My reaction would be "Of course they changed" What band didn't/Hasn't/wont change its all about the evolution of their music, its to attract a different audience Music is all about change and to those who say the new material isn't their thing and they don't like it is not a problem, my problem is people saying that the fact that they changed and started playing different music is a problem, because lets face it if listened to the same type of music from that band and it never changed we could stick it for a while but in time we would hate them, and thats why I say change can bring Nothing but good.

Question 8 (Essay)

By going to America to record their latest album, the band has ''lost sight'' of where they came from. How do you react to this statement?

I don't think this is in anyway true their decision to record in america seems to me like it came about for two reasons, One: To connect with Americans and America to which Biffy have not yet become big in yet . The fact that during their stay in America they missed home so much they rang complained about not having their favorite drink "Iron Bru" and got a lot of it sent out as well as the fact they had bag pipes in their Music, I think where ever they go they will bring home with them.
