ViviLittleM 3 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 http://www.billboard.com/articles/review/6576024/florence-the-machine-how-big-how-blue-how-beautiful-review?utm_source=twitterSince Florence Welch made her debut in 2009, she has created music that turns heads and widens eyes. There's no doubt she's a flamboyantly imaginative writer and a captivating vocalist and performer. Yet her first two albums, with their mixture of cabaret exercises and stadium-scale anthems, never quite conveyed a sense of lasting consequence. Her art-rock models, such as Kate Bush and Bjork, were clear, but Welch, 28, often seemed like she shared their love of grandiosity more than their nervy willingness to follow a concept to its end, even when it means making music that's not so pretty or easy to like. Welch had the sweep but not the swerve, and the result was songs that were ravishing but could feel oddly impersonal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebs 1,809 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 It's such a great album. I can't wait for you to listen to it. Honestly, it's even better than 80/100. Songs like Queen Of Peace are highlights of FATM's entire discography. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellspont 1,468 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I am still so confused if they want to be considered a band or solo artist but NME gave it an 80/100 too, Every song I have heard is a 9 or 10. This will be their best album yet! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klou 2,414 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 They also gave ARTPOP an 84/100, yet they feel the need to bash it constantly since they jumped on the bandwagon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creyk 17,819 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 But will she get a hit from it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesium 6,022 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 The only thing I've really liked from this album so far is the title track. The singles have been okay but I don't think I've listened to them more than once, they didn't leave a huge impression. Lungs is still her best album and Ceremonials was good but honestly I don't listen to a lot of tracks on it. I miss the rawer sound her music used to have. I'll stick check the album out though. Put your white tennis shoes on and follow me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
