"Only Revolutions" is the fifth studio album from the Scottish modern rock trio Biffy Clyro, released on November 6, 2009, under 14th Floor Records. Following the success of their 2007 album "Puzzle," Biffy Clyro once again teamed up with producer Garth Richardson to craft this 42-minute journey through 12 tracks of dynamic and experimental rock music.
The album marks a departure from the darker themes of "Puzzle," offering a more upbeat and varied sound. Tracks like "The Captain," "That Golden Rule," and "Many of Horror" showcase the band's signature whiplash riffs and introspective lyrics, while songs such as "Bubbles" and "Born on a Horse" highlight their experimental side. The album's closer, "Whorses," is a standout track that has become one of Biffy Clyro's most popular songs.
"Only Revolutions" received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its natural evolution and others noting its inconsistency. However, the album has been appreciated by fans for its energetic and diverse sound. Whether you're a longtime fan of Biffy Clyro or a newcomer to their music, "Only Revolutions" offers a compelling exploration of the band's creative range and musical prowess.
