Negative Positive
Title: I loved it - but that doesn't make it good...
Review: I somehow feel too biased to review this album... Snow Patrol and their music have meant so much to me for many years now, and I can't help but wonder if the fact that their early albums helped shape me as a person when I was younger makes me think this new album is the eighth wonder of the world without merit. Oh well. I loved it - granted, I caught myself comparing it to a Coldplay album on several occasions, though as far as I'm concerned, "Eyes Open" blows Coldplay out of the water. Gary Lightbody's lyrics are brilliant as always, and the duet with Wainwright was reminiscent of the Raindeer Section days. Then again, there I go projecting - Snow Patrol reminds me of too much for me to be objective. In short, this is a pointless review...I love this album. But I understand why others don't.
Is the review positive or negative?
