It is a VERY good album, I have absolutely no complaints about it.

Me too. And it's rare that I love all the songs of an album.

Same here - I normally skip at least one or two songs on an album. Not with EO though, every single song is perfection. Even the lesser tracks are still brilliant.

This album is genius!

With other albums, I either don't like at least one or two songs, or I like the lyrics but not the music or vice versa. On Eyes Open everything seems to go perfectly well together.



Open Your Eyes, Chasing Cars and You're all I have are my favourites.

What are yours?

Open Your Eyes and Chasing Cars are my favorites as well. I love all songs though.

This is a great album to play in the car.

Make This Go On Forever is on this album, which is my favourite song.

Christina, I agree...this album is pure musical genius!

I also play this album right through, from start to finish, with a constant smile on my face! The songs are beautifully written, both with lyrics and melody. I just cannot choose favourites here...I absolutely love each and every song!

Yeah, it's in my car right now too. I love it because I can listen straight through and I don't need to skip over any songs! Set Fire to the Third Bar is my current favorite, although it's changing by the week.

All of the songs on it are so good

My favorite songs from them are on this album. I really have no complaints about the album as a whole, which is a good thing because there's always something with me

That's my favorite song, too. It never gets old. But I absolutely adore the whole album. It's so rare for me to like every.single.song on an album, so Snow Patrol is special!
