A Hundred Million Suns Artist: SNOW PATROL Genre: Rock (Universal) Reviewer: MICHAEL CHEANG THOSE familiar with Snow Patrol’s last two albums (2003’s Final Straw and 2006’s Eyes Open) as well as frontman Gary Lightbody’s other work (including the “super-group” The Reindeer Section) will find that this new effort is more of the same. In fact, this album might as well be a direct sequel to Eyes Open, as many of the songs sound so similar that you could play the albums back to back and still think it is one whole album. Heck, several times I even expected him to go: “Tell me, that you’ll open your eyes.” That’s not to say that this album is no good. There are a few numbers that stand out here, most notably the opening track If There’s a Rocket Tie Me to It (this album’s Hands Open), Crack the Shutters (this album’s Chasing Cars), and The Planets Bend Between Us (this album’s ... oh, you get the idea). And then there’s the little matter of a whopping 16-minute-long gorgeous, soaring three-part epic The Lightning Strike at the end; that, for me, is the only track that sets this apart from Eyes Open. It’s a decent effort overall, but you should only rush out and get it if you like your bands to sound the same all the time. http://star-ecentral.com/music/reviews/review.asp?file=archives/music/2008/11/AHundredMillionSuns&artist=SNOW%20PATROL&title=A%20Hundred%20Million%20Suns&sec=Music
