Claude says:Snow Patrol's seventh album arrived after a brutal stretch of writer's block that saw Gary Lightbody scrap an entire record's worth of material — the follow-up to Fallen Empires was delayed twice before finally landing in May 2018, touching on life, death, and existential weight that earned it the label of their most personal work. You grabbed it on release and lived with it hard through the summer: "Life On Earth," "Don't Give In," "Empress," and "Heal Me" all got serious time, though it's "What If This Is All The Love You Ever Get?" that's kept you coming back through the years.
