Florence + The Machine

Everyone's gonna get mad and idgaf.

Jack Antonoff is, as usual, trying to do way too much and it just sounds all muffled and substandard. Less is more, and it's a concept he doesn't understand.

He might be able to play 112 different instruments but that doesn't mean you try to put 72 of them into one song as some sort of personal challenge. The obligatory random sound is in there, too (a helicopter @ 2:40). His production is almost tiring to listen to because there is just so much going on at once and you cannot clearly identify any one component (except a violin which seems to be his current obsession)

He's annoying and BAD and needs to leave Florence, Lana, and other talented women ALOEN.

 

even though i'm loving the new stuff you're absolutely right and someone had to say it

Yes! This reminds me of the music I listened to when I was a teen and fills me with nostalgia. iPhone 5 in hand, little boy what are you so nervous about at 14?

- calls DGE the 'Mother' of this album and loves it, but thinks that others will disagree

- Morning Elvis is the closest to Ceremonials, but has the melody of Grace (a serve )

- Back In Town is a "too much of a sluggish skeletal ballad to arrive so early" but doesn't make the album in-cohesive (pretty sure thats already been said but hey)

- Daffodil is the Euphoria song and its thankful its on the album

Thanks! 

 

I thought after over a year of lurking on this hellscape, I'd finally create an account and bless everyone with my presence

especially since, unlike other english cigarettes, rage and bitterness doesn't flow through my veins 

 

I saw Florence at the Newcastle last Friday and I can't wait for Girls Against God in studio quality to destroy me 

 

Spoiler

 

Anyway, just to annoy everyone:

 

High As Hope = HBHBHB > Lungs > Ceremonials 

 

What The Water Gave Me is Florence's best song though, and I won't be taking any questions, thank you 

 

 

[bluefiona 8,050]

Is covered in blood and Tentalus in the album? I haven't been into the new songs at all. Maybe I have to hear a few times when I buy the album.

Tantalus is a HBHBHB outtake so it almost certainly isn't on Dance Fever

 

Covered in Blood was created in the same session for Moderation so it has a higher chance, but since it leaked I highly doubt it was considered

i'd move high as hope down one place but otherwise  (but like hbhbhb > hah > lungs etc etc)

I had chills seeing the MV to king. She's phenomenal.

When they all skip in a single line during the bridge.

This interview made me feel a little sad for her. I hope she gets to have children if that's what she wants
