Biffy Clyro

[Milky Joe]

I'd be surprised if they didn't play Jaggy Snake tbh. But if another rarity takes its place, I won't be sad.

[dip]

They said in the Q+A that they'll be playing what they want to play, if people want slayer, then slayer are playing on the Friday

[PoisonMeteor]

I'm not expecting Slayer. I don't even like Slayer. It will be an enjoyable end to Saturday.

[Obi]

New song sounds passable. Still better than most of the last album though. I'm guessing 14th floor will butcher it as per though.

[belldomhappens]

I was there :awesome: Decent set was decent.
Where were you standing?

[Stewie26]

Tinset arrived, neat little package it is. Tiniest little speck of red paint on the guitar piece :D

I was in the pit most of the time lol. :\mm/:

[Mobius]

Tinset people, does the DVD have the whole gig on?

[Stewie26]

Yes.






DVD with commentary>>>DVD without commentary



:D

[jimmyd93]

Do you get the full show on DVD with the non-tinset version?

[Mobius]

I dont know, its why i've avoided getting it so far.

[Stewie26]

http://www.biffyclyro.com/store/products,revolutions-live-at-wembley-exclusive_91.htm



That's the only way you can get it without the tin-set.

[Mobius]

Oh fantastic, thanks. :)

[vibrantXhearts]

Yes.

:D

The commentary is ace :happy:

[dontask]

Just watched it for the first time, awesome but too many slow mo shots when I just want to see the band rocking out.

[Jacky Boy]

I agree, wayyyy too many slow mo shots, it feels too cinematic for my liking.

[Stewie26]

The commentary is ace :happy:Yep, I knew it was going to be amazing from the first scene with the fan close ups xD


And when the Captain starts! YESSSSSS from Simon had me in tears for some reason :stunned:

[dontask]

I agree, wayyyy too many slow mo shots, it feels too cinematic for my liking.

Exactly, I wouldnt mind it now and again, but its overused. It doesnt take away from the beauty of Machines/Folding Stars et al though

[James.]

They played Stress on the Sky apparently. :eek:

[Mobius]

I want to see the setlist! Did they roll out a load of old tunes? I want to know!

[vibrantXhearts]

They played Stress on the Sky apparently. :eek:

:yesey:

Wish I'd gone :LOL:

Listening to the live album now...

Soooooo so frustrated I was ill that day. Tbh, I wish I had jsut risked the snow and stuff and gone, even with one of those killer migraines which make your head implode if you stand up to quickly or look at something too bright

[forevermusic]

Buy Puzzle or Infinity Land?

[Dominic.]

Buy Puzzle or Infinity Land?
I personally prefer Puzzle at the moment, still haven't got into Infinity Land...but I just downloaded Vertigo of Bliss and Blackened Sky so maybe I'll warm up to earlier Biffy...

[miss_meadows]

Buy Puzzle or Infinity Land?

Infinity Land:) Maybe it'll take you a few listens to get into it but then you'll simply love it! Maybe you should listen to a few songs like "Wave upon wave..." or "Got wrong" before buying it and see of you like them.

[Static Shadows]

Buy Puzzle or Infinity Land?

Definitely Infinity Land for me. Infinity Land made Biffy one of my favourite bands, whilst Puzzle put me off listening to them for about 2 years. For me it's that dramatic a difference. It's not that i'm a bitter old fan either, as I'd say Only Revolutions is probably my second favourite now after Infinity Land! But Infinity Land is full of twisted timings, riffs, and eccentric inventive rock, whilst Puzzle by contrast is mostly full of mind numbingly bland half-cooked ballads. Puzzle does have the occasional good song too (first 3 tracks are really good), but they really are increasingly occasional as the album drags on.

If you like Only Revolutions' softer songs then go for Puzzle (but beware that they're far shitter versions). If you like their heavier-riff based songs and eccentricities then go for Infinity Land.

[forevermusic]

As this is iTunes some songs have already been cherry-picked (Living Is A Problem, Who's Got A Match and Glitter and Trauma).

They do seem to have missed a word though in a song though - on there its called There's Such Thing As A Jaggy Snake.

[Futurellama]

Infinity Land definitely. It's the only Biffy album I like.

[agenthal]

Buy Puzzle or Infinity Land?

Infinity Land. Though my favorite is Vertigo of Bliss by far.

[Stewie26]

Infinity Land. Though my favorite is Vertigo of Bliss by far.This. VoB is probably one of my favourite albums ever at the moment.


I think this calls for favourite album orders? :p


Vertigo of Bliss
Infinity Land
Only Revolutions
Blackened Sky
Puzzle


Not sure with the BS/OR part, they swap around sometimes but the rest is pretty cemented...

So have you bought one of the albums yet?

I don't think, "Puzzle" is a bad album at all. It's just that most songs on it are about loss and/or death. If you've lost someone close to you yourself (which I don't hope as you're still quite young) you can surely relate to the album quite well. "Infinity Land" is a little more versatile and I just love it for its weirdness.

Good choice!;) But by the way, if you don't know Biffy's pre-Puzzle stuff yet, there's also a singles compilation of the first 3 albums simply called "Singles 2001 - 2005".

I bought Infinity Land and, as it is iTunes and I have heard/liked the song, cherry-picked Joy.Discovery.Invention for a slot on my iPod too.

I really probably shoulda bought that one though :facepalm::awesome:

Hope so.

I love Glitter & Trauma and I played Jaggy Snake for the first time, which I think is a decent song.

I also found out the studio where Biffy recorded Vertigo of Bliss in one day is near where I live and where I saw Biffy last weekend with the Foos. You learn something new every day. :)

[miss_meadows]

yeah, but that's evil.

:LOL:

But singles or Best Of/Greatest Hits compilations are good starting points for people who're just starting to discover/getting into a band. But we've done it right, he bought IL, so it's all going to be alright.;)

[Jacky Boy]

Biffy's set on Sonisphere was rather fantastic I thought, even if they did play every song on OR. It's probably one of the best all round performances I've seen from them even if the setlist wasn't completely to my liking, miles better than when they supported Foo Fighters a week before.

Oh, and Stress on the Sky was pure awesome :awesome:

Here's Biffy Clyro's performance on norwegian radio, they played God & Satan and Many of Horror. Link: http://p3.no/popsalongen/dette-er-intenst/ :D

[Dominic.]

Listening to Blackened Sky at the moment. First impressions are a lot better than with Infinity Land and Vertigo of Bliss

[Hi, how may I help you?]

Eish..

[forevermusic]

They were showing a 30 minute block of Biffy songs on the channel Greatest Hits TV and they showed:
That Golden Rule
Many of Horror
Mountains
Many of Horror (yes they showed that one again)
God & Satan
Semi-Mental
Booooom, Blast & Ruin

What an odd block. It's also weird watching the video for semi-mental and seeing Simon Neil clean shaven.

[Dominic.]

May as well rescue this thread and bump my play count at the same time

Just got a microphone and soundcard so recorded a cover of That Golden Rule
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuRtUF32Uvw&feature=channel_video_title

[harrypottermegan]

The start of Love Has A Diameter sounds a lot like U2......

[Stewie26]

I never really liked that song until the wembley dvd intro thing, and now I love it. I also agree, sounds a lot like U2. Reminds me of a faster version of With or Without you.

Yup.

It might be the channel though - on immediately after Biffy where The Killers and they showed Mr. Brightside twice, both times missing the song's intro and first verse.

Picked up the Revolutions DVD today. What is up with the tracklist on the back? Excludes about 6 songs :LOL:

It's violence right?

[forevermusic]

:LOL: I actually can see how you thought it was that.

Officially its "commend your violence" but I have heard various variations. At various points I have heard "command your violins", "commend your violins", "demand your violins" and "cheat and your violines" amongst overs.

[lucidity]

Joy Discovery Invention. What a tune. Time to listen to some early Biffy I think.

[Spin26]

57 is one of my favorite songs at the moment.

[sebby aka pup]

Does anyone know if Biffy's finished touring or are they continue to tour Only Revolutions for the rest of the year? It's just I think I remember reading some interview where they said they're going to continue touring until February 2012, but I can't find it....

Haha...Bill Bailey AND Biffy? Can't go wrong! I'd forgotten about his Love Song with the deer falling into the ravine! :LOL:

[Milky Joe]

Bill Bailey, AND Biffy AND Oceansize! really nice to see Mike Vennart get some airtime :)

I'm not a massive fan of Infinity Land or VoB but I do love Blackened Sky. I then went on Wikipedia to see the reviews. http://www.allmusic.com/album/r584101 1 and a half stars, oh dear :LOL:

But there isn't a single track on it I don't like really

[randomparrot]

http://www.nme.com/news/biffy-clyro/61228

Double album, probably coming out after the summer

[Futurellama]

oh no

[Jacky Boy]

Use Your Illusion III and IV, brilliant :LOL:

[Obi]

Biffy Clyro are severely intent on following Muse's career path. Sort of.

- Decent debut showing promise of things to come.
- Crazy second record that is still hailed by hardcore fans as their best
- Third album takes the band's sound to new levels
- The fourth album is the most successful to date, but not as popular amongst hardcore fans
- Fifth album is a pile of wank.


Now they want to go completely OTT.

[Jacky Boy]

That's a very, very good observation. At least Biffy are more productive, Blackened Sky came out 3 years after Showbiz and they've caught up with Muse, maybe in 10 years Muse will be following Biffy's career path?

[Jacky Boy]

Anyway, I'm actually really looking forward to the next album, since it's a double album there surely has to be more good songs than on OR, right?

[Milky Joe]

Hmm... well tbh, I don't think I trust Biffy to pull off a Double, Concept album. Probably gonna be 50% ballads :rolleyes:

[dip]

They essentially did a double album for OR

[Obi]

Hmm... well tbh, I don't think I trust Biffy to pull off a Double, Concept album. Probably gonna be 50% ballads :rolleyes:

Thing is, they're semi-decent at doing epics. Living is a Problem is pretty good (bar the 10 minute intro, or so it feels), and 9/15ths is a pretty wicked track. You can even find proggier tracks on the older stuff - Time as an Imploding Unit and Toys, Toys, Toys comes to mind.

We could certainly do without the ballads. :LOL:

[Jacky Boy]

Hmm... well tbh, I don't think I trust Biffy to pull off a Double, Concept album. Probably gonna be 50% ballads :rolleyes:

That would be terrible, unless they can do good ballads again like All the Way Down and Scary Mary

[ryanbmuff]

Is there any proshot of sonisphere?

[dip]

"We've got a progressive country song called Milky that's probably one of the weirdest things we've ever done. It starts out all prog, then it goes into a bluesy country vibe and then there's some slide guitar."

and there's nothing that a future X factor contestant would want to cover.


sounds amaze

[Gareeh]

"We've got a progressive country song called Milky that's probably one of the weirdest things we've ever done. It starts out all prog, then it goes into a bluesy country vibe and then there's some slide guitar."

sounds shite

[Obi]

Like that time they said they had a gothic math rock tune.

Or the time they called That Golden Rule stoner prog. BELLAMY-ESQUE BS I TELL YOU

[Gareeh]

I wouldn't want to imagine a braw threepiece Scottish rock band who play music topless make Country music then claim it to be progressive. Matthew Bellamy talks shit about things people don't care about, Neil talks shit about his own material. There lies the difference

[Ben93]

Struggling to think of any double album i've actually really liked. They always end up feeling just too long and drawn out, and i kind of think if the band had cut a few of the less good tracks they could have made one seriously good album instead...

Not saying this album will be good or bad yet, way to early to say, just i reckon they might be trying to push things a bit to far to be honest

I prefer OR to Puzzle personally

[Gareeh]

I prefer OR to Puzzle personally

And most people prefer TR to BHAR he listed it wrong but it still goes

[sebby aka pup]

Pretty excited about the double album. Sounds like 1 side might be a bit more radio-friendly and the 2nd side being more alternative and heavier.

Less excited by the fact that this means we will barely be getting any songs from the first 3 albums played live anymore.

[dip]

because we were already getting so many...

[Wingardium LevioSIA]

I prefer Puzzle to OR and The Resistance to BHAR, but that's beside the point.

A double album could be pretty cool. There's more opportunity that way for interesting stuff, the kind of tracks that might otherwise have ended up as B-sides. It could still go badly, but I like to think that after the X Factor nonsense they'll want to do something a bit surprising.

[agenthal]

because we were already getting so many...

...more than Muse do.

[dip]

well that's just not not true.

Muse at Wembley. 12/09/2010

8/21 songs from albums 1-3

Biffy Clyro at Wembley 4/12/2011

7/25 songs from albums 1-3

[Gareeh]

Yeah I was thinking that

Again, another similarity to the list

[dip]

The similarities have been made since at least puzzle, which is weird when musically they're not too similar.

[Gareeh]

The similarities have been made since at least puzzle, which is weird when musically they're not too similar.

If they were similar musically Biffy probably would get shoved away as a cheap imitation anyway - but another thing to notice is this is probably the first time they have made the same amount of albums previously and gone into making a new one at the same time and look, the layout of the album is already different.

I just hope both of them aren't disappointing, well none of them really but you know what I mean

[agenthal]

well that's just not not true.

Muse at Wembley. 12/09/2010

Biffy Clyro at Wembley 4/12/2011

Well that's just one show, and to be fair, it was for a commercial DVD. Makes sense they'd stick to more recent songs. They're pretty good about throwing in rarities though. On their recent tour they threw in stuff like Toys, Toys, Toys, Stress on the Sky, Convex, Concave, Hero Management, All the Way Down, etc. Also pretty excited I heard Breatheher.

[Ross]

well that's just not not true.

[Static Shadows]

I prefer OR to Puzzle personally

Definitely. By a long, long way. I simply don't buy the simplistic old school fan story that they're in decline. And I'm an old school fan!

But I am very wary of double albums. Especially double albums with some kind of "concept".

Muse at O2 13/11/2009

5/18 songs from albums 1-3

I was comparing setlist length, the stadium gig had a more comparative number of songs.

no, that was there whole arena tour setlist.

[agenthal]

no, that was there whole arena tour setlist.

Yeah, looking back on it, it was a pretty good setlist though :D At least they do play stuff from their first album. I bet if you compared songs from album 1-2 and not 3, the numbers would be a lot higher in Biffy's favor. :)

[dip]

not really the point of the conversation

[Gareeh]

Let's even compare them live. Muse are still superior.

[ryanbmuff]

Personally, i've had alot more fun at biffy gigs than a few muse gigs.

[dip]

I've seen better Muse shows, but Biffy are far more consistent.

[Gareeh]

I've seen better Muse shows, but Biffy are far more consistent.

I beg to differ. The Glasto '11 performance was absolutely horrendous

[dip]

I beg to differ. The Glasto '11 performance was absolutely horrendous

I think we might have been watching different bands. I thought they nailed it.

[dontask]

I think Muse have the edge live. Biffy are a little too raw sometimes.

[Max]

I think Muse have the edge live. Biffy are a little too raw sometimes.

That intrigues me. If a band of their level were quite raw-sounding live, in a good way, I'd think it to be a breath of fresh air.

[Jacky Boy]

I think that fact that Biffy sound pretty raw live is one of the things that make them a great live band.

Having said that, I thought their set when they supported Foo Fighters at MK was pretty poor, lacked the usual energy and I was pretty damn bored, thankfully they killed it at Sonisphere the following weekend so my faith was restored.

I agree with dip on the consistency thing, 1 poor gig out of the 11 times I've seen them is pretty damn consistent, whereas I've seen Muse 8 times and 2 or 3 of them have been pretty poor by their standards, do the math.

[Clunge]

do the math.
Do the what?

/ultimate bugbear.

Anyhoo, I've seen Biffy 2.13 times and they were ace 1.13 of those times. They were on auto-pilot the first time.

[agenthal]

I need to see Biffy in an arena setting so I can really compare them to Muse. Only seen them at small clubs in the U.S., which is hard to compare with production, crowds, etc (for me, at least).

[ryanbmuff]

I would do anything to see biffy in a tiny place again.

[agenthal]

Fair enough. It looks like their association with The Bronx has also led to them wanting to have a go at the mariachi thing, if someone hasn't already mentioned that.

Questions and Answers and Man Of His Appalling Posture kinda kill the flow for me.

Giving Infinity Land my second ever full listen through. Actually quite keen on it now. Just didn't do it first time round. I dunno, maybe my taste has changed

I've found Infinity Land is a grower. I thought it was just alright the first time I heard it, but now it's my favorite Biffy album.

I was like that when I first got Blackened Sky, understood why the die hard fans moaned about Puzzle and OR but I still love them both. Still need to give both VoB and IL a proper listen though

Don't think Puzzle deserves quite the amount of hate it gets either

I still have trouble getting into VoB. I like it and all, but I don't crave it I guess. And I like Puzzle a lot, so I don't get the hate either. :(

[Static Shadows]

Infinity Land was the first Biffy album I bought (in the week it was released!) and it's still my favourite. But I'd say Only Revolutions is probably my second favourite now. It took a year of listening to it, but it finally grew on me to a ridiculous extent. I love every track on both of those albums and love the flow to both.

Infinity Land for the eccentric unpredictable genius > Only Revolutions for the awesome eccentric rock songs and melodies > Blackened Sky for the murky distorted teenage sounds > Vertigo Of Bliss for the handful of amazing harder songs (but I've never loved it as an album, even after years of listening to it) > Puzzle for... the three good songs? There's no need to listen to Puzzle really.

[agenthal]

I feel the need to show VOB some love now. It's got all my favorites on it! Toys, Toys Toys, Now the Action, and All the Way Down! A Man Of His Appalling Posture and Liberate the Illiterate too. God, such a good album. The last 4 songs are just like BOOOM!

I enjoy Puzzle but I do prefer the other stuff to it

[Clunge]

Puzzle and Blackened Sky by far.

The rest are decidedly average.

[Gareeh]

Don't know how you can't think Infinity Land is above average

[Jamie™]

I'm actually addicted to this video. The Captain is by no means one of my favorites, but this performance <3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=op9nJBPly9w

Swear to god i'm watching that twice a day or something ridiculous. I cant wait for the double album though, and the new tour obv.

[Obi]

Forget genres, forget production ... it is all down to song writing. Imo Only Revolutions is just miles off Infinity Land in that respect.

[Dominic.]

I've listened to songs from IL 224 times in the past week :LOL:

My Blackened Sky Vinyl arrived :D I'll try and get some pictures tomorrow

Is it actually confirmed as a double album? I havnt heard anything solid, but to be fair, I'm pretty out of the loop. And that is an amazing performance :) OR was not the best album, but live those songs take on different (less poppy) forms.

[Jamie™]

They've said it is in numerous interviews, and with the amount of b sides off only revolutions, they'd be stupid not to make a double album! Imagine how insane OR would be if Lonely Revolutions was in the same package

I hope that doesn't mean they'll just rerelease OR b-sides though, as good as they are :unsure: Although after hearing the jokes on us, I'm definitely buying this one! *takes off pants*

[Jamie™]

They wont re release OR bsides

[bumpypotato]

Yeah, I wouldn't have thought so. I just hope it's better then OR

I don't know much about Biffy Clyro's new album. Has there been any new info of late or is the most recent when Simon Neil told NME they had a double album featuring songs about porcupines and Kinder Surprise eggs.

[Hi, how may I help you?]

(born on a horse :vomit:).

Whaaaa?

[Stewie26]

We have album names!

LP1: The Land At The End Of Our Toes

I have heard better album titles....Only Revolutions being one of them.

[Max]

Should have just called it The Band At The End Of Our Tether. At least then it would be funny.

[Jacky Boy]

I don't think the album names are that bad, but I don't really care tbh, it's the content of the album that matters at the end of the day

Can't decided If I like those titles or not

They seem very typical Biffy, which is good I have to say.


I don't mind them, though. I'm much more interested in the content rather than the title, but obviously titles mean it can't be far away :awesome:

[bumpypotato]

They remind me very much of Infinity Land :awesome:

[Static Shadows]

I really like both titles. I just don't like the concept of a double album! Or rather, I am extremely wary of it.

I can see what he means - I struggle to think of any real solid double albums. First thought was Thrice's Alchemy index pts 1 & 2, but they're more like 2 EPs stuck together to make an LP. If you account for parts 3&4, it does get weaker at points

Some of my favourite albums of all time are double albums, Mellon Collie, The Fragile, The Octopus, Grace For Drowning, The Wall... So I'm quite hopeful about it, then again it could turn out like Stadium Arcadium...

[SgtDong]

Had the pleasure of viewing the Biffy in their heyday when the lead dude jumped off a stage-amp and broke his mother-puffin leg. Was in the Glasgow QMU. Good night, poor company but the dude played on regardless...

The peeps I was with had a penchant for slashing each others bums with kitchen knives. Check me but this shit is true...

[bumpypotato]

That's actually a great album, it just has a couple of dud tracks.

[Jacky Boy]

That's actually a great album, it just has a couple of dud tracks.

Well, me and most people I've spoken to about it think it's pretty rubbish to be honest, more than just a couple of dud tracks. For me it's just so so bland, there's no stand out songs and it just drags on forever. It would have been much better if they'd just got the best tracks from both CDs and put them into one. Oh well, each to their own and all that.

See, I was disappointed by/don't love/don't like any of those albums. :LOL:

Double albums nearly always seem to me to be bloated. They usually seem to be either one or (at their best) one-and-a-half good albums diluted into two alright-poor albums. To be honest, I'm generally (if not always) against albums being more than 12 tracks maximum in length, with 11 tracks being ideal, so an album somewhere around the 20-30 mark is definitely too much! Like a good film, the best albums should have a flow and timing, and that includes knowing when to stop.

If they make two excellent 11-12 track albums, then fantastic. I will be incredibly happy, but very surprised! And it will be the first double album that I truly like.

That's actually a great album, it just has a couple of dud tracks.

A few? That had an entire album's worth of dud tracks. And only a half-decent album left once those truly dud tracks had been cut. :p

I would actually agree with this. It has some of my absolute favourite RHCP tracks, but there's so much fluff in between the,

If they do what thrice diid for the alchemy index, (each disc has 6 tracks) or something similar, then it could work. equally though, it's worth remembering bifft do seem to have a knack for writing awesome b-sides, so we could see the singles for it as double a-sides instead

That works because it would keep that sense of flow, timing and excitement that is obliterated by over-long albums, and double albums especially.

It's gonna take me some perseverance to get through two albums :LOL: BRING IT ON!

[Alec Ferris]

I've always thought Revolutions was better than most people here think, but I can see the general sound not stretching to a full double albums. From what they're saying, we'll get something much more varied.

I think the main problem with double albums is that if you have lots of variety it's hard to give it a cohesive identity, but if the sound's generally the same it gets monotonous. Hopefully Biffy will avoid that.

Sometimes I think that some people kind of tend to "go with the crowd" on these things and say a certain album is their favorite just because the vast majority of 'real' fans think a certain way. I cant speak for everyone though, I mean infinity is an insane album, but I'm surprised it's all the die hard's top. I kind of see the same with Muse and OOS. But OOS has always been my favorite, so I guess it could be the same with everyone on Biffy Clyro.

/rambling.

Strangely when I read that description I think of you amongst a few others :LOL: I've only caught on to it in the last month, that's why my Last.fm shows the album has been played like 8 times more than anything else in my library the last month

From stuff I've read in here I thought VoB was the 'fanboys favourite' although I never really got it

[WutDaFucksy]

Puzzle/Blackened Sky > Only Revolutions > Infinity Land/Vertigo of Bliss

[Jamie™]

Strangely when I read that description I think of you amongst a few others :LOL:

Why?

I guess good music takes a few listens (Kid A anyone?). I never thought much of IL until I gave it a proper listen.

[Max]

Puzzle is really average. I even managed to nap my way through it once.

[Dominic.]

I guess good music takes a few listens (Kid A anyone?). I never thought much of IL until I gave it a proper listen.

Oh various things like some stuff you said about Twilight you've said before and the pop thing in KnT recently. Don't take offence bby :kiss:

And yeah, it did take me a few listens. For ages the only song I really listened to off of IL was Glitter & Trauma and sometimes Wave Upon... when it came on shuffle. Now I love (close to) all the tracks. Although I tend to leave out G&T now because I've probably overplayed it too much compared to the others

[Qúentin Räikkönen]

I like most Biffy music, but to me Infinity Land is the only album that doesn't sound at least a little bit processed.

Also, VoB is my least favorite album of theirs by far I'm sorry if I offended you!!!!

[bumpypotato]

I think I may be one of the only people who actually loves Puzzle :LOL: Sure, it has some duller pop songs, and the rock version of Folding Stars makes me cringe, but in my opinion it is easily there most emotional and dark album, and that really draws me towards it.

The amazing thing about these guys, is that live even their poppier stuff becomes bad ass (Captain, anyone?)

[Dominic.]

I still love Living is a Problem

[Clunge]

Puzzle is ace. Only album that blends Biffy new and old without suffering from gash songwriting.

Blackened Sky is brilliant for the same reason, just with a rawer/unpolished edge.

[Jamie™]

Puzzle is epic in places.

[Hennersby]

Infinity Land is my favourite Biffy record; its got some very good songwriting and its subject matter as well as execution is really heavy, they likely won't best it.

However, this double album sounds like it could be at least an improvement on OR, which I thought was good enough anyway, it was the first Biffy album I heard (That Golden Rule winning me over), because the concept Simon Neil talked about intrigues me. It could of course turn out badly but to me one album being about right decisions and one being about wrong decisions at a metaphorical fork in the road sounds pretty good. Particularly the 'wrong decisions' part, that has the ever present 'dark' written all over it. (to me... time will tell if I'm utterly wrong :D )

[Jamie™]

I like the idea of having a mirror up in between albums - so one album has songs on it, the other album has another interpretation of those songs - maybe the new Biffy and old Biffy?

If that makes sense. Like if an album was in a parallel universe or something.

Oooh! Like Hyper Music/Hyper Chondriac Music!

[Obi]

Puzzle is ace. Only album that blends Biffy new and old without suffering from gash songwriting.

Blackened Sky is brilliant for the same reason, just with a rawer/unpolished edge.

Puzzle's basically a Muse album. Completely over-the-top with BIG hooks (emphasis on big) that fail to disguise the completely unambitious song-writing. Conversation Is... might be my least favourite Biffy track for this reason (Captain is beginning to run it close)

And Blackened Sky's basically a SDRE album.


Okay, they're rubbish generalisations. But I'd definitely argue that Infinity Land and Vertigo of Bliss are the two albums that were the best balanced and most exciting to listen to. The most 'Biffyish' anyway. I just can't recognise Biffy anymore - they're just a smorgasbord of different ... shite.

[Jamie™]

Well I'd be happy if Muse delivered something like Puzzle for number 6... (or OR to an extent - TGR esque would be epic)

I am really interested in seeing what BC do next really, I mean, they are an unpredictable band imo.

See, I totally disagree! I'd say Puzzle is the only Biffy album that suffers from gash/incredibly dull songwriting. I like 2 or 3 songs on it. The rest is awful. Remains the only Biffy album I don't like. I was so relieved when Only Revolutions came out, as it had decent songs, catchy vocals, awesome riffs on it and flashes of Infinity Land eccentricity, rather than Puzzle's extensive collection of bland, piss-poor ballads which failed to even write a decent hook.

I'd say almost exactly the same about OR - the songs are just dire for the most part, with the exception of That Golden Rule and Bubbles which sum up everything I love about Biffy.

Songs like Know Your Quarry, Many Of Horror, Born On A Horse, Whorses and Shock Shock are just gash.

Hey-ho.

[Max]

I will agree that Know Your Quarry is absolutely foul.

[Static Shadows]

Songs like Know Your Quarry, Many Of Horror, Born On A Horse, Whorses and Shock Shock are just gash.

Hey-ho.

For me, half of Puzzle can be summed up by taking Many Of Horror and Know Your Quarry, and then replacing their incredibly catchy vocal melodies with tediously dull ones. Or take Whorses (my least favourites on OR) and replace it's gallop and distortion with half-arsed strings and a ballad worthy drum beat.

I'd also add Born On A Horse is eccentric enough to slot wonderfully into Infinity Land (plus it has awesome vocals!), and Shock Shock has more life and energy in it than the vast majority of Puzzle put together.

They're certainly all far better than As Dust Dances, A Whole Child Ago, Now I'm Everyone, Love Has A Diameter, Folding Stars, and Machines. And I'm not exactly a huge fan of the rest of the album outside of Living Is A Problem, Saturday Superhouse and Semi-Mental. When Puzzle came out Biffy were one of my top 3 favourite bands. Following Puzzle I barely listened to them for the two or three years, past the occasional dip into the by then rather over-played back catalogue. It left a rather unfavourable impression on me to put it mildly! OR, whilst poppy (although they've always had that side to them) actually restored my faith in them, and has since grown to being my joint 2nd favourite Biffy album, tied with Blackened Sky & just behind Infinity Land.

[bumpypotato]

I will agree that Know Your Quarry is absolutely foul.

I disagree, I think it's a decent song, but when you compare /it to their other stuff most of the album (minus Golden Rule, ofc) is a bit of a slap in the face. Of course, live the songs totally transform.

[Obi]

Sorry, are we talking about the same albums?

I've been a biffy fan for years so I do hope so...
