waltz Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Used to be my favourite band, but post-infinity land Biffy is terrible, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovers_spit Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I used to be a huge biffy fan.I agree. Post inifinity biffy is horrible. Like a poor mans nirvana, or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all_his_engines Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I recently picked up "Vertigo of Bliss", which is the only Biffy album I own. I think it's absolutely progtastic, but their newer stuff sounds horribly generic. Still, I'll give this new song a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_matter Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 What euan said. Times a million. It's a shame to see such a good band sucking so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 One boring song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all_his_engines Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Y'know, I have to disagree. Despite my earlier scepticism, after listening to the track on the Radio 1 website I'm actually very impressed by it. A slight Devin Townsend influence in my opinion, although I'll now get lynched for saying that.I certainly like it a lot more than anything off their last album.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I've not had a listen, but I'll hazard a guess and say it sounds like Foo Fighters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Biffy were without a doubt one of my top 5 bands before Puzzle. It's still a good album, but it's NOTHING compared to the old stuff. I feel the exact same with this song- nice song, few really good bits, but it's not a patch on any tunes from Blackened Sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 I love Biffy. I wasn't enthralled by this song, though. Just... hmm. I even liked Puzzle too. I'm going to blame this on 14th Floor, because I'm too spineless to dislike Biffy themselves. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ 10 Easy Wishes Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I love Biffy. I wasn't enthralled by this song, though. Just... hmm. I even liked Puzzle too. I'm going to blame this on 14th Floor, because I'm too spineless to dislike Biffy themselves. :oI think I might agree with you here. They said themselves that it was time to earn a bit of cash after their many many years of slogging it out and Puzzle was catered towards a much larger audience. I suppose it shows something of Simon Neil's song writing skills that he can write 3 brilliant albums that created a massive cult following, then write a radio friendly pop album that still retains a bit of the old and throws in a few money earners seemingly effortlessly. This new song however might be a grower, but I'm sceptical. I love Biffy, they are my one of my favourite bands among the who and radiohead etcI like the ones without piano though.......weezer never really did piano ever did they? have they?

Sam 45 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Vertigo of Bliss is genius. Depsite the fact it took me 3 years of owning it to start to appreciate its greatness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elizabeth Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I still maintain Blackened Sky is better than Vertigo.However much I love Vertigo, BS is just choon after choon after choon. It pretty much can't be faulted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
