They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5; Part 6
Active compensatory factors: For me, their best album (and I used to have them all). This is the only album I kept during a purge a few years back.

Mr Lightbody's vocals are perfect on this album, and the melancholy is balanced with wide eyed presence. It contains the classic Chasing Cars that everyone knows, but each of the songs are worthy. When I lived in the UK this album was massive and, fittingly, I bought it from the local Morrisons supermarket. That just seemed appropriate really.
Gary Lightbody's vocals are so warm/comfortable and the production is of high quality. It's a great package.
Where do they all belong? I won't be adding to the Snow Patrol collection. This one, however, has earned its place.
