To mark the release, the band made a previously unheard song for a free download on their official site, titled "Half the Fun of It".[2] Snow Patrol were one of the acts chosen in AOL Music's "Breakers" in December 2003, a program to promote bands for months leading up to the release of their respective albums in the United States.[3] During the time of the band's promotion, lead UK single "Spitting Games" was downloaded a million times, and was released as a stand-alone single in March 2004 in the week of the band's appearance at South by Southwest Festival.[4] Track listingsCD
ReceptionMusic Week reviewed the single positively, calling it a classic indie song. It praised the "British chugging guitar" and "bittersweet melodies".[5] IrishCentral called the song an alternative rock "masterpiece" and said it had made the band "cool".[6]Re-release"Spitting Games" was re-released on 12 July 2004, on both E-CD and 7" formats. The enhanced CD featured a cover of Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love", which was first performed on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show and another cover of Will Oldham's "New Partner", again from a Radio 1 Session for Steve Lamacq in 2002.[7] The song made the A lists of BBC Radio 1,[8] BBC Radio 2 and 95.8 Capital FM radio station of London.[9] Due to heavy airplay by the radio stations, the single peaked at number six on the UK Airplay Chart. It helped the album Final Straw{{'}}s sales, which reached number five, its highest chart placing after 23 weeks.[10] The re-release of "Spitting Games" was the band's first charting single in the United States, and peaked at number 39 on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart on June 5, 2004.[11] Track listingsCD
ReceptionYahoo! Music's Simon Ward reviewed the single positively, awarding it 7 stars out of 10, though he criticized the song for being "an indie anthem of the kind Ash used to make ten years ago." He praised the song's "nagging 'do-doo harmonies and driving guitars" though said that it wasn't "going to rewrite rock history." He still felt "it's competent indie-pop that will doubtless signal skies full of water and bouncing moshpits at the rest of the summer's festivals. Which is, frankly, all that's asked of it."[12]Charts

These 50 plays between them provide more than 82% of Spitting Games' total audience, though it received a further 677 plays elsewhere, including a phenomenal 91 from Kerrang!
