Biffy Clyro – Only Revolutions

Biffy Clyro – Only Revolutions (2009) is a dynamic, emotionally charged alt-rock album that solidified the band's mainstream breakthrough. Balancing anthemic choruses with intricate musicianship, the album delivers soaring melodies (Many of Horror), explosive riffs (That Golden Rule), and stadium-ready hooks (Mountains). Simon Neil’s impassioned vocals and cryptic lyrics add depth, while orchestral flourishes enhance the album’s grand scale. With a mix of aggression, vulnerability, and polished production, Only Revolutions captures Biffy Clyro at their most accessible yet still retains their signature unpredictability. A bold, high-energy record that bridges the gap between complexity and mainstream appeal.
