Pitchfork 4.9/10 Though wide-screen preciousness is Snow Patrol's forte, the band's newest album, A Hundred Million Suns, is noticeably lighter on surging, megawatt stadium-filling fare, instead placing more emphasis on nuance.

The Line of Best Fit 7/10 Would you believe that it\'s album number five for Snow Patrol? Here, it seems, revolution comes in little steps.

Slant 3/5 A Hundred Million Suns, unlike Snow Patrol’s previous two releases, focuses on the giddy start of a relationship rather than its end.

Pop Matters 9/10 It's a cruel fate (though not necessarily a rare one) for any band to have to watch as one of their weakest songs becomes their biggest hit.
