    Never quite settling where you think it might. Biffy Clyro can seem like two bands: a trio whose ringing Gaelic positivity and guitar bluster can shake a festival headline slot, and a gnarlier, more messed-up proposition.

This albums has everything from ready-ready pop to heavy-hitting rock and that's what I love about it. There is never a dull moment with every song sounding unique and with the band sounding as tight as ever. It's a fantastic album that is only slightly let down by the questionable vocal production on some of the songs such as The Champ and Space where they are just too distorted. But overall, a fantastic album.… Full Review »
