    Ouch, this is bad bad bad rock. Read the glowing review in Q, picked it up and found over-produced, under-inspired music industry product.

    I love this album, they seem to have struck a great balance between riffage and balads, this will surely thrust them in to the big league where their sound belongs.

    Trite rubbish. Cannot believe this rehash of every cliche in rock is being hailed as some sort of second coming.

    I'm sorry but how does 6 scores of 8/10 equate to an average of 84%. This site's stupid! Album's not bad!

    The first time I listened to this album I thought that it sounded like a well sized cheese sandwich without any bread, the second time around pretty much confirmed my suspections. Musically this is Biffy yet far removed from what Biffy have done in the past, whether it's good or bad no one can blame them for that.. call it natural progression, or an abandoning of progression? Lyrically the themes or should I say theme becomes quite tiresome and repetitive after a few songs, I feel that after several listens I don't think I'm going to get anything more from this record, normally I would try to stick it out but .... I just can't do it any longer.… Expand

    Good stuff from the boys yet again. It's more a continuation on what Puzzle started rather than a return to their older [and some would say better] form, but you can't deny the talent, great melodies, catchy as 'Foooook' - Pity Pitchfork media will drag the score right down when they get hold of it.

    Many of Horror, Bubbles, Boom Blast & Ruin. 3 reasons why you need to buy this album and play it loud.

    Foo Fighters lite it may be but there are enough good tracks on this to merit a place in the record collection. The best tracks are top quality and the worst tracks are harmlessly bland, but not offensive or terrible. Rather than buying the record I’d download the best tracks (mainly the singles)

    A turn towards pop has alienated some fans of their earlier work, but almost everything here could be released as a single, and that's an undeniably winning achievement.

    Can you hear it? It's here! Biffy finally make that sprint-burst into the rock stratosphere and trample over the competition like badly tattooed elephants smashing through dead branches.

    It's likely that their slabs of noise are too explosive. But for Team Biffy, their followers, this is a strength, not a failing.
