Lindsey was our guest this week, with her favourite album, Florence and the Machine – Lungs (2009)
Lindsey presented the album as important in the musical field due to its sucess, the power of Florences voice and the feeling within the songs. She mentioned that in some cases it almost felt like a fairy tale story or a magical event due to the different instruments and the ways in which they have been used to compliment the vocals.
Overall I felt the album was a good attempt and does highlight a move from the sterotypical pop of the period which is important. It also showcases some amazing harp work however it fell short of greatness due to the over reliance on Florence’s voice. I felt that the song had been written and sung with the music then added later just as support, not written as a whole in together-ness.
So the albums final rating was:
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED – Seal Approved.
