Every track on this album is great. It's definitely a great buy and I think Florence + The Machine will be around for a while. Go buy this album now!!

Pretty decent album. Her calling card Kiss With A Fist is enjoyable if you can get past the fact that it basically rips off The White Stripes' We Are Going To Be Friends. Vicious stomper Girl With One Eye is just embarrassing, with truly dire lyrics capped off with savage production. And Howl just sounds like filler. Anyway, that's the bad stuff out of the way. The rest of the album is brilliant. Cosmic Love has to be one of the most powerful tracks of the year, along with epic single Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up). Opener Dog Days Are Over manages to be sad and uplifting at the same time, with a briliant melody. Other highlights include the dark My Boy Builds Coffins, the propulsive Drumming Song and the Kate-Bush-esque Blinding. De… Expand

Florence shrieks , howls and yelps better than anyone in the game. Lungs is great ; its like cake. Totally amazing but if you eat cake every day it becomes less of a treat.

Florence knows how to be powerful and not get too Aretha, exagerating a beat. With strange lyrics, a lot of harps and cytaras, and a sweet and at the same time tough vocal, she gives us the indiest album I have ever listen. And her live performances are the best thing, with great presence and terrific voice. "Dog Days Are Over", "Between Two Lungs", "Bird Song" and "Cosmic Love" are one of this greatest on this great CD.… Expand

Amazing album. Blending a mix of nu folk and nordic pop, Florence delievers an amazing album. The plentiful use of harps and bangles helps create a luxurious melody that one can listen to repeatedly without it growing tired. Florence also dares to use multiple styles to further demonstrate the scale and creativity of her voice. Very impressive album.

A pretty decent album. It's stange in that it sags in the MIDDLE of the album, finishing and starting very strongly.The awful.

Lungs is an amazing album, all the way through. Dog Days Are Over is one of my favorite songs of all time, and Cosmic Love and Rabbit Heart (Raise it Up) are also standout tracks. There is not a song on the album that isn't good, and each one has something unique that pulls you in. Drumming song is instantly catchy and sticks in your head. Girl With One Eye took a while to get used to, but after multiple listens it is just as good as everything else on the CD. None of the songs get old, and i have played this CD more than anything I have ever owned. Definetely one of my favorite albums of all time.… Expand

This is a very heartfelt album. Florence Welch is brutally honest as she sings of violence and coffins and setting beds on fire. Her voice is so beautiful. The opener "Dog Days Are Over" is a fantastic track. Really opens up the album. Every track sounds great. I must also say the drumming in this album is fantastic. "Drumming Song" really shows it. All In All, Lungs is a powerful, heartfelt, honest album that's easily one of the best of 2010 as far as indie rock goes. A-… Expand

Florence + The Machine will be a great indie rock band and Lungs is the proof. Even the tracks are about violence, i like it because Lungs can canalize all that blood and guts without a Parental Advisory sticker.

If you love alternative music, this one is for you. A very decent album.

One of my favorite albums. I love this album. Really nice songs. Outstanding song writing. Love the dark lyrics. Outstanding voice. Florence and the Machine is the artist is watch out for. Her songs are so awesome. Looking forward for all florence music in the future

The album is great. The problem is that with some of this "fussed over" bands people grow huge expectations, and end up feeling disappointed, when in fact if they were listening to it for the first time they'd probably think it's great too. The sound and the lyrics are very good and original, not to mention her shrilling voice, which is bound to put her well above in the chart of best voices of pop music. It's the first time I at least have thought a harp sounds this good.… Expand

I can't begin to describe how brilliant this album is. It's completely original and different while remaining totally listenable. It's booming drums and plucking harps and jangling tambourines paired with Florence's pitch-perfect, dominant voice work together in perfect harmony. This album is a work of pure genius that catapults Florence up there with the likes of Lady GaGa. Perfection.

(TLDR: This album just needs a little more attention than most, but if you love it it will reward you.) This is a pretty solid album and if you haven't seen the videos, go do it now. (Esp. Drumming Song and Cosmic Love) Florence and the Machine takes a rarely seen approach to composition: in many of her songs, drums are the main interaction with the vocals. Yes, there are other instruments, but in most cases the basic skeleton doesn't require them. On top of which, Miss Welsh has a powerful voice, so it's really that the drums are the *only* instrument that could keep up with her. The album is also strong lyrically, especially with the delicate art of never overstating your point. If I absolutely had to nitpick this album I would say it had two downsides. The first is that the album is *high energy* the whole way through. There are some slow-ER songs, but nothing to give reprieve from the tiring pace. Unfortunately, this means that if you listen to albums as a whole composition (as you should with any album), you may completely overlook some of the middle of the album songs (Ex. Howl, Between Two Lungs) The second small issue is that sometimes it is difficult to make out the words. However! There is a very simple solution to both of these problems: make as many mixtapes as you possibly can. Put the songs in different contexts, include a lyric book for your chosen loved one (or victim) and leave them to cry their feelings out while driving down the highway, courtesy of one very attractive British redhead and you.… Expand

Cada faixa do álbum possui uma originalidade impressionante: as músicas não se copiam, apenas se completam. As letras são excelentes e a voz de Florence Welch consegue soar divina e pesada ao mesmo tempo. A harpa pode até ser um instrumento bem antigo mas, numa era de auto-tune e de supervalorização música comercial, se transforma na marca registrada de Florence e sua máquina de encantar. -Melhores músicas: Drumming Song / Dog Days Are Over / Blinding… Expand

A very solid album. It has a good blend of upbeat, and slower tempo melodies. Florence's voice really shines in some of the songs, and there are some songs that just make you feel out-of-this-world. There are a few moments where things could've been handled better, but most of the songs are so good that it doesn't even matter.

This was a breathe of fresh air (pardon the pun) when it came out. Still sounds great, although I do feel it has some weak moments and don't understand the 10 out of 10's it gets.

I only started listening to Florence And The Machine in March of this year, and I wish I had discovered them sooner! Florence has such a powerful voice and her music makes you feel emotion like you haven't felt with any other album before. Florence is one talented musician which no one can deny, with a very unique music style.

This is my favourite album. That just about sums it up. It's like a collage of genres expertly put together to create something greater than any one of them alone

Lungs is a work of art, very beautiful, a true musical reinvention. When I heard this masterpiece of Florence Welch and company, I was amazed at their sound fantastic and with the beautiful voice of the goddess redhead who takes the lead of the band. Each song is unique, you enter a world of fairy tale Gothic and Celtic florence only with his melancholy and euphoria could lead. It is a very remarkable album, Dog Days Are Over is something sublime, brand new, you will not find another song like this, believe me. It is a magical album, absolutely beautiful… Expand

Sensational. Flo's voice is absolutely mesmeric. I'm not sure I've heard anything quite like it. Cosmic Love easily my track of the year, but it's a tight run race with Rabbit Heart and Dog Days. See her live if you haven't already. I think (and hope) she's just getting started...
