BIFFY CLYRO Puzzle (2007 UK 13-track CD album includes Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies picture sleeve lyric booklet picture sleeve in an artist/title clear stickered jewel case)
Amazon.co.uk
Its been a less than Roman trail up to this point for long-haul, stubbly Scot trio Biffy Clyro. From the proto-grunge of their debut, through gathering melodic grandeur, progressive cross-genre experimentalism, brief indie accessibility and some truly heavy songwriting, to say theyve surpassed expectations along the way is an understatement as large as the chasm between their original potential and subsequent accomplishment. They had doggedness and resilience from the off, they were a roughly musical Glasgow-kiss that left a mark and no doubt one or two fractures, but as persuasive as they might have been the Biffy Clyro of then could never have written the Queen vs. Fall Out Boy orchestral future-emo audaciousness of "Living Is a Problem Because Everyone Dies". That they did now should give Muse and Panic at the Disco cause for concern. What theyve done with Puzzle then that they havent exactly done before is marry their experimental bent with their swelling urge for accessibility, brilliantly. Acoustic "Machines" and rocketing "Saturday Superhouse" could be from the respective flip-sides of the Foo Fighters double album, In Your Honour, only with that glint in the eye that long since evaded Grohls mob. Hell, they even go a touch post-punk with bells on for a flash on "A Whole Child Ago". Is there nothing they wont turn their hands to and wring dry without breaking a sweat? Still waiting to find it. - - James Berry
Review
Biffy Clyro's fourth album is an ambitious modern rock record with plenty of variety and surprising twists.
Tracks like 'Saturday Superhouse' race along efficiently enough. But it feels like the band are more comfortable with more melodic, lyrical moods than angst ridden post-Nirvana rock. The current single 'Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies' and '9/15ths' feature tinny gothic choirs and Psycho-style strings, but I'm not convinced anything really nasty is going to happen.
Much better is the more subtle, rumbling, melodic pleasure of 'As Dust Dances' which is pretty gorgeous and ends with the first of two lovely piano interludes. Biffy Clyro's heart lies in big, lyrical, sincere, stirring music. On the metal map they're closer to U2 than Metallica.
The range of ideas is impressive. Prog fans will enjoy the end of 'Now I'm Everyone' where the tricky time signature and lush harmonies end up sounding like Yes. 'Who's Got A Match' is a sing along stomper, and beefy riffs abound on 'Semi-Mental' and 'Get F****d Stud'.
The puzzle is whether this record is too tasteful to live up to their world beating ambitions. The over clean production filters out dirt or sweat so it sometimes feels hard to get involved.
The stand out track 'Folding Stars' breaks through that barrier and is really thrilling. Hundreds of years ago, a man sang a song to a woman he couldn't have or couldn't hold. All men have been singing that song ever since, at one time or another, and 'Folding Stars' is that song. If all of Puzzle was as good as this, Biffy Clyro would be not be taking on the world, they'd have conquered it. --Nick Reynolds
