I had been curious about Biffy Clyro for a while, so I finally decided to buy Puzzle and Only Revolutions based on which songs I liked best so far. On Puzzle my favorites are Who's Got A Match? and As Dust Dances. I can't yet compare this album to everything Biffy Clyro has done, but I think it's an all-over good and solid rock album. As expected of them.
Quick postage, perfect, thanks

A truly phenomenal album! A must for fans of Biffy Clyro, Foo Fighters and alternative music as a whole. Plenty of fantastic singles on here, as well as a mix of songs that are catchy, heavy and mellow. Brilliant band!
Anyone who’s loved Biffy Clyro over the last few years will be no stranger to heartbreak. We valiantly cheered them on as they released album after album to the growing adulation of their small army of militant fans, but, unfortunately, the indifference of the wider public. They had great songs, sure, but true greatness always escaped their grasp. However, four albums into their career as rock’s best-kept secret, and it looks as if the underdogs have cracked it. The foundations have been there all along: they did ‘emo’ – at least, its modern interpretation – before anybody else did, and before the word itself became loaded with images of crying boys, songs about cancer, and Pete Wentz’s penis. Were it not for Simon Neil’s slight Scottish lilt, any layman unfamiliar with Biffy’s lunatic Nirvana-meets-Weezer-meets-QOTSA melange would wrongly assume they made their home in America. Were that the case, ‘Puzzle’ would make a lot more sense – so different is it from any other British-born rock record of the past five years, owing more to the windswept limbo of the Big Country than any provincial town centre. Biffy’s world is a strange one, where tales of jaggy snakes and old men selling bones on the street are the norm, where choruses are monumental and song structures devious.
