Fantastic, if a little soft April 3, 2008

I have previous Biffy Clyro albums and agree they are excellent, I also agree with the people that state this is vastly different. Reading the reviews of this album shows that Biffy have polarised peoples opinions. br / br /I think that peoples main problem is that they have become popular, they get played on the radio a lot and are not this little underground cult band anymore, there are some dodgy songs on this album but every album has one or two ("folding stars" comes to mind). It is also a little softer than I would have personally hoped for but it is also as catchy as herpes, the lyrics at certain points are weak but at other times are amazing. br / br /The start of "Living is a problem..." is slightly comical but its also unexpected (and we wouldn't want a band to keep churning our the expected) and the song feels so good when it explodes it feels so so good. "Machines" is incredibly moving with incredibly touching lyrics, especially if you have been through a similar experience to Simon Neill. "Who's got a Match?" is a pure pop song, but oh what a pop song. br / br /This album has a lot to offer to people new to Biffy Clyro, fans of the indie genre, fans of rock music, fans of metal (who have a softer inside) but you do need to come into it with an open mind. The big problem for the Biffy fans who hate it is they are trying something new, but wouldn't life be boring if everyone always did the same thing.

I thought I was getting too old for this but when I nicked this album from my sons bedroom it blew me away!!! br /Biffy Clyro really rock and this album grows and grows,and its not one dimensional. br /Check out the sensitive "As Dust Dances",a beautifully building ballad reminiscent of Nada Surf at their best. br /Its all very accessible with loads of great hooks and choruses (Whos got a match?...like The Proclaimers being backed by the Offspring???) br /Folding Stars is the most immediate track,but there is a lot more depth on this record.I pick up hints of The Psychedelic Furs and Midnight Oil br /in parts,and even some Rezillo,s style guitar,which cant be bad. br /The writing and playing is really top notch,this album deserves a repeated listen

At first play this album was mediocre at best. Even for the first couple of weeks it didn't quite reach the parts other albums reach. However, after taking it out of the car, replacing it with albums such as The Enemy, Wombats and Pigeon Detectives, I listened again this week and was blown away by its sophistication and melodies. br / br /I'm not sure if the aforementioned numbed my senses making Puzzle seem so much better, or whether I'd genuinely had a moment of madness when first listening to it. br / br /In conclusion, its a good sophisticated album (not great) which is better than 95% of the drivel out there espoused by Radio 1, MTV2 et al.
