A Hundred Million Suns

Snow Patrol

A lush, optimistic expansion of stadium rock. Shimmering guitars and brass arrangements culminate in a sixteen-minute suite about the beauty of things working out.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition between the three movements of the closing track where the storm finally breaks into morning light
The sudden, driving guitar riff that kicks off Take Back the City after the atmospheric intro
The intimate, close-mic piano melody that anchors the vulnerable verses of Crack the Shutters
