On this review I will be reviewing the new album from 'Snow Patrol' which was released on the 25th May 2018 this year. It's the seventh studio album by 'Snow Patrol' called "Wildness".
Snow Patrol are a Northern Irish rock band formed in 1993 consisting of five members 'Gary Lightbody' (vocals, guitar player), 'Nathan Connolly' (guitar, backing vocals), 'Paul Wilson' (bass guitar, backing vocals), 'Johnny Quinn'(drums), and 'Johnny McDaid' (piano, guitar, backing vocals). I have never really been keen on 'Snow Patrol'. I first discovered them from a track from their fourth studio album "Eyes Open" the track I first heard from them was 'Chasing Cars' which was the band's successful track. When I first heard that track back in primary school I was amazed how great this track was. During that time it was the only track being played on the radio. Snow Patrol were also doing well in the charts at the time. They were a great band in the last decade. At the time I decided to listen to all of their albums and this is what I thought of their albums. "Songs For Polarbears" their debut album I did not enjoy their debut album not their best album. "When It's All Over We Still Have To Clear Up" their second studio album which I thought was alright it was much better than their debut album. "Final Straw" a good album from the band even though I preferred their second album. "Eyes Open" my favourite album from the band this is their best album. "A Hundred Million Suns" an average album with some alright tracks. "Fallen Empires" I did not enjoy this album not their best album. Which brings us to their new album their seventh studio album. It has been 7 years since "Fallen Empires" was released. They are back after a 7 year break. Since hearing their new album "Wildness" what did I think of it? I thought it was another average album from them it's better than "Fallen Empires". I thought some of the tracks were alright, but the whole album was average.
My favourite tracks on the album starting with "Life On Earth" an amazing intro to the album such an amazing track I love the bass guitar on this track. Defintley my overall favourite on the entire album. "Heal Me" it's an alright track very catchy and very good guitars on this track. "A Dark Switch" which sounds like pop from the 2000s it's alright. My least favourite track was "Don't Give In" it sounds like a Vance Joy, Mumford & Sons track. It's alright not quite the strongest on the album.
Overall this album is average. It's better than their other album "Fallen Empires". I would listen to it again if I am in the mood for 'Snow Patrol'. I would give this album a 5/10.
