Claude says:Snow Patrol's sixth album came out of a difficult writing process — Gary Lightbody fought through three separate bouts of writer's block between 2009 and release, calling it their longest album yet, with future member Johnny McDaid appearing as a guest before officially joining. You grabbed it right at the U.S. release in January 2012 and played it heavily that year, though you've kept coming back to it over the years with renewed interest in the early 2020s.
