There's a no
frills sense of adventure on Final Straw, Snow Patrol’s third
album. Already established as a heart-crushing mix of distorted
British pedal rock and US alternative guitar pop on home soil,
the album sees the band grow up, fill out and with some aplomb,
make one of the best British records you’ll hear this year. The
resulting album has proved to be Snow Patrol’s most
head-spinning work to date – a swooping attack of distorted
guitar, fizzing drum beats and woozy pop anthems laced with
enough heartache to fill an ocean. And with the themes of lost
love and the very real horror of the Iraqi conflict influencing
Lightbody’s lyrics, The Final Straw is raw emotion made flesh.
