Snow Patrol - Greatest Hits - Music & Performance - CD

2013 collection from the multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated Irish/Scottish band. Includes all the hits including 'Chasing Cars', 'Open Your Eyes', 'Run' and more. A newly edited version of the sixteen minute "The Lightning Strike' called "The Lightning Strike (What If This Storm Ends?)" was released as Snow Patrol's 2013 single. Originally a 16 minute song on the album a Hundred Million Suns, fans have been clamoring for the edited version ever since the song was used in the film trailers for films Act of Valor and Epic.

As an alternative to the 2009 double-disc compilation Up to Now, Snow Patrol's Greatest Hits shortens the track listing down to 14 songs, and updates the time line by including the hit single from 2011's Fallen Empires, "Called Out in the Dark." This collection skimps on all of the material from the early records Songs for Polar Bears and When It's All Over We Still Have to Clear Up, but it's a forgivable move since Final Straw, Eyes Open, and A Hundred Million Suns have more than enough hits to fill a disc. Along with "Just Say Yes," which originally debuted on the last compilation, highlights include "Chocolate," "Run," "Crack the Shutters," and "Chasing Cars." ~ Jason Lymangrover, Rovi
