    I see where you are coming from and I understand. It's their first major label album, and they are getting real exposure, and i'm still not sure how I feel about that. But I have to say, I like Puzzle a lot more than Infinity Land, though the latter does have some quality tracks.

    I'm a very loyal music fan. If I grow to love a band, it will take a lot to put me off them. If this was the first Biffy album I heard, I would not like them as much as I do now, but being as i'm already hooked...I like it. :)

    I haven't given it enough of a chance I don't think. I'm sure i'll sit down and listen to it one day and be like...WOW...how have I been looking this over for so long (like PJ and Binaural).

    I absolutely ADORE Glitter And Trauma though.

    the intro should be so much longer though, when those drums kick in- AWESOME!

    Infinity Land is a very awkward record iMHO.

    It has some amazing moments.....Kids FRom Kibble and Jaggy Snake are two of the best things Biffy have ever done. But at times it really doesn't work and loses its way really badly.....songs like Got Wrong, The Atrocity and the awfulness that is Wave Upon Wave should have been left off the record.

    The new album has grown on me already but like Duggro said, its very reminiscent of The Colour & Shape in its style.
    A democracy on paper, apparently well ordered, regularly subverted by irrational chaos.

    Wow - this thread has been dormant way too long....

    Thoughts on the new album?? 
    After quite a few listens, I love it!!! 
    There were a few songs that didn't grab me at first but they've definitely won me over
