Biffy Clyro - Puzzle

Facts 2007 album from this oddly-named British band sees them making the bold and ambitious record that will both satisfy their huge and devoted fan base and win the hearts of countless others, cementing their reputation as the best and most important Rock band in the UK. The album includes the singles 'Living Is a Problem Because Everything Dies' and 'Saturday Superhouse', which found the band breaking into the Top 15 for the first time, and received high critical acclaim with the NME. Mixed in New York by Andy Wallace (Nirvana, at the Drive-In) and with artwork by Storm Thorgerson (Pink Floyd, Led Zepellin), Puzzle marks Biffy's transformation into a truly world-beating band. From the soaring 'Semi-Mental' to the bludgeoning punch of 'Saturday Superhouse' through the swollen intensity of the slow-burning 'As Dust Dances' and to the glorious foot-stomping live favorite 'Who's Got a Match?', Puzzle packs an emotional punch with 24-carat choruses shot through with Biffy's trademark sideways approach to songwriting. It also sees them anchor some of their most outlandish ideas (check the staggering '9/15ths') with the sort of clear and crisp melodies that this three-headed powerhouse have been hinting at since the days of 'Justboy' and '27'.
