Deconstructive, deliberate and exquisitely designed, The Myth Of The Happily Ever After is the sound of a world-class band making truly world-class music. The only thing more exciting than every bar of its 11 songs is the promise of where Biffy Clyro might go next

The moment you hit play, you’re off down their rabbit hole once more, and while it may still dodge that screeching mania of their earlier material, ‘The Myth Of The Happily Ever After’ stands up stronger than some of their later albums

It’s an exercise in catharsis, providing an accurate snapshot into the minds and mentality of the band certainly, but also the general public of the last year and a half

What started out as leftovers from the Scottish rockers’ last record has turned out to be, ironically, perhaps their most cohesive album to date
