That is a fantastic album cover. Can't wait to hear this CD!
They're coming to Toronto in June. I'm contemplating shelling out the 35$ to go!

Aiight, so I got the album a few days early (gotta love advance promo copies), and honestly, it flat out kicks ass.
Between "You're All I Have" and "Hands Open" kicking off the album, it's nothing but solid straight through. It sounds a lot more mainstream then their last disc... not as moody and... Coldplay as the last one.
I recommend y'all pick it up come Tuesday. It's just great!

Ok, it is a very good album; there's nothing as epic as "Run" but the quality throughout is pretty solid. The UK and US tracks "You're All I Have" and "Hands Open" which open the album sound even better... but they are by no means the standouts. "Chasing Cars" is an excellent really anthemic song (going to be the 2nd single in the UK)- would go as far to say it's my favourite from the album on just the 1st listen, but that could change on future listens... it's probably the closest the album gets to "Run" epic-ness (is that a word?) The other standout tracks are, as Dan pointed out above, the collaboration with Martha Wainwright "Set The Fire To The Third Bar"; slow, haunting but very very very good! Also "Make This Go On Forever", I LOVE the chorus! ;D "Open Your Eyes" and "The Finish Line" are both good tracks to end the album too. Track 12 is a bit random... 3 minutes of noise from a playground. But there follows 2 bonus tracks "In My Arms" and "Warmer Climate" which are OK. Overall I'd give the album 8.5/10, it's all killer and no filler - a stunning album with something for everyone... Essential if you like this type of music at least.

'Chasing Cars' seems to be the big song off this album. Hopefully it gets Pop and AC success.

"Eyes Open" passes 1 million sales in the UK. Only the Arctic Monkeys debut has sold more in 2006. ;D
From Music Week (5th November 2006):
Eyes Open dips 9-13 this week, falling out of the Top 10 for the first time in 16 weeks, and achieving the lowest placing of its 27 week chart career - but it’s still a great week for Snow Patrol, as the album sails past the million sales mark. By close of business on Saturday, Eyes Open had sold 1,010,595 copies (including 22,406 last week) and is well on the way to matching their 2003 breakthrough album Final Straw, which has sold 1,401,341 copies to date. Eyes Open is the 111th million seller of the 21st century.

Excellent to hear! "Set The Fire to the Third Bar" rekindled my listening habits for this album, and I've fallen in love with it all over again.
