Editorial Reviews

Scottish rock trio Biffy Clyro (just Biffy to its fans) has bubbled through the underground quite comfortably for several years now, and whether or not Puzzle lifts the band up from under is irrelevant. It is a masterfully written, brilliantly executed hard-rock romp, and that’s more than enough reason to recommend it. "Living Is a Problem Because Everyone Dies" and "Saturday Superhouse" may sound familiar to anyone who’s slogged around the pits at a Vans Warped show or tuned into FM radio at all in the last five years, but there’s something that buoys these tracks beyond the familiar, rendering them fresh and exciting, filled with zeal and melodic traits that transcend the pure energy contained in each. Among the other outstanding standouts here are "A Whole Child Ago," "Love Has a Diameter," and "Fold Stars," but all tracks shine with scintillating beauty. An interesting-–and no doubt enduring-–record. --Jedd Beaudoin

Album Description
Limited edition deluxe two disc (CD + PAL/Region 0 DVD) pressing of the 2007 album from this oddly-named British band features one bonus track ('Drop It') plus a bonus DVD that features a documentary (The Making Of Puzzle) plus three music videos: 'Semi-Mental', 'Saturday Superhouse' and 'Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies'. Puzzle sees them making the bold and ambitious record that will both satisfy their huge and devoted fanbase and win the hearts of countless others, cementing their reputation as the best and most important Rock band in the UK. The album includes the singles 'Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies' and 'Saturday Superhouse', which found the band breaking into the Top 15 for the first time, and received high critical acclaim with the NME. Mixed in New York by Andy Wallace (Nirvana, At The Drive-In) and with artwork by Storm Thorgerson (Pink Floyd, Led Zepellin), Puzzle marks Biffy's transformation into a truly world-beating band. From the soaring 'Semi-Mental' to the bludgeoning punch of 'Saturday Superhouse' through the swollen intensity of the slow-burning 'As Dust Dances' and to the glorious foot-stomping live favorite 'Who's Got A Match?', Puzzle packs an emotional punch with 24-carat choruses shot through with Biffy's trademark sideways approach to songwriting. It also sees them anchor some of their most outlandish ideas (check the staggering '9/15ths') with the sort of clear and crisp melodies that this three-headed powerhouse have been hinting at since the days of 'Justboy' and '27'.
