CD Review: Eyes Open, by Snow Patrol

There were two CDs released this week that I was waiting for: Eyes Open, and Stadium Arcadium, by Red Hot Chili Peppers. This is the greater of the two, even if by a small margin. The strongest track is Hands Open, which was released earlier. That is the only really great song on the album, but it has so many other very good songs, that it doesn't need a bunch of hits. The he songs hold togethor very well as an album, and were not meant to be singles, except Hands Open. The vocals are impressive, as is the music all around. The lyrics are deeper than most albums these days, so it won't prove dissapointing. If you listen to this album repeatedly, it will just get better and better.
