Snow Patrol are “ceaselessly in comparison with Coldplay within the press, which appears unusual as they write much better songs and don’t look like fairly so self-hating, nor as wealthy. Their delightfully dour little pop songs do contact on the melancholic facet of issues, however the lyrics are splendidly slice-of-life descriptions.

Singer/lyricist Gary Lightbody provides a shout-out to Sufjan Stevens when on the punchy “Open Your Eyes” he sings, “The anger swells in my guts.” Maybe a greater comparability could be American indie-rock act Sebadoh?

Regardless, this band continues to shock. In case you went to see this blended Scottish/Irish group on tour after listening to their wistful, breakout third album Remaining Straw, you might need been a bit confused by the rock juggernaut confronting you. Eyes Open is their most straightforwardly rock report but, and thanks largely to producer Garret Lee, it is their greatest. If there was ever good music to get misplaced to whereas driving round confused a few relationship, that is it. –Mike McGonigal
