johndoe93 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'm new to all this festival stuff and was just wondering where did the Biffy Clyro rumour come from? And why is everybody so convinced that it's them who's going to headline? No one had any idea it was going to be Eminem so the next two headliners could be absolutely anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtourette Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) That Black Crow guy has vanished since Soni was cancelled, I bet he's waiting for Sabbath not to headline R&L before he comes back just so he's got something he thinks he can throw at Neil. "You said Sabbath were headlining R&L" "No I didn't" "You said they were in talks" "They were" "But they can't have been as they aren't playing" "Yes they could, the talks just didn't go anywhere" "I knew you were wrong" "I wasn't" "You had them down as SR" "Because they were, but the rumour didn't go anywhere" "You said Sabbath were headlining R&L" "No I didn't" "I knew you were wrong" "I wasn't" ............... "Soni will definitely be on next year" Edited January 23, 2013 by mrtourette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I really REALLY do have very excellent sources for this, so it really shouldn't be wrong unless the band all get killed in a car crash before the announcement or something.

mrtourette Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 I had a mental imagine of Black Crow tinkering with the brakes on the band's tour bus just so he can prove Neil wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 the album's a big step up from Only Revolutions imo. maybe it's because there are more songs and so they've been able to put more ideas out there, but it seems a lot less 'made with arenas in mind' than a lot of songs from OR, i.e. Many Of Horror. still has it's big ballad-like moments, but they're a lot less cringey. pleasently surprised i must say! was readying myself to hate this and never listen to it more than once but i'll definitely be returning. double albums are almost always a 'make or break' deal for bands but Biffy have really pulled it off (and this is all coming from somebody who has always strictly been in the 'they kinda sold out' boat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtourette Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Yeah good post. Cringey, that's the word to describe listening to their last album. I've definitely had my head turned in the last week or so from what I've heard. I'll probably illegally download this with the intention of buying it if I like it and then not buy it regardless.

dip Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 It's a lot more free-flowing and assured. The songs have been crafted to sound huge without the backing of an arena-size chorus. It's why songs like God and Satan, Many Of Horror and Bubbles have little relistening value on record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
