Jun 14, 2015Much better than Ceremonials and Lungs!
simply Loved...................
Best songs '' Ship To Wreck '' '' What Kind of a Man '' '' How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful '' and Which Witch -
Jul 18, 2015A stunning, beautifully crafted album which ties together so many themes - life, love, self-destruction, longing, creation, connection to something bigger, transcendence, nature, duality. Her voice has never been more powerful and more free.
Be sure not to miss out on the glorious deluxe tracks.
You need to hear this record. -
Jun 16, 2015Oh dear, where to begin? I love her ability to give goosebumps and shed my tears in her sadder songs on this track (absolutely spectacular) and the ability to suddenly make me get up and dance to "What Kind of Man" or "Delilah". And my favorite is either "Delilah" or "Queen of Peace", I can't decide. I love the bonus tracks too! Weakest one..."As Far As I Could Get"

Jan 30, 2016How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful tem músicas fortes que te levam ao extremo com What Kind of Man, Queen of Peace, Delilah e Ship To Wreck e serenas que acalmam a alma como Long & Lost, St Jude.

Jun 8, 2015Florence has hit the jackpot with this beautiful cd of lost love songs.Immerse in it...so perfect and vocally crisp.A must-buy.Warm and cohesive listen.
-
Jun 10, 2015"How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful" without a doubt is the second best Florence disc after Ceremonials. Without losing its essence, Florence bet more on alternative rock and nailed it. One of the best works of the year so far, Florence + The Machine deserves all the recognition in the world.

Jun 2, 2015Another good album from Florence + the Machine. Her vocals sound great as ever and these songs will be amazing live. Definitely worth a listen and a few replays..
-
Jun 4, 2015A stunning album with songs that initially sound "smaller" than those on Ceremonials, but in fact warm to one's heart and puts it back together after ripping it apart. Absolutely mind-blowing. Lovely.
Highlights - "Caught", "Queen of Peace" -

Jun 5, 2015Florence + The Machine sleep and wake up with all the amazing things how they ever do, it is a little of rock-dance, so special, lovely, big, blue and beautiful.
One more time they show us that we can wait a long time for a new record ! -
Jun 7, 2015Less eclectic than "Lungs," less bombastic than "Ceremonials," Florence + The Machine's latest album is more focused on introspection than those previous efforts, which sound more like escape attempts. "How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful" shines with some of Florence's best, most unflinching lyrics, though the shift in style might leave some fans pining for a bit more of the old bombast.

Jun 2, 2015This album is really good. "Florence + The Machine" "How Big How Blue How Beautiful" is the band best album. A very great pop album with outstanding vocals and lyrics from Florence Welch.

Jun 3, 2015Developed, intruiging stilistically, excellent vocals and a tremendous display of variety. I'm aware that a solid 10 is a ridiculous score, but despite my thorough disliking of some of the songs (mother, caught, delilah), this album might be her finest creation yet (hard to say as they are all pretty good)
best songs: long and lost, various storms and saints, queen of peace, what kind of man -

Oct 8, 2015Third LP How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful dispenses with that ethos [positivity on the aftermath of heartbreak], embracing the raging/wallowing period that's delivered through biblical and Greek mythological references.
-
Jul 9, 2015Some of the album's most memorable moments come when the power is dialed down, as with the moving "Long & Lost." But there's no denying how captivating this group can be when the arrangement allows them to fly free.
-
Jun 15, 2015The greater the risk, the greater the reward. And I can think of no better reward than this album.
