Ooooh, The Pretty Reckless is pretty awesome. I have been enjoying that album pretty well.

Electric Six - Afterlife

For anyone interested, the new Florence + the Machine album is out. I've picked it up, will give it a listen tomorrow morning most likely.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #102 on:** June 05, 2015, 07:16:52 AM »

First impression of the Florence album is that it seems to be somewhere in between Lungs and Ceremonials in terms of pace, drawing a bit from both. I'm enjoying it so far, although I have only listened to it while a bit distracted.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #103 on:** June 05, 2015, 11:00:27 AM »

In terms of pacing, that statements is pretty much correct. But How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful is very unlike both Lungs and Ceremonials. The one thing all three have in common is being very pretty and well-written. I love the brass strewn around HBx3.

Speaking of which:

Florence + the Machine - St. Jude

Florence + the Machine - Queen of Peace

I'm about 100% sure Florence Welch is one of the most accomplished artists to have appeared in the last decade. This album is even more cohesive and thought out than Ceremonials is. This is a hell of a feat.

Nightwish - Alpenglow

very retro nightwish

Florence + the Machine - How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful

A cool thing about this album is how it has a bunch of subtle, yet very noticeable bluesy influences all over the place. When it inevitably goes cathartic (one of the band's fundamentals, after all), it almost feels like Florence invokes an army of New Orleans musicians and parades around the streets with them.

Florence + the Machine - What Kind Of Man

I feel this song gets a lot bigger and stronger in the album's context.

Florence + the Machine - What Kind of Man.

Yeah in the exact way I was hoping as well. I was talking about it with my Dad and he didn't seem to be able to pick a stand out song. I said that I think it is because she wrote an album instead a bunch of songs.

I think Which Witch from the special edition might be the strongest song in isolation, because the b-sides aren't written as a cohesive part of a whole.

That said, this song rips my heart out and melts it in front of me.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #109 on:** June 09, 2015, 05:23:29 PM »

I actually think there are a -few- stand-out songs in the album (Queen of Peace, Delilah and How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful are simply breathtaking), but it all really boils down to the album's unity. This is a work in which I simply don't put songs on repeat because all of the pieces walk hand-in-hand. They converse, they flow into each other, and that's downright the biggest artistic accomplishment there. I've seen reviews complaining that the songs, at some point, start melding into each other, but that's the very point. And even then, every offering still has its own unique touch, much in the same way the songs in Ceremonials did.

Florence and the Machine - Delilah

Grefter · « **Reply #114 on:** June 12, 2015, 11:11:55 PM »

Join us Cid, jooooooiiiiiin.

Florence + the Machine - Which Witch.

A Florence track that evokes imagery one heresy and drums that I love. What a novel new thing that is.

Sierra · « **Reply #115 on:** June 12, 2015, 11:22:39 PM »

Nah man that would require me to listen to new music.

Queen: Delilah

That'll have to be close enough. Ode to Freddy Mercury's cat.

Dhyerwolf · « **Reply #116 on:** June 14, 2015, 07:03:44 AM »

Wildpath- Crystallized.

A banjo+current Nightwish feeling background+a random Grandia-esque interlude+3:30-4:00 (which just completely baffle me).

The Pretty Reckless- Why'd you bring a shotgun to the party

This band came up on my Pandora feed. I really am digging them, especially the lead singer.

Florence + the Machine - Mother.

Ceremonials?

I put my feet into the fountain
The statues' all asleep
No use wishing on the water
It grants you no relief

Mic drop on your last album like a boss.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #120 on:** June 23, 2015, 10:44:31 AM »

Both Mother and Third Eye mic drop on Ceremonials pretty hardcore, it's great.

Cocteau Twins - Otterley.

Protomen: Because the Night

Protomen made another cover album, which is not Act 3 but is still better than nothing. They tried to smash together Bruce & Patti versions here, which is the sort of thing you can do when you have multiple singers.

The Magnetic Fields - Strange Powers

"Under more stars than there are prostitutes in Thailand" is an absolutely amazing verse to pen into a love song.

Grefter · « **Reply #123 on:** July 03, 2015, 08:54:52 AM »

Deathstars - Mark of the Gun.

This song is Ciatos level melodrama.

Cocteau Twins - Sultitan Itan
