A domino effect or chain reaction is the cumulative effect produced when one event sets off a chain of similar events. The term is best known as a mechanical effect, and is used as an analogy to a falling row of dominoes. It typically refers to a linked sequence of events where the time between successive events is relatively small. It can be used literally (an observed series of actual collisions) or metaphorically (causal linkages within systems such as global finance or politics).

Album information

The second track to be released from the album was "The Reason", receiving nationwide success like its predecessor, "Trust Me, I'm a Doctor". The third single, "Postcards" was released on 27 February 2009 and is a slower, different style to the Blizzards' usual music.

A digital booklet containing the lyrics of songs on the album as well as personal messages from the band members came with "Domino Effect (E-Deluxe Version)" on iTunes.

Another track on the album, "Money Doesn't Buy You Class", is about southside Dublin girls of the type "You'd see at UCD", when The Blizzards vocalist Niall Breslin studied there. He thought they were "So full of themselves, so superficial, so obsessed with money. Many had absolutely nothing of interest to say for themselves".

The domino effect is a type of chain reaction.
