Biffy Clyro are “da bomb” (apologies for using such a 90’s phrase). To demonstrate this statement I have a great example: Their new album, "Only Revolutions," starts with 'The Captain.' The intro sounds like it belongs in a John Williams soundtrack; think Star Wars more than E.T, although despite this, the video is more Pirates of the Caribbean. It is a fabulous, if a little cheesy, track one.

On the whole, "Only Revolutions" is great. "Puzzle" was also great and all their work before that. It's confusing how such a fantastic band are not as popular as they should be. Their videos alone should up the female audience, after all, who wouldn't want to see Simon with his top off (and if you watch the video for The Captain, he’s dancing in a cage, in a similar way to Shakira in the 'She Wolf' vid)!? Understandably the male audience aren't so bothered about the semi-naked (and obviously self indulgent) videos, however the album is a clever mix of rock and pop. The soothing Scottish vocals heavily mixed with grinding guitars, ballads and clever orchestration are enticingly spectacular, tempting you in to listen on repeat.

'Many Of Horror' is slow and sad. 'I still believe it’s you and me ‘till the end of time' leads us into the chorus. It’s pretty and longing. Although mellower than it’s sister songs, it fits perfectly with the continuity of the album. It is rumored that 'Many Of Horror' will be released as the forth single from the album.

'That Golden Rule' was the second release from "Only Revolutions." It’s exciting and energetic, with lots of shouting, prominent guitars and big drums. Hitting number 10 in the UK charts, it was a reasonable success, however it didn’t have the success of the previous single. That was 'Mountains,' which reached number 5 and was the bands biggest chart success to date. Mountains, for some strange reason, was released in August 2008 however the album wasn’t out until November 2009, with 'That Golden Rule' hitting the shops in August 2009. That is a lot of statistics to get through, but all you need to know is that they are all bloody good singles.

In short, without writing a small essay, the album is great. It has everything you want from an album - humour, emotion, excitement and melancholia. The vocals are sometimes soft, sometimes gravely, there is something to cry to and something to dance to. The videos have been made with panache and love and the album has been tweaked and perfected by three Scottish musicians who, without a doubt, are passionate and talented to the core.
