Biffy Clyro have scored the second UK number one album of their career with their seventh release Ellipsis. The album sold a combined total of 37,000 copies - after sales and streaming data were added together. The Scottish rock band last hit the top of the album chart with Opposites, released in 2013. Two of this year's Glastonbury headliners - Adele and Coldplay - remained in this week's top five, at numbers two and four respectively. Drake's album Views jumped into the top five to hit number three, while ELO's All Over The World held its position at number five.
Take a listen to the openers of Only Revolutions and Puzzle as examples. It was once normal for the entirety of a Biffy Clyro album to be slightly off-kilter, even as recently as 2009’s Only Revolutions. But much of Ellipsis is comfortable, if not predictable. Biffy Clyro summon serious rage and power on Wolves of Winter and Flammable, yet in the end they remain perfectly serviceable but not particularly memorable rock songs. James Johnston’s energetic bass lines often pull Biffy Clyro songs out of this dull territory, but here he stays buried in the mix.
Named after the three periods at the end of a sentence that indicate an omission or unfinished idea, Biffy Clyro's seventh studio album, 2016's delightfully compact Ellipsis, is a power blast of an album that finds the Scottish outfit knocking out a tidy set of crisp anthems. Produced by the band and Rich Costey (Muse, Foo Fighters, Rage Against the Machine), Ellipsis follows up the group's ambitious 2013 double album Opposites. However, it feels more connected to their breakthrough Mercury Prize-nominated 2009 effort, Only Revolutions.
