Biffy Clyro – Mountains
Last year, Biffy achieved great success with their album “Puzzle.” The album spured out five hit singles and the album even hit number 2. Biffy finally got they success they deserved. “Mountains” is the first bit of new material for the band since their chart success. After, a few listens I still have rather mixed feelings about the song. The song sounds like a big departure for the band with the heavy use of the piano during the track which, is something they have never really used in a track before. It was a nice change to hear the “lighter” sound. But, the lyrics are a little to hokey for me. The hook for example while it does sound so massive is just “I am the mountain, I am the sea you can’t take that away from me.” Then the line “nothing last forever except for you and me” hits you and the song officially loses me. Biffy you get an A for effort but the results are sadly nothing more than average.
