I'm really disappointed :(
It's like Saturday Superhouse, only about half as good. Which is in no way a good thing.
I really hope it's not representative of their next album, but sadly it probably will be...

Oh sweet lord...
...the video for the song on their site.
Ouch.
I didn't mind Saturday Superhouse
this one left me a bit cold to start with but it's growing on me.
oh man
i've just got the video on - what the hell?!
The single
artwork is really cool though, the lions under water :)
I really liked Saturday Superhouse
as a one-off sort of thing, but this is just....average.
There's nothing
to grow? It's just flat out dumb pop rock.
Video's has definite 30 Seconds to Mars overtones too, which tells you all you need to know.
EXACTLY
what I thought about the video!
I laughed my ass off at that 30 seconds to mars video when I first saw it and remember thinking to myself:
"My, theres the most pretentious and ridiculous video I have ever seen".
...only to have one of my most cherished bands of the last several years trump it with Simon's new pimp hat.
oh the great joys
of seeing one of your favourite bands from their first band turn into utter shit.
it's ok
but that's about it.
Its an inbetweener song
before they record the new lp. Have hope. Part of Puzzles was great.
They still can bounce back.
Shocking video
...
I still hold out hope for album # 5
Oh man
Much like Puzzle, I'm really trying to like this, I never thought I could turn my back on Biffy.
I've tried listening to this a few times now, every time I just sit here with a sad face. I can't even feel like I can connect with the song at all.
I've even tried to get it into my head that's it's not Biffy and to try and listen to it as a new band that I've never heard of. That doesn't really make too much sense but hey, at least I know what I mean...kind of.
kept waiting for a chorus,
none came, yawn.
kinda funny how they've got more and more linear. like, their last record was the most straightforward they've sounded, and it was probs their best.
that's kinda dire though.
I hated Zane Lowe's
Response after he played it. The man is a giant dick. He only got into Biffy after enough people said they liked them and he could latch on.
To be fair
to him, he was definitely behind them as far back as the mini-success they had on Questions and Answers.
The Biffy Fighters
I've not heard much, but I've heard enough. Basically a British repackaging of The Foo Fighters - one of the worst bands ever.
i can LOL at this cant i?
don't ask permission, just do it.
Oh god
That video is silly beyond redemption :(
Saturday Superhouse
is an absolute tune.
Are we talkin about
Mountains??
Just listening to it now!!
Its gack!!
Those lyrics could be in a "creed" song!
To be fair
Blackened sky was great but they've slowly gotten worse and worse and worse
this is awful
much worse than the pop singles from Puzzle - and pointless to boot.
fucking hell
only just watched the vid, and the people saying it's like a budget 30 seconds to mars are bang on the money. Also, why are they presenting Simon as the only band member???
Does it sound like the Foo Fighters?
Does it? Does it?
Yes it does!
Woo!
That is without doubt the best video that I saw during the time that I watched that video.
Chess imagery? Why not huh?
