ALBUM Explicit

Biffy Clyro’s album Opposites (2013) is zijn zesde studioalbum en komt na het enorm succesvolle en voor een Mercury Prize-genomineerde Only Revolutions (2009). Of je het nu als dubbeldisc of als enkeldisc album (de band heeft het op beide manieren uitgebracht) waardeert, Opposites is een gevarieerd, ambitieus werkje waarop het Schotse rocktrio wederom de balans vindt tussen zijn prog neigingen en ontegenzeggelijke talent voor mainstream, radioklare pop. Het zit vol luide gitaren, hectisch drumwerk, en uitgebreide, veelgelaagde arrangementen. Het vaart wel bij het soort grootse, publieksvriendelijke popnummers die van Only Revolutions zo’n succes maakten. In Biffy Clyro’s nummers worden direct pakkende hooks uitgebalanceerd met complexe arrangementen die gelukkig alleen maar helpen om de drama van het pop moment te versterken. Er staan meer dan genoeg van deze tweezijdige maar extatische momenten op Opposites
