iTunes Review
After finally achieving success with their previous album, Eyes Open, Snow Patrol set out to balance between their newfound accessibility and a desire to break past all creative barriers. “Take Back the City” crackles with a tough pop-rock drive, singer Gary Lightbody channeling an urban energy and an ‘80s New Wave groove. The song’s obvious joy for living is more subtly weaved into the existential wallowing that haunts the space-themed tracks, “If There’s a Rocket Tie Me To It” and “The Planets Bend Between Us,” where Lightbody sounds less self-assured and more angst-ridden. “Lifeboats” uses a stereo-pan on Lightbody’s double-tracked vocals for a cool, disorienting effect. “The Golden Floor” evokes a spiritual dance with its tribal rhythm and dark keyboards. Recorded in both the bucolic Irish countryside and the urban frenzy of Berlin, A Hundred Millions Suns brilliantly plays between the two worlds, offering moments of contemplation and chaos. Then there’s the 16-minute finale, “The Lightning Strike,” where three movements build to the end of the world, dancing to the joyous finish. Snow Patrol are unafraid of their grand ambitions.

Explicit!!
by Lundy11This Really should be explicit. even though it's not that bad. . . it still says the "F" word. People are gonna need to know that. So you should atleast warn them. Seriously!

Great Album
by DMaG3After listening to the songs multiple times, i've come to the conclusion that this is a great album! It flows very well from song to song and most of them have a very distincitive melody. I've noticed alot of other people saying that it doesn't really compare to other songs they've put out, like "Chasing Cars," however this is really of no big consern. This cd has a different tone than previous ones have had but it just shows how the band has matured over time. One of the best songs, in my opinion, is "The Lightning Strike". It has probably the most unique melody out of all of them and really sticks with you. I would definately recomend this to anyone who enjoyed the previous cds.
