Particularly here in Scotland, like, do people hype them up purely 'cause they're Scottish? I think so.

They're a rubbish band who make rubbish music with a rubbish front man who sings in the most ridiculous American accent.

and, like it or not, influential. I get sort of sick of seeing rock bands live; there is always the token 'Biffy' band supporting.

Blackened Sky is okay; awful simple rock-pop with painfully teenage lyrics/singing. Puzzle was a mis-step, with moments. Frankly I can't see them going back to artistic credibility - which is a shame having seen all the interviews with them over the years. 14th Floor have pushed them in ways so opposite to what they are, that it's clear to see what they want from BC.

Some Snow Patrol derivative who have one commercially viable album.

QOTSA = Disagree
Foo Fighters = Not a real band anymore
Serj = LOL

Poor comparisons, I see where you're coming from but comparing an apparently just starting out British band with stadium rock 'has beens' is unhelpful.

"Well, fuck off, would you rather listen to Phil Collins?!" it's besides the point.

They really haven't.

Jo Whiley is such a menace. "Here's this new band, they've only released four albums already". God.

I used to looove Biffy, but the new album didn't grab me as much as I wanted it to.
