Negative Positive
Title: below average for Snow Patrol
Review: I just gotta say that anybody who likes their early stuff and the Reindeer Section who says this album is good is being very forgiving. I listened to this album and just thought, "These guys want to make a whole lot of money." This is especially disappointing since they have had up to this point such an authentic sensiblity. Like another reviewer said, you can play this for your family, or in your car and not be disgusted... BUT, for Snow Patrol, this is below average. The packaging seems appropriate: vaguely artsy, but meaningless, just like the music. And I'm not saying the music is meaningless just to be mean. It really felt meaningless to me, which makes me kinda sad, coming from Snow Patrol. I feel betrayed, or at least that they betrayed themselves. That said, there are some songs I like here, but none that knock me out, like on all their other albums.
Is the review positive or negative?
