I can't believed I was ever worried about this being a disappointment. The natural progress in her sound works beautifully here, she's literally the queen. I feel privileged that my generation has an artist like her.

Third Eye makes me want to just run full sprint into fields and sh!t and just lose all my inhibition.

Too early to tell if it's better than Ceremonials, but it doesn't dissapoint.
Third Eye and Delilah are my early favorites

Too early to figure out what I like and what I don't, but I can say I prefer the overall sound of Ceremonials.

Listened to it a couple of times and yeah, I prefer Ceremonials but this is still great. Loving Queen of Peace, Third Eye and Make Up Your Mind the most right now.

Is this a bit lighter? I loved how dark Ceremonials was.

I must be in the minority, but I didn't really like "Ceremonials." It sounded all very similar. I'm waiting until I get my copy of the collector's edition to listen all the way through. However, from the iTunes preview, I believe this will be my favorite of the band's 3 albums.

I rarely listen to Ceremonials from start to finish, because after a few songs it's too much. I don't dislike any tracks, some of them I looove, but I can't listen to them all at once. With this new album it's the opposite...It's like a journey. I adore every song except Caught which I still like. Perfect album. Florence's discography is just amazing, she never disappoints.

I like this way more than Ceremonials, which I thought was maybe too dark and heavy. This is a nice balance I think.

Ceremonials WAS very heavy. I mean, we had a song about the beauty of drowning and a song called Seven Devils for God's sake... That said, Never Let Me Go is far and away my favorite Florence song so I hope I get anything remotely close to that on this album.

I'm really liking the album, a very good follow-up to "Ceremonials".

Third Eye makes me want to just run full sprint into fields and sh!t and just lose all my inhibition. I have never heard someone say that a song entices them to run into a field and defecate. Not quite the emotion that is evoked in me while listening to the song, but I appreciate your intensity.

Pooping in a field could quite be liberating.

They killed it at Governors Ball today. Massive love for her from the crowd and she was definitely jumping more than she should have at this point but it was her first performance on her feet since the injury. Best part was when she had a fan crowdsurf to the front to give them a hug.
I haven't listened to the new album yet, but I liked the new tracks that I heard live.

BEST album I've heard this year! This woman's voice seeps into my soul to the point where I want to cry. I LOVED Ceremonials and I love this one just as much. My faves are "Queen Of Peace", "Various Storms & Saints", the title track, "Delilah" and "St. Jude". But I love the whole album. I'm so happy it's finally here.

I love how Florence just nails everything she sings. Is there anything even close to a dud on the deluxe edition? My life has improved immensely since hearing "Third Eye" and "Which Witch."

No surprise, I guess, but How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful debuts atop in the UK, becoming their third #1 in a row there. From the Official Charts:

She was one of the highlights of Governor's Ball thus far for sure. Incredible and I was so amazed to see her running around. Flawless.
