After The Snow - Modern English

Advantages: The distinctive choices of songs; There's rock, ballad and accoustic on offering
Disadvantages: They seem to have lost a bit of their earlier musical energy..perhaps with age?

...I Bought this album last June. First thought-My favourite band :) After first listen -and oh what an amazing album! I Travelled through melodious galaxys as I heard the cd's marvellous offerings of chili pepper modern classics such as 'Dani California' and 'Snow.' The beautiful bass guitar in 'snow' could surely get your heart melting.

'Flea's offerings are fantastic once again and the musical energy in this amazing album is brilliant. Fans, you will not be dissapointed. With a decreasing price , since the album has been out for a while, you cannot go wrong with buying this double cd album. now c'mon everyone- 'TELL ME BABY..'... Read review

Advantages: Summery, romantic and melodic throughout
Disadvantages: Nothing original here, and grossly overplayed

...modern day love song with true sentiment and an instantly lovable sound ***** 8. Grazed Knees - Feeder-esque. slow and sweet, with romanticised lyrics and a great strings section ***** 9. Ways & Means - Rough and hurried *** 10. Tiny Little Fractures- Distorted guitar interspersed with great lyrics and inspired use of crackling effects and clapping. A personal favourite amoungst the others ***** 11. Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking **** 12. Same ** 13. We Can Run Away Now They're All Dead And Gone (UK Bonus Track) **** 14. Half The Fun (UK Bonus Track) *** On a final note,all that is left is to decide if it beats their new release? Oh yes, this is the best of Snow Patrol. Definitely worth a try.... Read review
