Amazon.co.uk Review
Only Revolutions, the fifth long-player from Biffy Clyro, is a far cry from this Ayr trio’s earlier, reliably embittered emissions. Long gone is the abrasive post-grunge that characterised albums like 2002’s The Vertigo Of Bliss, replaced by polished production, uplifting melodies and a grand, orchestral palette. This doesn’t meant Biffy have succumbed to the sort of blanding out that afflicts so many bands that clean up their act, though--indeed, in many ways they’ve become a more complex, idiosyncratic musical force, touting big anthems laced with creative eccentricity. The likes of "The Golden Rule" and "Born On A Horse" take their cue from Muse, fitting up songs with progressive twists and turns, not to mention some curiously elliptical wordplay. "I pronounce it aluminium/'Cause there’s an I next to the U and M", spits Simon Neil on the latter, over an offbeat keyboard groove. Elsewhere, "The Golden Rule" hitches hectic riffage and gang vocals to an unashamedly epic symphonic outro, while "Shock Shock" channels relationship angst into something cosmically terrifying: "You scratch and you scratch 'til your face comes away, replaced by a hole or a vortex", sings Neil, over an bracing barrage of guitars. --Louis Pattison

 A new Biffy fan -highly delighted February 27, 2010

I will keep this short. I heard 'captain' and 'many of horrors' on a local rock radio station and bought this album not knowing anything about the band. I think it is the most consistantly great track album I have bought for a long time, I love it and would tell others to but it.
I will now be looking at their other material. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Best CD I Nearly Didn't Buy! April 5, 2010

I was only going to download Many of Horror which I thought would be the stand out track, glad I didn't!
Take a few listens, ignore the weird lyrics at times and you've got an original sounding thumping good rock Cd!
Highlights are MoH, Bubbles, Mountains, Captain, God & Satan.
Great album February 11, 2010

Have heard mixed reviews before purchasing this album. From the music that I had heard from it I thought it would be worth a punt.
I'm glad I did as It's one of the best albums I've bought for a while. Very powerfull and moving.
They've done it again! January 7, 2010

Biffy Clyro are defintly getting better. They just can't write a bad song anymore. Even the weaker songs are really good, and Simon's lyrics are great and at times mental as ever. There are some standout songs here, such as the incredibly catch Born on a Horse and fast paced single That Golden Rule. Hopefully this will push them into the mainstream, as they are deserving of it.
5 stars!!! December 25, 2009
