"Snow Patrol aren&amp;#039;t the first indie act to discover unexpected Balearic sensibilities. Keane were relatively early spotting which way the wind was blowing with their bouncy 2008 single &amp;#039;Spiralling&amp;#039;, while Jack Pe\u00C3\u00B1ate won critical acclaim with his summer career reboot Everything Is New. Now comes &amp;#039;Just Say Yes&amp;#039;, a track Patrol frontman Gary Lightbody claims is &amp;quot;closer to techno than we&amp;#039;ve ever got&amp;quot;. Written for Nicole Scherzinger&amp;#039;s abandoned solo album (there are live versions on YouTube), this is certainly more electro than &amp;#039;Chasing Cars&amp;#039; or &amp;#039;Run&amp;#039;, but it&amp;#039;s hardly the second coming of &amp;#039;80s Detroit. Where Keane and Pe\u00C3\u00B1ate actually succeeded in introducing a new feel to their sound, Snow Patrol have merely grafted on a few floaty keys and hoped for the best. Otherwise it&amp;#039;s business as usual, with the same over-earnest lyrics (&amp;quot;I won&amp;#039;t be OK and I won&amp;#039;t pretend I am&amp;quot;) and soporific melodies as ever. Guitarist Nathan Connolly recently promised: &amp;quot;No matter what kind of musical direction we&amp;#039;ll take, we&amp;#039;ll always make it sound like Snow Patrol.&amp;quot; He wasn&amp;#039;t lying.
