About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

The anthemic indie rock sound of Snow Patrol provides a bit of hope and promise among the many acts attempting to fit into a certain genre or scene. Snow Patrol belongs to their own scene, and their third album, 2004's Final Straw, proved that with several global hit singles such as "Run," "Chocolate," "How to Be Dead," and the reissue of "Spitting Games." British fans once more proclaimed their beloved Snow Patrol as a true rock & roll band while American audiences finally took notice of the Scottish collective. The band's fourth album, Eyes Open, doesn't fall short from where they left off; in fact, Snow Patrol's hungry rock sound only gets bigger and better this time around. All guitar hooks and singalong choruses are firmly in place, and Gary Lightbody is an underrated frontman. On Eyes Open, he once again writes songs that are from the heart and true to self-reflection without getting too sappy and too overjoyed. From the playful name-dropping of Sufjan Stevens on "Hands Open" to their passionate delivery on "It's Beginning to Get to Me" and "Shut Your Eyes," Snow Patrol's approach is epic. They are the kind of band that embraces simplicity as beautiful and human flaws as art. The lullaby-like "You Could Be Happy" and the passionate buildup of "Make This Go on Forever" are evident of that. This 11-song set is a masterpiece, so keep your ears and eyes open for Snow Patrol. They're onto something big. MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide

Really very goodby Anonymous

May 28, 2008: I first heard 'Chasing Cars' on a Doctor Who Confidental episode (if you don't know Doctor Who I urge you to watch it) and instantly fell in love with it. Found it was by this band called Snow Patrol, and after searching around seven stores purchase Eyes Open. Most of the songs are pretty good, my favorites being Hands Open, Chasing Cars, You Could Be Happy, Make this Go On Forever (could lose the swear though), and Headlights on Dark Roads. Only song I don't listen to is Set the Fire to the Third Bar. Overall it's recommend strongly but not quite Outstanding.

March 24, 2008: this is an interesting band with a sound that's different and unique at the same time. love love love make this go on forever where the lyrics especially reminded me of a little book with a certain werewolf, vampire and human.
