Snow Patrol - Up to Now

Up to Now is the first compilation album of original songs (and third overall) by alternative rock band Snow Patrol.
The album features tracks spanning Snow Patrol's fifteen year music career, including tracks from The Reindeer Section, a side-project/supergroup involving musicians from all over Scotland.
The album was released primarily as a two-disc set and a three-disc digipak format containing one DVD of bonus material, a limited edition heavyweight box was also sold.
Three new songs were released on the album.
One of these was "Just Say Yes", the lead single taken from the compilation.

The album marks the band's 15 year music career.
Band members chose songs they like from all five studio releases, and added a few b-sides, rarities and three new recordings to compile the track list.
The band's label was originally going to call the album a Greatest hits, however, the band noted that they hadn't had that many hits.
They went on to suggest a Best of, before realizing it was along the same lines.
Singer Gary Lightbody has made it clear that the album wasn't a greatest hits record, and has expressed his dislike for such.
He further explained that the band couldn't have had such an album anyway, as they hadn't had enough hits yet.
According to him, the compilation is a way to leave the last 15 years behind, and it looks forward to 15 years in the future.
The album's title, "Up to Now" was specifically chosen as to indicate the band has more to offer in the future, and that it wasn't a way of saying goodbye.
The band believes that the album signifies a portrait of the band, who they are, "warts and all".
Lightbody said it represents the band making a statement, explaining: "We've climbed a hill and now we're looking back and taking in the view for a bit.
It's nice to show people that we didn't just arrive overnight".

The band has said that album is not a greatest hits, but a collection of the band's best loved songs.
