CharlesDJun 12, 2007UK version: beautiful masterpiece. US version: missing the best track and screwed-up order seriously changes the flow and hinders my appreciation for the album. Who decided to change the track order?! If North American reviewers are less enthousiastic for this album, that is the reason why, IMO.

allenjJun 11, 2007Amazing album. I wonder which album Almost Cool and The Onion reviewers listened to. This album moves into new territory confidently.

stevet.Jun 28, 2007May well disappoint fans of their earlier albums due to its slower, mellower pace but its a real grower. Play it a dozen times from start to finish before judging it. Surprised noones mentioned it but the new vocalist sounds exactly like Jeff Buckley.

May 28, 2014A great and sensitive, moving album, with the chances of transporting us to a world of calm, if it wasn't for some annoying sounds in the background of some songs.

It’s not just the recurrent meditations on mortality that makes Ma Fleur even more heart-rendingly beautiful than 2002’s Everyday, it’s also how The Cinematic Orchestra’s new album actually feels.
-
While Ma Fleur is no better than The Cinematic Orchestra’s previous scores, it is equally gorgeous in how it responds to and ekes out intellectual quagmires of song.
-
With its frequent emotional crescendos, then quiet dying away, Ma Fleur is more than a match for its predecessors, and will undoubtedly cement The Cinematic Orchestra’s reputation as intellectually sustaining performers of beautiful, emotive music.
