"I've been waiting for the US release of this album for a really long time now. Every time I drive up to Canada, I considered getting it, but as was the case with her previous release "I Bificus" both versions had diffrent songs, and the US version was a LOT better. This time, the two versions are exactly the same. Anyway, it's a pretty good release, despite the absence of any spoken word tracks (like on her self titled debut). I would recomend "I Bificus" over this album, mostly because it has much stronger lyrics, but this album has it's strong points, like "I Love Myself Today" "Tango Shoes" and "Stolen Sidewalk". Please support Biffy and BUY THIS ALBUM!!!"

Work by true pros

"I must say that few albums have impressed me lately as much as this one. The tunes are professional and well done, but most importantly this band slides effortlessly from one genre to another and does them all suberbly! From the refreshing pop of "Tango Shoes" to "I Love Myself Today", which literally roars out of the gate like a top fuel dragster, to the different and unique edginess of "October Song", the album changes pace seemlessly. One moment you're listening to the driving rock of "I Love Myself...." and the next moment your listening to the touching and beautifully done ballad "Stolen Sidewalk". There are many bands that do one genre very well, and even more bands that fail at mixing them. Bands this flexible and talented are both rare and a treat!"

Grand! Just Grand.

"Could Purge be just as satisfying as Bif's previous release, I Bificus? Indeed. Taken with the spunk and heart from I Bificus, Purge is a full on great listen. Choking On the Truth begins the cd with a similar sound as the tracks on I Bificus, but with Tango Shoes, things get a bit different. And there's nothing bad in that. The nifty beat to Tango Shoes is followed by Dawn which mellows out a bit but doesn't let you down. I Love Myself Today is a power anthem! Was for me. Great song. Things do get a little slow with Stolen Sidewalk. Bif's lyrics always shine but with Stolen Sidewalk, they're touching in an off way. But that's what makes her music so grand. The remaining tracks continue to be great listens. Most notable are ... well, all of them. Although Leader, You Are the Master, and Hold On tend to be more favorable for me. Bif has done an awesome follow up to I Bificus. Another album? Yes, please."
