   A great listen from start to finish. Pushes the Biffy sound forward while keeping all the heartfelt softness and crushing riffs you expect.A great listen from start to finish. Pushes the Biffy sound forward while keeping all the heartfelt softness and crushing riffs you expect.
   
   For me it ends on a massive high with one of my favourite ever tracks, 'slurpy slurpy sleep sleep' is just devastatingly good.

Admittedly a couple of songs were quite weak (Existed/DumDum I didn't enjoy as much, and I find the intro to Slurpy Slurpy Sleep Sleep slightly annoying, although the rest of the song is brilliant) but genuinely there are some of the best songs they've ever produced on this album, and the more I listen to it the more I enjoy it!… Expand

Obviously the band branched out into less bleak and more widely accessible writing territory which did wonders for their commercial appeal and they are legitimately very talented writers of pop songs but that was never why I fell in love with them.
   
   Their ability on Infinity Land and also their earlier works to seamlessly combine supremely unsettling passages with bouncy pop hooks was incredibly unique and appealing to me but it feels like as their sound progressed, more and more of that eerie unsettling vibe was getting left on the cutting room floor. I'm happy to report that Myth leans surpisingly heavily back into that territory. Tracks like Holy Water feel like a great marriage between the two musical worlds Biffy have created over their long and storied career.
   
   This is the blend of their previous works and newer endeavours I've been hoping the band would produce for a long time now and I hope it's not just an anomaly because even though it's not as commercially viable, some of their best compositions are to be found on their first 3 albums (particularly album 3, Infinity Land).
   
   Whilst this album still doesn't go quite as far as I'd like back into that excellent territory, it does enough for a lapsed fan like myself to find enough to cling onto whilst also satiating the newer more commercial fanbase they've accrued in recent years.
   
   Fingers crossed they can carry this balance through into their future output because it's a big relief to have one of my previously favourite artists come back into my life in a way that I find engaging to listen to again.… Expand

Distinguished by an energetic, creative and never boring sound, as well as a combination of countless genres, that sometimes you even wish they would finally choose one.
   
   Sonically it could be better elaborated, because sometimes the music sounds dull and fuzzy and at other parts it is just all over the place. Overall though, there are some punching, hard-riffing songs on there and even if it's not as excellent as the critics say; it's a solid rock album from Biffy.
   
   My favorites:
   "A Hunger in Your Haunt"
   "Unknown Male 01"
   "Holy Water"
   "Errors in the History of God"
