Eyes Open is composed of broad, obvious songs with broad, obvious hooks, aimed straight for the hearts of as many people as the band can manage. All of this would be bad, horrible even, if it didn't work. But it does.

The band's naked ambition would be offputting if it didn't come wrapped in such resounding choruses.

MojoEyes Open hardly furthers Snow Patrol's rote one guitar attack, and repetition exposes Lightbody's interpretations of love's little hiccups as a tiring experience. [Jun 2006, p.108]

NinjaMay 15, 2006This album is pathetically bland. If you're going to resort to lame lyrics at least have memorable riffs/beats.. this has neither.
