I am complete mush when it comes to Snow Patrol...like the way I feel when I get novocaine or go under before surgery or take too much Nyquil and am so utterly out of it and pleasantly unaware that nothing bothers me at all. It's not that Snow Patrol is boring or too easy on the ear. It's just that they are so relaxing and their music so warm for a group with the name Snow in it...
On their most recent outing (a two disc retrospective with the new "Just Say Yes" included) I find myself liking so much I'd never heard before and taking in the old stuff with pleasure all over again...
I've five-starred the ones that I think are absolutely knee-buckling in their beauty and peacefulness...
