Florence Welch and Co's second album....
i bought this on the strength of the debut "lungs" upon day of release...i should have waited!
its good, but nowhere near the same quality as their debut...and sales reflrected that also...the debut sold around 7million worldwide, this one only 2million(according to Wiki)
album is a bit more heavy on the bass and drums than the debut but the songs just arent as good...
i hear bits of Kate Bush on this one(vocally) in places and also bits of Fleetwood Mac with the sounds they got on "tusk"...
like i said....its okay but had i heard it first i probably would not have purchased it...
