Only Revolutions, the fifth studio album from Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro, came out on 14th Floor Records on 9 November 2009, with Garth Richardson back in the producer's chair after Puzzle. Simon Neil sings and plays guitar, the Johnston twins, James on bass and Ben on drums, add their voices to the roar, and the Kilmarnock trio sound like a band that knows it's about to get very big.
It's alt-rock with prog-sized ambition and stadium-sized choruses, riffs twisting in odd directions before crashing into hooks you can't shake. "Mountains", "That Golden Rule" and "Many of Horror" all went Top Ten in the UK, and "Many of Horror" got a second life when Matt Cardle, who won The X Factor in 2010, took his version to the Christmas number one. The album climbed to number three, went double platinum and earned a Mercury Prize nomination. Opposites came next.
