If there's one band that can make well over an hour of alternative rock feel fresh throughout, it's Biffy Clyro.
There's an awesome variety of genres on display here. From the monsterous opener "Different People", to the pop rock of "Black Chandelier" and "Biblical", to the quirky and heavy "Little Hospitals", there's plenty to enjoy.
Only Revolutions sees the Scottish trio continue their foray into a more radio-friendly sound. There's still the quirky time signatures, heavy guitars and wailing vocals that earlier fans where accustomed to at this point, but now there is an aura of polish that some will love, and others won't. For me, it's a bit of both with a lot of the tracks being best enjoyed on the Revolutions at Wembley album.
Puzzle is an emotional album when combined with the context of frontman Simon Neil loosing his mother during the writing of this album. And this emotion spills out on tracks throughout this album with some of the band's most emotional performances to date.
Biffy Clyro's heaviest album by quite a long way. Raw, visceral as hell and very ambitious too with some tracks that really push the alternative rock genre.
An amazing combination of grunge and post-hardcore. From beginning to end, Simon Neil and co explore a wide variety of music, from the radio-friendly sounds of tracks like 27, to the heavy and visceral Stress on the Sky, there's something for everyone here. It's raw, powerful and definitely heavy. It's a bold debut.
Oh dear. I really didn't like that, unfortunately. There's more autotune than actual singing and the rest of the song is very overproduced mediocrity.
I love Billy Joel, but this isn't it, at least in my opinion
One of the most interesting indietronica vibes I have come across. It's like a mix of modern indie with Whitney Houston tinged pop. It's a really cool vibe.
An awesome mix of soul, psychedelia and even a bit of dance. One for those that love their albums with lots of variety.
The funky boys are back with an EP that's funky and fun. Nothing groundbreaking, just really good funk
Gizzard's second offcuts albums has a lot to enjoy and it's variety makes it a very interesting listen and a good gateway into this era of the band's music
The original Yellow Submarine albums was, maybe correctly, met with overall "meh". However, you cannot deny how much the album absolutely slaps. Definitely up their with their best.
This is a pretty good indie pop affair but there's only a handful of tracks here that stand out amongst the crowd. Still, a decent listen.
A decent record with some superb tracks but also some mediocre areas. Etta is definitely a superb songwriter but her songwriting does need a little bit of development
Some absolutely banging noisecore on show here. It's extremely ferocious and as the band describes themselves, one of the hardest sounds I've heard. Which is basically just standard Melt-Banana. If you want to give your ears a full-on assault, this album will do the trick.
What a magical experience. Brutal production, awesome chops, brutal vocals, mega breakdowns and choruses. This is a magnificently noisy, dirty and sweaty affair
Those short tracks at the end just don't do it for me, unfortunately. Some great tunes smattered throughout, though
