[Anonymous]Oct 20, 2009This has got to be one of my favorite albums of all time. It's true that the beats might sound similar but its the lyrics that really make it stand out. Also Lightbody's voice is truly mesmerizing.

TimKDec 2, 2007This album is wonderful. It has some of the most beautiful songs ever written, yet it's far from soppy. Great music in its prime.

NickPMar 21, 2007Terrific and delightful with powerful lyrics and rythm! Some really amazing ballads like Chasing Cars, Open Your Eyes and especially Make This Go On Forever which gets very addictive as it makes you want to hear it more and more. Also a fantastic duet with Martha Wainwright and some upbeat and catch tune makes this CD delighful and complete!

AlexandrosVSep 27, 2006Well i think that a 65 metascore is a little unfair the album has a great deal of very nice songs like: Set The Fire To The Third Bar i believe is the best song of the album,most songs are way above average and a 65 metascore as i said above is unfair.

PScottJul 11, 2006Its not as good as 'Final Straw', but there are some brilliant ballads on this album. Best tracks are 'Chasing Cars', 'Set the fire to the third bar', and 'Open Your Eyes'.

JohnmJul 7, 2006I have to agree that this album does not have the heart of Final Straw or Songs for Polar Bears. It's their attempt at the bigtime. Hopefully their next effort will be better. Bear in mind that this band has been around for nearly 10 years. I can't blame them for wanting to pay the bills. I hope they get back to making music like Fifteen Minutes Old.

Raindog1972May 30, 2006A real disappointment...instead of branching out...Lightbody seems to be content to hold his ground,...lyrically and musically.

As enjoyable as anything this calculated can be.

To sum them up in one word, "reliable" would be the most appropriate.

Eyes Open takes the formula of the last album and magnifies it.
