Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Snow Patrol are frequently compared to Coldplay in the press, which seems strange as they write far better songs and do not appear to be quite so self-hating, nor as rich. Their delightfully dour little pop songs do touch on the melancholic side of things, but the lyrics are wonderfully slice-of-life descriptions. Singer/lyricist Gary Lightbody gives a shout-out to Sufjan Stevens when on the punchy "Open Your Eyes" he sings, "The anger swells in my guts." Perhaps a better comparison would be American indie-rock act Sebadoh? Regardless, this band continues to surprise. If you went to see this mixed Scottish/Irish group on tour after hearing their wistful, breakout third album Final Straw, you might have been a bit confused by the rock juggernaut confronting you. Eyes Open is their most straightforwardly rock record yet, and thanks in large part to producer Garret Lee, it's their best. If there was ever perfect music to get lost to while driving around confused about a relationship, this is it. --Mike McGonigal



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Love this music
I love this Cd, Chasing Cars is the best. Its such great music to listen to.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Don't Let Anyone Fool You - This Album Is Nothing Special
After the excellent 'Final Straw', it was expected that Snow Patrol would come up with an album full of bigger tunes and much more ambition aswell. However, that is not the case and this album comes as a big dissapointment.

It's not outright bad, but it certainly shouldn't shouldn't be seen as anything like great. Yes, it does have it's moments. The singles that came off the album are all good. 'You're All I Have' and 'Open Your Eyes' are both catchy tunes. To be honest, 'Chasing Cars' was good at first, but now? Since the song was never off the radio, it became immensely irritating, especially as it is really just a Coldplay rip off. I think this was meant to be Snow Patrol's 'Fix You' but unlike the Coldplay hit, this song is ... Read More:



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great cd
i bought this cd a while ago and it is absouloutly amazing. I love all of the songs but they are still completly different so anyone who wants a new cd i think that you should get this cd!!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - TOG! Me? Definately!
The young chap is head nodding his way though his shift in my local shop. So everyone's favourite rock vicar, here, with a vast musical knowledge decides to will show him us older folk know our stuff.

Who is it? I enquire
He hands me the speakers without speaking...of course
I listen, HARD for a little while...oh hell I have no idea,
Then panicking say Razolight(no that's not it, lyrics are too good), [earning me a stern look]
Hardfi (No that's not it either) [Even sterner]....etc

"Snowpatrol" he says after I thoroughly embarrass myself

Ah "chasing cars" I say sagely, [Beaming he nods his appreciation of my knowing the name of the song]. We then have a pleasant conversation, phew...damn ... Read More:



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best album of 2007 ?
I am middle aged and I generally tend to listen to music from the Seventies and Eighties,but I must admit that I thoroughly enjoyed this album from Snow Patrol. Most of the songs on "Eyes Open" feature excellent melodies and musicianship and I was particularly impressed by Gary Lightbody's distinctive vocals and outstanding lyrics. For me , the pick of the songs were "You're All I Have","Hands Open","Open Your Eyes" and the superb "Chasing Cars". Almost every song is packed full of emotion and although the quality of the songs tails off towards the end of the album , it is still a worthy recipient of a five star review.
