baptism 2,670 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Oh my goodness, this is possibly tied with Ceremonials for my favorite Florence album. It is so stunning and deep and well written and emotive. I have chills and tears and all of that ****. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon 10,904 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I love it it's very dreamy and yet so dramatic The thing I love the most about this album is the lyrics, such solid poetry and Flo's voice giving it deeper meaning ugh her mind ... and now i just sit in silence.

baptism 2,670 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 June, No Choir, Grace, South London Forever, Big God, Hunger, Sky Full of Song, and Patricia are all beautiful. I think my two favorites are No Choir and Grace. My heart is so full. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind that it's short, I think it's just very precise and clear with what it wants to do with each song. As I've said before, it's different from the usual Florence record while at the same time being true to herself. It's Flo, but it's not... it's hard to explain, but in general it's less chaotic than their previous albums (I mean chaotic in a good way), more quiet, more simplistic and minimalistic, which is not a bad thing, but if you're waiting for another Cosmic Love, What Kind Of Man or Spectrum, this album is not for you. Some songs are built around one simple riff with minimal instrumentation. Lyrically, I think this is one of their best works, they sound like poetry. It might not be as easily accessible than their other albums, but that makes me want to listen to the album all over again to understand the songs better. Top songs after 1st listen: Hunger & The End Of Love Too soon for including HaH in an overall rank of all their albums. I have to listen to it a few more times to do that. Hey! Since I decided not to listen to the album until like mid of july for personal reasons, I was wondering if you can just give me some infos cuz I'm already dying to hear it and it still isn't out yet in my country So, are there more songs like Hunger? Like, more musically complex songs (unlike 100 years, for example). I already imagined there wouldn't be such songs as CL, WKOM etc but I was wondering if all the songs were minimalistic as 100 years. I mean, I abosolutely LOVE 100 years but I also love typical "old" Florence, ala Dog Days Are Over or the more recent Hunger. Thanks!

Probably the best song alongside Hunger I think I read or watched somewhere that she initially wanted to name this album "The End of Love" but decided to go for a more positive approach and titled it "High As Hope".

To me, there aren't many songs with that are as upbeat and melodic as Hunger. The album version of 100 years is more upbeat and less minimalistic than the live version. Typically "old" Florence songs imo are: Hunger, 100 Years, Patricia actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 This album floored me, I'm slain, deceased, wigless, etc 10/10, a masterpiece. Not a single moment I didn't like on this record. 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read that Patricia is the Delilah of the album, what do you think? If it's only half as good as Delilah I'll have to glue my wig pretty damn well Colourful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPheygirl 879 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I still haven't heard it cos im in Ireland but i think im really going to like this but no where near Lungs and Ceremonials Those are intouchable Looks like ill have to wait another 10 years to see if i can get a CL/Blinding/NLNL/OIFAN/WKOM/STW 2.0 Like i stan Florence for the big anthems,i already got my fill of quiet songs from Lana But SFOS was amazing too. If 100 years and Patricia really are QOP and Delilah 2.0 i will cry with happiness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
