Apr 13, 201290Florence + the Machine's performance deserves its spot in the upper echelon of MTV Unplugged shows.
-
Apr 13, 201280She steps up the challenge, revelling in the church-like acoustics and delivering a heart-stopping 'Cosmic Love'. 'Dog Days Are Over' is rendered as fresh and powerful as when you first heard it, rather than the supermarket shopping soundtrack it's now become.
-
Apr 13, 201270This chilled-out collection is an easy, pleasant listen, but it is far from an essential purchase for anyone except Florence completists.
-
Apr 13, 201270Her singing is stunning; this should be credited to Florence and the Vibrato.
-
Jul 18, 201260It is her once feral voice, now markedly more controlled, which proves most impressive here. [Jun 2012, p.88]
-
Apr 13, 201260An impressive show, but not one likely to persuade doubters.
-
Apr 13, 201259It displays the boundlessness of her vocal talent but finds her tethered to a frustratingly limited aesthetic.
-
Apr 13, 201250Midtempo tracks like "Only if for a Night," "No Light, No Light," and "What the Water Gave Me," the latter of which finds Welch in full control of the room by the song's second half, are soulful, spooky, and bold.
-
Apr 13, 201240By removing the strident, strange production values of Drumming Song or Cosmic Love, for example, their original appeal is bleached out, and those not enamoured with that Welch wail will find no refuge in this state.
