Biffy Clyro - 'Machines'

starstarstarstarno star

Events so far this year have sent Biffy Clyro's expectations for the future rocketing to new heights with more high profile support act slots than could have ever been imagined, considering their previous successes, including time spent with aged rockers The Who and The Rolling Stones as well as rock gods Red Hot Chili Peppers. On a reflective note the band now release 'Machines' which as any avid Biffy Clyro fan will know is the closing track to their critically acclaimed album 'Puzzle' but sees itself reworked here offering an alternative version for those die-hard fans to savour.

Following the now alternative line to supplying less heavy and experimental tracks and more melodic, commercially viable and widely accessible tracks, 'Machines' blends a melodic mixture of interwoven guitar picks and riffs, subtle bass lines and drums against the superbly emotive vocals of Fugazi influenced lead vocalist Simon Neil. With many of Biffy Clyro's lyrics winging their way into being through Neil's erratic dreams and day to day skewed conversations Biffy Clyro's tracks will never be short of a talking point or two, 'Machines' simply offers nothing but a pure unadulterated poetic quality.

Released 08/10/07 on 14th Floor.
