content: As a huge Snow Patrol and Reindeer Section fan, I was more than eager to pick up Lightbody and company's newest effort "Eyes Open." But I must say, aside from a few standout tracks like "You're All I have" and "Chasing Cars," these songs sound a lot like its predecessors from "Final Straw" and Reindeer Section albums. That being said, this album still sparkles with Snow Patrol's trademark sound and Gary Lightbody's sincere vocals that will lull you into its emotional trance. "Eyes Open" grabs a hold of you and for the uninitiated listener, its a slice of indie heaven.
