Final Straw is the third studio album and major-label debut by Northern Irish–Scottish alternative rock band Snow Patrol, released on 4 August 2003 in the UK and in 2004 in the US. The album is notable for bringing the band their first mainstream success outside of their native countries of Northern Ireland and Scotland. In the 14 months following its release, a total of 5 singles were drawn from it. It is their first album to feature lead guitarist Nathan Connolly and their last with bassist Mark McClelland.
The album was re-released in the UK in 2004 with two extra tracks,[1] before being exported to the US (without the bonus tracks). The album was also released on SACD and DualDisc with 5.1 Surround mixes.[2]
A 20th anniversary edition was released on 4 August 2023, 20 years after the album's original release.
