Florence + The Machine
« on: September 15, 2011, 10:27:41 AM »
I loved her album Lungs, and she's got a new one coming out later this year called Ceremonials.

Also, new track! https://sputnikmusic.com/news.php?newsid=19318

I know there's other fans. SHOW YOURSELVES!

Have only heard two or three songs, but I really liked them. Really need to check the music out properly.

Ariich is a freak, or somehow has more hours in the day than everyone else.

MASSIVE fan. Can't wait for the new album, I hope the rest of it is as dark as What The Water Gave Me.

Well I'd only got as far as the second track when I posted that. :P

Kiss With a Fist is so out of place on that album, she should have replaced it with one of the B sides.

Last.fm has been recommending her to me lately.

I need to get Lungs. I've only heard a couple of her songs and I really like them.

So apparently the new album is out there in certain places. I can't wait to hear it when I get home from class.

Eh, I'll wait til it comes out at this point. Will probably give it a safety listen on grooveshark or the like the day before I buy it, but based on the first single, I can't see them creating something I'm gonna hate.

Has anyone else heard this? I still haven't been able to give it my full attention, but Shake It Out is a great song.

Yeah man it's a really good album. It's quite long with the bonus tracks included though.

Most of the way through my first listen. This is definitely a good album, but it feels like it's missing some element that made Lungs so fantastic. My first impression is that the songs feel much more calculated, and don't really have the same urgency and energy that much of Lungs did, like the songs were just bursting out of her.

The retro pop twist is very interesting too. Some of this stuff almost has an echo of New Order to it.

This album was much better on second listen. She has dialled down the rock edge a lot, but made up for it as best as possible with a full, rich sound and some nice added poppiness. All the tracks are very good except for Breaking Down and Lover to Lover, which aren't so good, and Leave My Body, which is a bit of a flat closer.

And funnily enough, I think the B-sides, maybe all three, are better than anything on the album. I'll probably end up taking the three tracks on the album I don't like so much and replacing them with those.

I've listened to it twice all the way through so far. This album is excellent. I'll have to listen to it back-to-back with Lungs.

I've only listened ~3 times, but I think I still like Lungs better :(

I'll need to listen way more though.

Yeah, Lungs was a lot better, but I definitely wouldn't call this a serious slump.

My wife loved one song by her...then we saw a live show of her on TV.  It was PAINFUL to watch.  She was awful.
Oh shit, you're right!

She's a bit shakier than her studio voice, but most singers are. I imagine she'd still be very impressive to see live.

Also, the acoustic version of Breaking Down just brought me around to loving that song.
