BBC Collective Rating: 9.0

This is the most important album Snow Patrol have ever had to make.  Full text...


Times Online Rating: 8.0

Eyes Open feels like a nerveless triumph.   Full text...


Dotmusic Rating: 7.0

What's really surprising about this record isn't that it's not great but that, actually, behind the FM gloss and the tedious lyrical obsession with "relationship issues", "Open Eyes" is actually not at all bad.  Full text...


MusicOMH.com Rating: 6.0

It's a shame, because there are moments on here that prove Snow Patrol can still hit the heights when they try - the problem is that on Eyes Open those moments don't happen often enough.  Full text...


NME Rating: 6.0

It is quite simply a fine album. But therein lies the problem. It's. Just. Fine.   Full text...


Drowned in sound Rating: 6.0

Eyes Open is the album that Snow Patrol were always going to make in the wake of their unexpected success. To sum them up in one word, "reliable" would be the most appropriate.  Full text...


The Independent Rating: 4.0

Thrumming guitars and keyboard ostinatos, this is stadium-sized glum-rock that has the irritating effect of making the listener feel slightly guilty by association, but slightly consoled as well.  Full text...

A lot of good songs...the first time you listen to it you cant stop, but after a while it does get boring.


Legionmort Rating: 8.0

For their fourth album Snow Patrol have produced a lot of great songs on this album. Personally i consider this album to be the best one they've done, and with the singles 'Chasing Cars' and 'You're All I Have' this is a must buy!


katie ♥ Rating: 9.0

i luv this album.im not a big snow patrol fan but ive actually been out and bought this album because i luv it. all i have and chasing cars are 2 differant but brilliant tracks and the other tracks are good too. Each track seems to tell a story making this a wicked album and so easy to listen to. theres something for everyone and a tune to suit every mood. Its a must buy album.!!


Alexandra Rating: 10.0

I love this record, it's on non-stop rotation for nearly 5 months. Gary lightbody's voice is awesome and the lyrics are really honest. and for me, commercial sucsess is nothing bad...snow patrol really deserve it!

Natalie Rating: 10.0

This is one of the best albums i have heard.
the songs "open your eyes" and "chasing cars" are simply fantastic. you can really feel the music and the lyrics. and with the help of "chsing cars" being put on Grey's Anatomy...everytime i hear it...i cry non-stop.
Snow patrol are really brilliant at writing good lyrics.


Roxanne Rating: 10.0

This is one of the best albums I have heard in along time. I can't get enough of "chasing cars" it brings me back to High School.


amelia Rating: 10.0

This album is by far their best so far. The music is slow and beautiful. This band is like heaven to listen to, i could sit and listen to their music for hours on end. 'You could be happy' is the best song.
buy this album if u like good wholesum music.


Alex Rating: 10.0

Dude, what can i say its immense i totally love set the fire to the third bar. If you don't have it you should get it.


Rudi Rating: 10.0

The lyrics of "Eyes open" are certainly briliant. Really they feel honest, unlike most of nowadays lyrics. This album fills me with a magic feeling, that different from everything else.


The Shley Rating: 10.0

As a musician and knowing music I must say there's something about the song Chasing Cars that I can't put my finger on. Something so sincere and deep, yet the lyrics are so simple. The music is too. So simple, yet so unique. It almost makes me sad, but it makes me feel like life is beautiful at the same time! It makes you feel the need to love the simple things in life.


Matt Rating: 9.0

This album is filled with emotion which either you will love or hate, I loved it. Snow Patrol managed to almost tell a whole story within each song and managed to make me feel different emotions in every song.....DEFINATLY reccomend picking this up.


Joanne Rating: 10.0

I love this album. The music runs throughtout my bones. I went to see them in concert and the music was absolutely fabulous. The music is something really different, not in a bad way. It is amazing and makes me just want to grab hold of life. Its fabulous. Need I say more. I Love It.


Dave Rating: 10.0

This is such a amazing album... i have ventured to listen to "final straw"... that also is a brilliant album... each song is different... almost a different part of someones life or a new story inside each lyric written song!!! this brings me up when some days arent just so great! a recommend listen and buy!


Zachary Rating: 10.0

I love this album! The songs on it are great! The whole thing is awesome... My favourite songs on it are 'You're All I Have' and 'Chasing Cars' but I also like 'Hands Open' alot... It's a great CD to listen to when you're in an Alternative mood. But it's great to listen to it in any mood... overall it's just an awesome album...


Ben Rating: 9.0

What can I say? It is a great album. I just wish they would play some of the other songs on the radio besides Chasing Cars every half hour. There is a lot of great songs: You Could Be Happy, Hands Open, Set Fire To The Third Bar, Headlights On Dark Roads just to name a few. Simple yet unique.


Edivaldo Rating: 10.0

It is a very good album. I love Set Fire to the Third Bar. You just can feel all the emotion of the lyrics in his voice. Chasing Cars is also full of emotion.


Grayfox Rating: 1.0

Only One Great Song - Chasing Cars, the rest are rubbish, don't buy just down a bottle of jack daniels instead and play guns n roses or nightwish or better still slipknot


Calleigh Rating: 10.0

The first time I listened to the CD I didn't appreciate just how good it is. Now I can't stop playing it. Musically it is excellent. Lyrics also excellent. Production is excellent. The best CD I have bought in 2006.


Alana Rating: 10.0

Amazing!! I fell instantly in love!! you can relate to the songs, It suits all my emotions, and that help becuase what ever song I listen to os normally how i feel.


Luke Rating: 10.0

The album is fantastic, beautiful stuff. My favourite song is Make This Go On Forever, impossible to hear and not want to cry. Its the perfect album to listen to if you're confused about a relationship :)

They deserve the commercial success, I hate it when people use this as a reason to dislike the band. This album is immense and music which makes you stand up and listen, I hope they go from strength to strength!


Steve Rating: 7.0

First off... I hate when people vote 10s or 1s on a clearly not perfect but not atrocious album. This album has a variety of styles to tune into in each song, then of course... you have Chasing Cars, which has become one of my all-time favorites. The other songs are decent, but I don't see any of them being absolutely terrible... maybe the music is slightly dull in them but the lyrics are still powerful.


laura Rating: 8.0

Its surprisingly good. all i had heard before was chasing cars and some others until i got the album. It was better than i expected


jaay. Rating: 9.0

when i first head 'chasing cars' i was blown away, so i bought the album.
some songs DO get old quickly, but some are worthless and brilliant.
my fave song is 'set the fire to the third bar' w/ martha wainwright.
i think its glorious.
BUY THE ALBUMMM.
you won't regret it.

Lars Rating: 9.0

This is the first album i bought of Snow Patrol. After hearing this one, I bought all previous 3 albums. This is just a great group. Chasing Cars is thé killer song!!


Simone Rating: 10.0

It's really amazing! Every song is something special. I could listen to it for hours and still be mesmerized, by the voices and melody in the songs. The best album in years!!


DanTheMANCurry Rating: 9.0

This is such a good album. I found each song to be different and unique in a very good way. It's hepled me to reclaim the softer side in my music studies. This coming from a heavy metal lover, I can only imagine that that is saying ALOT.


Ivan Rating: 9.0

For someone that really appreciate fine music, this album is gonna full their expectatives, is really cool, ThE BEST.


Brenners Rating: 9.0

Have followed the band for a while now, and have seen them grow from a good live band to world class. This album is pure quality and quite diverse. I would hae given a 10 but will reserve that for the next album!!


CSI:Miami Rules Rating: 7.0

"Chasing Cars" is awsome it reminds me on Jonathan Togo cause that song is a music video of Ryan Wolfe & Calleigh(on CSI:Miami):)


Abdou Rating: 9.0

Damian Tamayo Rating: 10.0

This album is very good i dont no what these people are talking about chasing cars is great i already bought the cd so in ur face assholes


James Rating: 8.0

This is the best break-up cd of all time! Like some of the people have said: you an relate to the music, feel the intensity.


Someorne. Rating: 8.0

The songs in this album have the same, amazing melody; the lyrics and meanings of the songs are put in a great combination so you can actually feel what Lightbody is staging. All the songs have a great, calming melody, and I strongly recommend this album for anyone who looks beyond songs to feel words portrayed from the heart.


Your mom Rating: 6.0

Not as good as U2, but still a worthy album from Snow Patrol. There's something about Brit Rock that's more sophisticated than American Rock. Sure, we got a few originals like Switchfoot and Dave Matthews, but nothing quite compares to bands like Coldplay, Keane, or even Snow Patrol. Then only reason I give this a six instead of an eight or higher is because of the theme. Sure, they have a lot of great metaphors for love and loss, but haven't they found something better to sing about? The repeating theme about open hands, open eyes, and other things that you can open and shut is creative but it lack something. The music is fantastic, but these guys need something more. With anthems on past albums like "Run" and on this one like "Chasing Cars" they could make a song that could actually have some impact on the world. Buy if you like catchy indie rock about love, although it's still worth a listen even if you don't.


MATE Rating: 10.0

possibly one of the best albums of the genre and easily the best work produced by snow patrol since the success of "final straw". Lightbody's vocals are simply genius.


Kira Rating: 10.0

This cd has a lot of great songs with lyrics that actually mean something!! and they just pull you in when u listen to them.. you cant stop listing.


Lois Rating: 10.0

The first song i've ever heard of them was probably chasing cars. I wish i would have discovered them sooner, but well..
I fell in love with chasing cars and when i listened to their other tracks i fell in love with the band, so I bought eyes open. I can play it over and over again. I just can't stop listening.
The lyrics are just so simple but at the same time they hit the heart.
Set the fire to the third bar is amazing. martha's voice is a bit annoying. But with gary's voice, the song is just amazing.
Open your eyes is beautifull because the "build up" is just so simple but yet so great.
Every song is just beautifull on its own way.


Ashley Rating: 10.0

Friggin awesome album!
love chasing cars, It's beginning to get to me, All that i have...hell, they're all great!!!


jordi Rating: 10.0

its amazing. i didn't used to like them, but this album is just awesome! every single song is different, catchy and tells its own story, and theres something to suit everybody on it! chasing cars, open your eyes, all i have..even if you only know these three, its still well worth buying! my personal favourite being make this go on forever, wow! 10/10


matt Rating: 9.0

one of the best records i bought in 2006. the only reason its not a 10 is becuase a lot of the songs aren't 'moving'...what i'm saying, is that songs like "set the fire to the third bar" would be better if there was more to the song. i almost thought that "open your eyes" would've slid down that same path, but turned out to be one of my favorites from the record, along with "chasing cars" and "hands open". overall, good melodies, good lyrics that hold meaning, and overall good music to listen to on the road.
