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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wildpath- Crystallized.

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

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.
