Setlists

[Com Truise]

Yeah that'd be good but it'd just push Editors further down the bill, so I'd rather they just swapped The Lumineers and Editors (although that obviously won't happen)

[giantwagon]

Not sure to be honest, it's more that it just looks wrong having The Lumineers higher I think

It's beautiful

It's beautiful

[giantwagon]

I like that as well, although my personal preference would be to finish the 'main' set with Living Is A Problem and finish the encore with Folding Stars. Still, great balance of songs from each album and good choice of songs. Nice job

[Gucci Piggy]

As long as Editors open with Sugar I don't care what else they play. Although there'll be no room for gems like You Are Fading, unfortunately.

[Com Truise]

Just put Kerrang on and Biblical is playing, not gonna lie, I do really love Biffy's ballads, all their stuff is just absolutely brilliant, even Only Revolutions has risen drastically in my eyes lately

[giantwagon]

Only Revolutions has always been a brilliant album, just because it was their most 'mainstream' (I use that word very loosely) meant that people automatically said it was their worst. Bit silly really.

And yes, they are bloody brilliant

[Com Truise]

OR was the album that introduced me to them because it was more commercial, and when I started listening to their older stuff I was pretty surprised, and in comparison it made OR sound pretty poor, but it's definitely grown on me a lot recently

[giantwagon]

Fair enough. Like you, OR got me massively 'into' them, but Puzzle was the album that first got me listening to them, and there isn't one track on it that I dislike. My favourite Biffy album by far.

I've just realised that this may be why I bang on about Living Is A Problem and Folding Stars all the time.

[giantwagon]

That'd be immense because Hero Management and 57 are both in my top....shall we say......7 Biffy songs

Seriously though, how are they so good?

Biffy albums in reverse order of preference.

[lightning1000]

Good article, although I'd say blackened sky is just as much a collection of songs as vertigo is. Difference being there's not a song on vertigo I don't really like whereas there's a couple on blackened sky. All personal opinion of course.

[Com Truise]

I think the fact that all their albums are all clearly different, yet they're all still so clearly Biffy makes them such a great band, Blackened Sky and Opposites are 2 ends of the spectrum, yet they've both got that Biffy sound. I dunno they're just great lmao

[Spud001]

I always feel a little different when I tell people my favourite Biffy album is Puzzle. I just think as a concept it is flawless and never ceases to affect me. I've spent countless nights deciphering it with friends trying to figure out what the songs reflect, but the views always change which is what makes it such a stunning album really.

I adore Blackened Sky but I do think they hadn't found their footing yet on it, it's got a couple of my favourite Biffy songs on it but you can't argue that it's a little samey. But equally incredible

I seem to neglect Only Revolutions a little, mainly as I feel the songs on the album hold nothing against how they are translated live. I also feel the songs lack the poetry of Simon's lyricism that is particularly evident in Puzzle. Still as I say they own when played live. That Golden Rule should never leave their set.

I feel bad about ranking their albums, as I don't really have one which is my least favourite. They're probably the only one of my favourite bands who I think don't have a bad album.

At least you're guaranteed at least 5 of those, you will be converted

[Yellow_Fellow]

listen to Infinity Land

[Gucci Piggy]

Never got on with Infinity Land. Haven't listened to it for ages. Don't even have it on my iTunes for some reason. I should probably give it another go soon.

[Gucci Piggy]

I have, didn't like it. I just don't get on with them.
