Title: Disappointing follow-up
Review: I don't mind this album. It's got some PRETTY good songs, but it doesn't compare to Final Straw in the least.Final Straw just transported me to another musical plateau. I guess you could call it a concept album in a way. It did tell a story about a relationship from start to finish & it was BRILIANT. The whole thing was just a rollercoaster ride of emotions & feelings.Eyes open just sounds to me like the same old stuff you hear from other bands. I find little originality in it. Lightbody even sounds like he's bored while he's singing these songs.Very disappointing. It's beginning to seem to me like they took the commercial route maybe due to management's advice, to gain more exposure than "Final Straw" did with the typical results. The new album did gain wider exposure & sales, but it's ORDINARY. C'mon guys, you can do so much better.
