and Rock Corner and Speedy have this 'Buy 2 for RM50'. Snow Patrol is included. :D but most prob Malaysian Edition. it's cheaper so who cares? the songs are the same anyway. unless there are other bonus with the imported ones... :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT unless you've been influenced to be particular about audio quality by a dad who deals in industrial AV equipment, then don't worry about the imported CDs' quality. cos it's not a really big deal if cost is a factor & you need the right audio gear too anyway to be able to hear the real difference. the other difference, & the main reason i stick to buying the imported CDs (tho it helps a lot that i'm already in the UK now), is that the Malaysian Edition's CD booklets are nothing more that a slip folded in 2 or 3 with not much content. I DO NOT LIKE THAT!!! :( i love opening the wrappings & taking out the booklets to read the stuff that the artist/band includes in their albums' CD booklets, like the 'thank you's, where the songs were recorded/mixed, who worked on the songs, etc. (ok, i'm weird like that... :shame: ) & i *especially* love the cheeky little messages like SP's "Mums and Dads of the world be patient with your children" that's in every one of their albums. :wacky: + for Final Straw the 'thank you's includes a line thanking everyone who bought the record instead of just downloading it for free off the Internet... :wacky: :wacky: :wacky: + my Final Straw booklet's signed by all the guys, except Nathan, so i love it to bits...haha btw, Snow Patrol stuff listened through a pair of Grado Labs' Alessandro MS-1 headphones = AWESOME!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eff-exx Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 im a noob in terms of techonology. dont ask my the difference between an xbox and play station. okay, i do knw a little diff, some thing about xbox has a usb port or smtg okay now im a noob. OMG! SIGNED BY THEM? :O luckynyahhhhhhhhh! but why didn't nathan sign it? his voice is brilliant as backing vocals! the inner sleeves are different? :thinking: i have mika's latest album, malaysian edition, and the inner sleeves are a lot. oh yes, i read that one member left the band, replaced by another member. is there any difference in the music then? bassist right?

PolarMonkey Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Also for Final Straw, they had Iain Archer on as a full-time member of the band to play guitar ;) speaking of Iain, after the show in Bristol he drove a VW Polo (i think) & mounted the curb pretty close to me when he drove towards where i was to pick up Miriam...i was like "what the hell's this guy doing???", then i saw Miriam getting into the car a couple of minutes later. & i realised who the driver was. d'oh. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
