Please tell me I'm not the only one utterly infatuated with Long and Lost? It's haunting, ethereal, gorgeous, and so captivating. My favorite from the album for sure.

How does everyone think of the album after two months? I'm still taking a long time to get a grasp on having it on replay or to truly enjoy. It's taking a lot out of me to play it. 'St. Jude' is still my favorite from the album.

Third Eye is still one of the greatest tracks of 2015.

St Jude is definitely my favorite song on the album but it's still a VERY good album.

The album has grown on me substantially. Obviously it is different than their past works. The lyrics are more subtle, but also more complex when you read into them. The music has lost its etherel feel, but it is also more precise and direct.
Overall, I think this record showcases their skill and is their best from a technical standpoint. It is definitely less catchy, though. One thing I appreciate is that this is truly a concept album. Their first two albums held their form throughout the majority of the tracks, but there were always a couple songs that sent their concept off the rails. With this album, I feel like every song both adds to the album and fits within it's theme.

Florence and the Machine is set to Headline Hyde Park is 2016It's really incredible how even with their declining album sales, the band has been able to establish themselves as one of the biggest and best live acts playing right now. Really thrilled how much recognition they've received for their performances, you can really see how the years of non-stop gigs have polished them into what they are today.

Where is the third US single?!! The last album had so many singles, and it's been months since "Ship To Wreck" peaked here.

Besides the odd performance here and there, they've done basically no promo since the album release. A real shame since the album obviously needs singles/attention to sell well, and her current numbers are low compared to her previous albums. Their main focus seems to be establishing themselves as a live act though (which they are smashing) rather than selling albums/singles.

It is pretty odd they're not pushing this much. The album is pretty commercial & can smash if they managed this accurately.

Why haven't they released "Third Eye" yet?! That song is a hit waiting to happen.

Sad I'm gonna miss this again, but nonetheless I can say I finally got to experience seeing her for the first time last year. I need her + Paul Epworth to make some new material. I just love his work.

Yeah I considered going to the New York show, but really it won't top seeing her at Gov Ball last year for the first time. I'd rather just put that aside and hope to catch a promo concert when they have more new material.

This album campaign has been so strange, I wonder what's going on behind the scenes. The last 2 album campaigns were so extensive, but besides touring they've barely promoted since the release. The fact that they've still sold over a million worldwide is quite impressive given the circumstances.

Tickets acquired for Firefly in June. The woods are such an appropriate place for someone like Florence to perform. I can't wait.

The Odyssey was pushed back to today because of Prince's loss and you could watch it on their website here. Also, she and Vincent Haycock made a Facebook Q&A and you could watch it below or here.
