I disagree on everything but the last sentence - her stillness and stoicness was really enigmatic and otherwordly, I thought. But to be fair I do have to admit that she shouldn't make a habit of it - she has to pack much more of a mainstream punch on Sunday's XF is she's going to do well out of it. But No Light, No Light is the perfect song to do that so I have faith that she will.

No Light, No Light as really grown on me didn't really think much of it at first but I really like it now hope it's a hit for her be nice to get one top ten single. I really though Shake it Out should have done better.

She is doing Shake it Out on X Factor. That's from her official twitter, Facebook and email!

I think she may have just over Noeals sales....150,000??? maybe around that mark...there was hype and unlike Lungs the fanbase is very much established more here too

Here is hoping!

150,000 that would be impressive hope your right although I'm going to guess somewhere aroun 120,000. Wonder what her sales in the states are?

Loved the style, the stage...it was simplistic but very artistic! And fantastic reception...it confirmed...she is the most exciting artist in Britain right now! i was having hairs stand on end...ELECTRIC! And i think she will have a two week run on top

There is an interesting dichotomy in this album.

There is the slow haunting still life ballads that haunt you in a brilliant sense and then there is the big uplifting mighty songs that you can hear both a symphony and rock band playing to a huge crowd.

I much prefer the latter half to the former but the haunting ballads are perfect downtime between songs. I remember someone saying this album has a Siouxsie and the banshees flavour to it and it does in a really good way! (Some macabre imagery but still interesting quirky concepts floating about)

It's slowly becoming high on my playlist; this album is something special and was worth the wait. TBH I wasn't expecting new Flo until next year at best so it was a shock when the dates were announced.

Also; her x factor performance was good. I liked the veils and dancers but she looked like a tired heroin addict with her eye make-up!
