Album Notes & Community Reviews

The third album from Snow Patrol and their major-label debut, 'Final Straw' was the record that catapulted the band to international stardom. Produced by Garret 'Jacknife' Lee, the album honed their sound into a powerful, anthemic brand of alternative rock perfect for stadium-sized audiences. Featuring the massive global hit 'Run', the album became a multi-platinum success and a defining moment for the post-Britpop movement.
