Matt and Andrew's CD a Day project

Snow Patrol has been around for awhile in Britain; I heard a weird little song of theirs about an igloo collapsing (no joke) when I was over there in '99. But this is their huge breakthrough album, with comparisons to "the next Coldplay."
Is it that good? No. The middle three songs, "Spitting Games," "Chocolate," and "Run," are gorgeous pop tunes. But the rest is kinda blah.
