Eyes Open

This is probably one of the best pop albums the last 10 years. I never get tired of the beautiful and majestic tunes on this record. The first time i played it i was a little bit disappointed but it got stronger for every listening. A great band and a masterpice of a record that everyone should have!

This album is Snow Patrols FOURTH album. the first two of which i have arent anything special but def worth a listen if you love these guys. I didnt think they could possibly match 'Final Straw' as its an amazin album but they have done just that. it is absolutly fantastic! when i got it i couldnt stop listening to it, especially chasing cars which still hasnt started to annoy me. i can honestly say that chasing cars is quite possibly my fave song of all time, it covers me in goosbumps -its that good! you should def buy this album!! :)

Fantastic. The songs send shivers down my spine. I am not an expert in music, but if I like the lyrics (this is my main criteria for liking a song) and I like the tune, then it is definately a hit with me. I cannot stop to listen to this album, and for me the best songs are "You could be Happy", "Make this go on forever" and "set the fire to the third bar". If you heard and liked "chasing cars" (probably the most famous song from this album), this one comes in a close 4th in my rating, so this is a testamant of the quality of the rest of the album. The only song that really doesn't light my fire is "Headlights on a Dark Road", but maybe this is because it follows directly after my 3 varourite tunes. If you only buy one CD this year, make sure it is this one, you will not be disappointed.

Snow Patrol had mamoth sucess with first straw, but it just gets better with Eyes Wide Open. This album manages to mix theraputic ambience with catchy, indie music.

This is my top album of 2007. You could be happy is and amzing song, Set fire to third bar comes in at a close 2nd with Chasing Cars as the best on the album. Its one of those albums that you can listen to again and again, even now, months after is was released! Must have album!!!

Who would have thought they could have matched the success of "Final Straw"?
They have done even better with this album the includes the brilliant singles "All i have" "Open your eyes" "Set the fire to the third bar" and the brilliant "Chasing Cars."
You can listen to this over and over and still not be bored with the stunning lyrics and chill out vocals that define the band from any other of recent memory. This is a must for any music lover. Look out for the fabulous "You Could Be Happy."
