Review

"Eyes Open" really caught me with the way Snow Patrol captivates emotion through their sound, evolving much since their last hit "Final Straw." The album drops you into this landscape of intense feelings anchored by their standout track "Chasing Cars" – that tune alone feels like a heart-to-heart with an old friend. This collection fires on all cylinders, balancing the energy of rock with the tenderness of ballads, delving into love's highs and life's poignant moments.

What I think really makes "Eyes Open" hit home is the universal connection you find in its lyrics. It's like Snow Patrol has a direct line to those raw, unspoken thoughts we all carry around. Each time I give it a listen, there's a sense of shared experience and understanding that's hard to come by. It's no surprise that it crossed borders, relating to people far and wide, landing them squarely among the memorable alternative rock influencers of their time. - Ethan
