Eyes Open was produced by Jacknife Lee and recorded between October and December 2005 in Ireland and London. The album is a masterclass in atmospheric, stadium-ready rock, featuring the band's signature blend of melancholic lyrics and sweeping, anthemic melodies. It spawned a series of hit singles, including "You're All I Have," "Hands Open," and the career-defining "Chasing Cars."
