I thought Hundred Million Suns was a step back from Eyes Open and Final Straw, but in fairness to them those are two tough albums to stack up against. Dreadnaught was right when he said Snow Patrol's sound is pretty generic, but I have yet to tire of either Final Straw or Eyes Open. I'd also encourage anyone who hasn't to check out their earlier albums (Songs for Polar Bears/When It's All Over...). They're a lot more raw and have what I guess you could call an "indie" sound, but they're definitely good if you're in the right mood. Very different from their recent polished sound.
