Critics are saying it is more laid/ stripped back, more personal, but safe. It has been getting like 6/10s

 

Seems a bit too artsy for me, but I'll still get it

^agree 100%

Liked Patricia the most on first listen and I love the end of ‘No Choir’!

 

It is a lot more subdued then I was maybe hoping for but I feel it will grow with further listens. Part of me is hoping that she comes back within under 2 years with a complete contrast of this album aka an album full of Queen of Peaces :kink:

There are lots of subtle touches on this album - it will grow!

HER WORST EVER SONG NO THANKS

 

Suddenly I’m overcome... you’re driving me away

Enjoyed the album as a whole. There wasn’t an instant stand out to me like with her other albums If I were to pick a favourite I’d probably say The End Of Love but as a whole I didn’t dislike any tracks. Having just ten tracks as well I felt there was no weak tracks or filler on there and I actually wanted more when the album ended.

 

Listening again at some point through the week as well but good first impressions.

I've had a listen and not fussed. I just don't think Florence is for me. I don't dislike her - there are a number of tracks I enjoy - but that's as far as it goes. I'd love her to work with Calvin Harris again, I think the power in her vocal came across best in her collabs with him.

Get out!

 

This is clearly her worst album but her others are fantastic and real music and not cheesy Calvin fakery

I’m sorry for having a differing opinion ;)

I just said it’s not for me. Which is odd because I love alternative music.

 

When will your Drake faves?

Because I’m a huge Drake fan apparently? :lol:

 

I just find her voice hard to take on a collection, much prefer standalone songs.

Edited July 1, 20187 yr by Midge

her music and especially her voice is not for everybody

really wish this album was more bold, I miss some tracks in the vein of Cosmic love

or even weird tracks like Kiss with a fist

The album is pleasant enough after a few listens but Hunger definitely stands out the most along with Sky Full Of Song, Grace and Patricia. 100 Years was also good on first listen.

 

I think this is what is part of Florence's appeal - the way she changes sound even slightly each album. Shame this will most likely miss out on number one because of Drake :drama:

I wonder if she’s been inspired by Tori Amos on this? There’s a few tracks that I think are like her, Big God especially.

I actually think she sounds a bit like Lana del Rey in places, getting Blue Jeans vibes sometimes

I feel like the album gives me Kate Bush teas

It's an album of sweet songs but it's not really what I wanted from her or come to her music for. Good on her for experimenting though.
