A blizzard of joy for Snow Patrol, new album 'Fallen Empires' - VIDEOS (IrishCentral)

Published Wednesday, November 18, 2009, 2:47 PMSnow Patrol has beaten most bands to the punch by coming out with a greatest hits collection for the holidays After all, there are only about six weeks between now and Christmas! Most retrospectives are shameless cash grabs by the artist and/or the record company Those that have a conscience may try to redeem their souls with a few new songs or rarities to add value for the fans At first glance, the track listing of Snow Patrol’s “Up to Now” fits the mold, but when you listen to this string of hits in succession it becomes a testament to the consistent greatness that flew under the radar for far too long READ MORE
