Singles 2001-2005

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

'Singles 2001-2005' is an album by the Scottish rock band Biffy Clyro. The album is a collection of singles from the band's time with former label Beggars Banquet.

[edit] Overview

In 2006, the band signed to 14th Floor Records while still under contract with Beggars Banquet. The band still had one album left on this contract, therefore this album is to fulfill contractual obligations. Beggars has been criticised for cashing in on the success of 2007's Puzzle. Many fans have expressed anger at the label for only releasing a 12 track collection of radio edited singles rather than a more expansive album of b-sides and rarities. The band and management are thought not to be pleased with the release and are not expected to promote it.

The album collects singles from Blackened Sky (2002), The Vertigo of Bliss (2003) and Infinity Land (2004).
