Final Straw and on is just boring radio rock [2] hell yeah. but this album is beatifully spontaneus and naive. it contains living energy of real people, not producers-made billboard toppers

In some ways, it's a shame that this album doesn't work - unfinished melodies, boring arrangements, but very promising... but on the other hand it woke Snow Patrol up enough to make Final Straw. [2]

This is my favorite snow patrol album, hands down. Olive grove is my favorite snow patrol song, hands down. [2]

Sorry but this sounds like a bad mash-up of Kid-A era Radiohead and My Bloody Valentine. Songs For Polarbears at least had good basslines and was interesting enough, but here the weird sound effects are overused and turn dull and uninspiring. The acoustic versions of "An Olive Grove..." "Batten Down the Hatch" and "Making Enemies" they did during their reworked tour of 2009/2010 are good though.

You can really see how they evolved musicaly. A great album, perhaps lacking refinement at stages but that just adds to the atmosphere.

I just got this the other day, and I'm really surprised at how good it is. I honestly don't understand why they were unpopular at this stage in their career. They sound completely different, but it's still really good-some of the songs on here are better than their more recent stuff, in my opinion.

I wish people who took the piss out of Snow Patrol would listen to their old albums, then form their opinions.
