Well this has got them talking in the office and not because of the music.
The old duffers are shocked at the adverts accompanying this release (and indeed the cover shot of the album).
We present the sanitised version. In full flow, well, let’s say the lady in question is having enough fun without a man.
So do Biffy Clyro need to resort to such shock tactics in order to make pubescent boys but their product?
Frankly no because this is a pretty decent collection of songs.
It all starts in a heavy, almost nu metal mode on Bodies in Flight. But fears that the Biffs are just another bunch of Linkin Park wannabies are soon dismissed.
This is a collection which veers in musical styles. It’s difficult to pin them down. Maybe safer to say they’re a (very) heavy version of Athlete.
Not that you can find out much about the band from the CD packaging which is, frankly, rubbish.
Aside from the attention grabbing drawing you get a picture of the trio and a few liner notes.
Poor.
Which is a shame, because musically, Biffy Clyro are a band which you want to find out more about.
