Very good, some awesome songs, but all in all very listenable.

Well, what a wonderful discovery this was. After being pretty much disappointed by Coldplay’s last effort X&Y after the brilliant A Rush of Blood to the Head my neck was out once again searching the ROCK/ALTERNATIVE woods for the next best substitute while I wait patiently for the 2006 end of year release of the new Radiohead album. Having never heard of Snow Patrol, I discovered them on iTunes when they began plugging their latest effort "Eyes Open" which upon hearing I immediately bought and it has yet to leave my cd player. It was time to trawl the back catalogues of this amazing band that I had (and including many of my pals) never heard of. "Final Straw" is marginally better than "Eyes Open”, but both are fantastic albums. I can see its going to be a difficult task for the next alternative/rock album to dislodge both these discs from ruling the cd waves in my lounge.

fantastic!
Phil D gave it a9:
Snow Patrol have managed to maintain their originality, whilst successfully engaging the "mainstream" pop/rock crowd. A fantastic album, with all the right words and all the right sounds. It's what anyone with a beating heart would love to hear.

Greatest. CD. Ever. Not kidding. This is the only CD I can remeber purchasing were all of the track are not only good, but phenomenal! A must have for any fan of Indie Rock.
Elizabeth P gave it a9:
This is definitely an acquired taste. But once you give this album a second or third listen then you fall in love with it. Terrific and a much better band than Coldplay.
Scott Y gave it a9:
Wow! Where has this band been all my life. This is a really solid effort, with a fantastic middle, especially the song Chocolate. I'm going to dig up their other albums based on this one.
