4* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: All over the place, from the post-hardcore of their first three albums to the big, ambitious sound of ''Puzzle'', ''Only Revolutions'' and beyond.
5* BrokenBase:
6** Every album from ''Puzzle'' onwards has had a much poppier edge, and brought the band to a wider audience and attention in the mainstream, leading to cries of Sell Out! and [[ItsPopularNowItSucks it's popular, now it sucks]] (masquerading as TheyChangedItNowItSucks in most cases) from older fans who aren't happy with their new fans who only listen to their later material. This intensified after the release of their seventh album, ''Ellipsis'', which was hailed as a success by some but criticised as bland by others.
7** It happened again with the release of "Instant History" -- the first single from ''A Celebration of Endings'' -- which flirts with [[ElectronicDanceMusic EDM]]. As it turned out, the rest of the album sounds nothing like that, retaining their melodic alternative rock sound from the previous albums.
8* EpicRiff: "Saturday Superhouse", "The Captain", "Sounds Like Balloons", "Sunrise".
9* IAmNotShazam: Since Biffy Clyro sounds like a name, it would be easy to think that it's one person named that rather than a trio.
10* NightmareFuel: "Tradition Feed". It's worse in the context of the album, as it's a hidden track preceded by [[NothingIsScarier 18 minutes of silence]].
11* RefrainFromAssuming: That song that's been everywhere recently? It's called "Many of Horror", NOT "When We Collide" - no matter what [[Series/TheXFactor Matt Cardle]] says.
12* SignatureSong: "57", their most well known song among fans, and a concert staple, though it's since been supplanted by "Mountains". Other well known songs include "Black Chandelier", "Many of Horror", and "Living is a Problem Because Everything Dies".
13* SweetnessAversion:
14** "Re-Arrange" can come across as overly sentimental. It doesn't help that Simon Neil maintains soft, high-pitched vocals throughout the entire song.
15** "Space" is also this as well, due of being an electropop love ballad. [[BrokenBase Depending on who you ask]], its cheesiness can somehow border between SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel and NarmCharm.
16* TearJerker: "Machines", which describes Neil's feelings of hopelessness in the wake of his mother's death.
