I cannot say enough good things about this band!  One of the best to see live if you get the chance. 

I love a band that takes simplicity to the level they do.  Keeping it simply but still entertaining is an art.

Seems a bit precious and overwrought.

I've always thought this song was a bit dramatic. I also find myself enjoying it every time I hear it. The conundrum that is my life in general...

Not again! 'Primal Music' I don't think so chaps.

Bill, you've played it once too often! Snow Patrol are overrated - not total crap, but not very good.

Feelings of boredom are never far away when this band are playing... To the 'Patrol: If I did tie you to a rocket and send you off, would you take your sound equipment with you and stay out of earshot? Or just patrol distant snows quietly? {#Doh}

I have really tried to like these guys, but they seem so repetitive and ultimately bore me to tears or annoy me to distraction. There. I said it.

 Thanks for turning me on to this group Bill, they just keep coming through with good music. I think the first time
I heard them was 3-4 years ago along with PorcupineTree (for the first time) and they have become a permanent and enjoyable part of my days and nights... Old dogs can learn new licks.

Still can't figure out the attraction here.  I hear it from time to time but not enough to really keep me fully interested.

I interpret your remark to mean that anyone who has a critical comment about a sappy, mediocre soft-rock band has an unwarranted high opinion of their own opinions, or, something like that.  Not really.  I was just stating my reaction to this oozing sap factory that goes by the name Snow Patrol.  In all truth, I am stating a fact.  It's what they do for me.  They are a radio-safe soft-rock band with mediocre talent.  True, I could surely not produce music like this.  I don't think it matters though, becuase they produce music for people to buy and consume.  I have very good reason to judge it.  My judgement:  it is sappy, mediocre, pleasant music, sometimes it's pretty good.  Nice soft-rock fare that I will never pay money for.  Not quite good enough.  I bought one CD and I sold it as soon as I could.   It's not exactly high art.  Hey, it's my opinion, what do I know.  You know what, I am not even going to charge you for my opinion.  You get these little golden nuggets gratis.

Way to man up! Integrity is rare. I agree with you too. SP is a guilty pleasure for me.

Me too.  As long as the rabbit ears were pointing the right way!

I even kept the whole newspaper section from when Apollo 11 landed on the moon.  Still pull it out from time to time.

I was alive... but I don't remember it.  I do distinctly remember a few years later when we lost the Challenger.  I was watching live at school.  Sorry to be such a bummer, but it is such a strong memory still.  Much like 9/11 in that way.  Absolutely tragic.

That's funny because I was in the process of writing:

This is the sort of band that will always be acceptable to a wide varity of musical tastes. Years from now people will be humming along to the chords at bars, trying to remember who's song it is.

"Super generic"?? Shome oxymoron, shurely? Kinda like 'extremely moderate' or 'extraordinarily average'.
