SNOW PATROL- EYES OPEN
RELEASED: 2006 - POLYDOR RECORDS
Well you may of just read my review of Snow Patrol's third album 'Final Straw', well now my review of their 4th- 'Eyes Open'.
After hearing the 'Final Straw' album Snow Patrol became my favourtie band and i waited with anticipation for the release of 'Eyes Open' in 2006.
I was expecting a great album, i knew that nothing they could do would surpass the classic track 'Run' off the previous album, was still looking forward to hearing their new offering.
So as i did for the previous album, i bought a couple of beers, sent the Mrs out shopping with the kids, and listened intently.
Never would i of thought that this would be so much better than 'Final Straw' but it was, and there is me saying that nothing would surpass 'run' and then track 3 came on........'Chasing Cars'........again like 'Run'.......WOW, this song is perfection, it might not surpass 'Run' but it is most definitly on par with it, i was delighted that Snow Patrol had done it again.......another classic song, of course the other tracks are fantastic as well, and song for song 'Eyes Open' is a better album than 'Final Straw'.
So anyway i keep listening and then track 10 comes on, a track called 'Open your Eyes'.......again WOW, is there no end to the talents of this band. 'Open your Eyes' is now my favourite Snow Patrol song, which may suprise some people when you compare it to 'Run' and 'Chasing Cars', but i think this is on par with them and in my own opinion slighty better.
The other great tracks to look out for on this album are the brilliant 'Set the fire to the third bar' featuring Martha Wainwright, and the first single off this album ' Your all i have' , 'Hands Open', ' You could be happy', 'Finish Line'..........in fact they are all superb tracks.
All in all this is another classic from Snow Patrol who i think now in my opinion are better than the great COLDPLAY, and song for song this is better than Final Straw and that is quite a compliment.
There 5th album 'A HUNDRED MILLION SUNS' is due for release on 27th october 2008 and i for one cannot wait.

I wasn't so sure about this one when I first heard it, but it definitely grew on me and I love it now. Best track for me on this one is "Warmer Climate". Lexy
