There are a lot of reviews coming this week. Some of the publications that gave Florence her higher scores haven't weight in yet, but if the existing reviews are anything to judge by, those that really disliked Ceremonials will like this a little more, those that really loved Ceremonials will not like this one as much, and it will all even out to something in the mid 70's (I hope). Sad really that there is a portion of the critical public that will never really respect Florence.
I love Florence and all her music but this album has been very hard for me to get into apart from the singles.
I might need a bit more time with it but so far it really hasn't clicked with me at all.
