 Gary does it again! May 10, 2006
2 out of 9 found this review helpful
Today this CD came out all over the U.S. I got a copy and I have to sit and wonder how does Gary do it? Final Straw was simply brilliant. This CD might even top that. Between his side project "Reindeer Section" and Snow Patrol, this guy has shown that he is a musical genuis; and this CD proves it. Let me give you a review of the songs.
You're All I Have - 5/5 - This song gives hope for hopeless romantics everywhere.
Hands Open - 6/5 - "It's hard to argue when you won't stop making sense..." Kinda reminds me of the rave reviews this CD's getting.
Chasing Cars - 6/5 - Quite possibly the best song on the CD. I saw somebody compared this song to "Run". (song on "Final Straw") I think that the structure of the song is similiar definately, but with a slightly different feel.
Shut Your Eyes - 5/5 - Paints a nice picture.
It's Beginning To Get To Me - 4/5 - Great song.
You Could Be Happy - 6/5 - It's campy lullaby feel gives off a sense of comfort. It's definately going to be a SP classic soon.
Make This Go On Forever - 4/5 - This reminds me of "Chocolate". I have no idea why. Anyway beautiful song.
Set Fire To The Third Bar - 5/5 - Lovely duet.
Headlights On A Dark Road - 5/5 - Not much to say on this one yet.
Open Your Eyes - 10/5 - In my opinion it's the best song on the CD. It's touching lyrics grab you from the start and take you for a ride. Then the song comes to a wonderful climax at the end. BRILLIANT.
The Finish Line - 4/5 - Great song to end with. Possibly my least favorite on the CD though.
So anyway I hope this helped you guys. This CD is totally worth every penny.

Well another Snow Patrol Cd and another piece of magic.
This cd is just awesome.
The Killer Cut on this disc is Chasing Cars..Very similar to Run but even better.
If i had to be picky the cd is missing a huge out and out classic pop tune like Chocolate,But over all its a much better album than Final Straw.
My fave tunes on this disc.
You Could Be Happy a killer Ballad..
Of course the future massive hit single Chasing Cars.
And Your All I Have.
So many great tracks but those are the ones that stand out for me.
But buy this cd you wont regret it.

(4 & 1/2 stars) Eyes Open is one of the better CDs I've heard all year. Singer Gary Lightbody has a very captivating vocal style that reminds me of Dan Wilson's (of the late Semisonic). Combine that with some excellent songs - especially the exceptionally strong "Chasing Cars" - plus some complex and intriguing arrangements, and you have a definite winner (to echo another listener/reviewer). This is a disc I'll recommending to friends and relatives.
A INSTANT MASTERPIECE! May 10, 2006

I just got this CD and I haven't been able to put it down yet. This CD is so beautiful, every song is that good. Gary's vocals are breathtaking, and their's a perfect mix of slow and fast songs. best songs: "You Could Be Happy," and "Chasing Cars" THE ALBUM IS GORGEOUS, BUT IT TODAY
