    Final Straw is the highly acclaimed third album by the indie rock group Snow Patrol, released in the United Kingdom in 2003 and in the United States in 2004. The album is notable for bringing the band their first mainstream success outside of their native countries of Northern Ireland and Scotland.

    All lyrics were written by Gary Lightbody, all music by Nathan Connolly, Gary Lightbody, Mark McClelland and Jonny Quinn.

    The album was re-released in the UK in 2004 with two extra tracks, before being exported to the U.S. (interestingly, without the bonus tracks). The album was also released on SACD and Dualdisc with 5.1 Surround mixes.
