Leak[edit]

Notably this album has already been leaked online... Over a full month before the release, I might add. I've been listening to it for close to two weeks now. As the reviewers such as rolling stones reported, the lyrics and themes are darker than before. It took me a while for me to get used to as the songs are less catchy than that of 'Final Straw.' However, I think the songs work together in the album artform; which is to say, they hold together more meaningfully and purposefully. "High-quality?" That's debatable. The songs were riddled with bleeps and blips common of pre-release rips. And "It is unknown at this point what affect this will have on sales of the record." Correct. We will never know. But this is a rather common occurance and I see no need to include it in the article. Thoughts? Unless there was another release of the album that differs from the release in late March?

Release[edit]

This album was released in Ireland on Friday, April 28th. The band appeared on the Late Late Show and signed copies of the album in Virgin Megastores in Dundrum Town Centre. Maybe this should be included.--212.2.182.216 00:33, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"The track "-" is not an actual song, but a recording of background noise and a young child talking." Does anyone find this quite questionable? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.132.44.20 (talk • contribs) May 19, 2006.

"Questionable" in what way? As in you don't believe that's what's on the album? Or that it should be? If you don't think it's true, be bold! -Phoenixrod 21:50, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I heard about that. I think it is a relative of the producer or someone. Relative as in daughter/neice or somthing.Qwerasdfzxcvvcxz 23:00, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Title of album[edit]

The article says "The album title comes from a line in the song, "Hands Open".", but this isn't necessarily true, considering the other songs, "Shut Your Eyes" and "Open Your Eyes". It's kinda hard to explain formally though, could someone try and rewrite that line? AllySDude 20:35, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re wrote the paragraph with your sugestion: The title suggests an amalgamation of several lines, and a theme across the album, including lines in the songs "Hands Open", "Chasing Cars", "Shut Your Eyes" and "Open Your Eyes". Ghostieguide 15:24, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Speyesopen.JPG[edit]

Gomez Whippin' Piccadilly[edit]

At the very beginning of the song "Warmer Climate", you can hear the song "Whippin' Piccadilly" by Gomez being played. Listen carefully though. --213.83.125.225 (talk) 10:35, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 30 January 2019[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: pages moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 02:05, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

– Only two uses of this title. There was an uncontested move about 18 months ago, but to my eyes the album is clearly the primary topic. Per the article, this album charted at #1 in five different countries and was ranked #1 in the UK's end of year chart for 2006; it is also certified platinum in at least ten countries, multiple times in some cases. The Taylor Swift song did go platinum in the US but only reached the top 10 in New Zealand; despite the popularity of both Swift and The Hunger Games the song seems otherwise unremarkable. Pageview stats from the last 18 months also weigh heavily in favour of the album, which on average gets three times as many views. If three out of four readers are looking for the album then I don't see how it helps to take them there via a dab page.

– "Eyes Open" is more of a generic phrase. The Taylor Swift song of the same name gets more page views than this album. In addition, there is a Youssou N'Dour album of the same name. Therefore, being that the last move request did not receive overwhelming support, I would not consider this album the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. JE98 (talk) 22:44, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
