Let’s get these words outta the way: prolific, hard working, greatest touring band of the last decade, dance beats, time changes… WAIT! Dance beats? Where’d these come from? Me either. But my word, like absinthe and champagne cocktails, it works. Biffy are in a chart-attacking, party mood. Stop. Get into the groove. Dance muthas...
Biffy really do 'do pop' this time around. And they bludgeon it with slabs of art-joy. ’Glitter and Trauma’ is the opening slice off of their forthcoming (and frankly, fantastic once again) third album ’Infinity Land’. Guitars flutter over tribal tubthumping. Simon's lyrics glide in that tried and tested psyche psychedelic Biffy way. S'all rushes of imagery and reality inflections: “You, you are, you are the human strobe”. We’re lost in music.
The b-sides are noizy and once again full of ideas which we’ll only truly understand and appreciate in a decade's time. But the single's great and Biffy are now a true force to be reckoned with. Without pop subversion, without polluting the mainstream, none of us would be here today. A generation of Busted fans need guidance. The revolution will not be homogenized.
Now, get that contented, knowing smile back on your face and ‘mon the Biffy!

I accidentally bought the DVD version which was slightly annoying as there's no audio version on that.
By the way, the video is as ace as the song

Apparently One Up in Aberdeen sold more copies of a Blackened Sky than any other store in the UK.
Wierd
One Up is the largest Indie store in Scotland.

hate to seem negative
but seriously
HOW fucking bad is biffy's artwork?
i mean, i like the style of the illustrations, but the content? sub spinal tap smell the glove-isms? i woman pleasuring herslef sitting in a rock? it doesnt even strike me as working ironically.
and the type on the 7" is near illegible.

Re: Biffy Clyro - Glitter and Trauma
Come on , Biffy have always had dodgy artwork !
Just look at the cover for Vertigo of Bliss - a woman with her hand up her modesty !
But your right about the text, it really hard to read !
Anyway...who cares, the single kicks ass so bring on the tour !!!

The worst was the 'Eradicate The Doubt' art.
