Re discovered Florence today whilst on a run as she come on shuffle. I was then reminded of how many great tracks they have.

What’s the best album released by Florence + the Machine in your opinion.

Lungs > HBHBHB (although an incredible run of songs at the start!!) >> Ceremonials >>> High as Hope

The two two could really be interchangeable. I love every single song on Lungs but HBHBHB probably flows better as an album and has even higher highs (if possible!!). Ceremonials is fantastic but just about misses the same highs and High as Hope is lovely but not really comparable!

Have to agree with the 2 posts above
Lungs is the best by far, almost every song is a classic with Cosmic Love being their best song ever
personally Ceremonials was a bit of a let down but still has some great tracks, with the best song being Shake It Out, only song that is a 10
How Blue was much better than Ceremonials and had many great tracks (Delilah, What kind of Man, Queen of peace, Ship to Wreck)
High as Hope is their weakest, I do like Hunger but that's about it and that's maybe an 8/10... it's similar to Ceremonials but lacks a song like Shake it Out

Cosmic Love is easily thrir best song ever, agreed wub.gif And then for me, HBHBHB the song and Only If For The Night.

The best on HAH has to be Grace though.

I’m gonna listen to all of these to decide on my favourite.

Their most recent album was definitely the weakest but there’s tracks on all 3 I love.

Cosmic Love might be my all time favourite by her though.

We really need a singles survivor tbh!

Ceremonials

Surprised to see Lungs winning right now, it has some highs but a bunch of skippers too.

Ceremonials > Lungs > HBHBHB > High As Hope

However not one of the album’s is bad, such a stellar discography. I prefer Ceremonials as a whole from start to finish, although Lungs has higher peaks for me personally.

Lungs and Ceremonials are equally on top for me but maybe Lungs edges it slightly..? I mean Rabbit Heart, Dog Days, Girl With One Eye, Liar, Drumming Song just to name a few are standouts! But then Shake It Out, Water, Spectrum, Breaking Down and Lover to Lover are all amazing. Hard decision.

Ceremonials has No Light No Light too of course, which I’d say is my favourite Florence song of all so far! wub.gif
