Sep 13, 2015No boundries are pushed here. Welch sounds the same as she did on the over produced "Ceremonials" which is a shame because I find her voice to be annoying and redundant now. "Third Eye" is the best song on the whole album, but even that one song coulden't save this ship from sinking. The biggest disappointemnt of 2015 by far.

Jun 14, 2015Not nearly as solid and coherent as Ceremonials and the main songs are not at the level of Lungs singles, this is such a disappointment specially with songs like HBHBHB

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.
