Really starting to love this woman with each passing day (new fan here).

I loved her on X Factor; however, she over-used her vibrato and a few parts were shouty. I'm guessing she was nervous though, because I've seen many live performances and she's fantastic.

About the new record - looove it! Took to this one much quicker than 'Lungs' (which took me a few weeks to realise how great it was).

The only thing I'm bothered about now is where the hell do I start in catching up with the rest of her music?! I've just ordered 'Between Two Lungs', but I'm noticing there's a hell of a lot of stuff from that era! =S I feel like I've walked into a filing room that's been ransacked, lol.

There is the Lungs deluxe edition that was released alongside Lungs when it first came out but it only includes one or two songs that isn't already on the Between two lungs album.

Between two lungs is really the best bet your gonna have by having nearly everything from her Lungs era

I have rewatched FLos performance 5 times now...i love the vibe she ahs with it...just damn she has never performed to such a mutli-million audience like that solo before....she had Dizzee with her for the Brits....but this was off the scale!

I think more will be aware of her Flo_awesomeness!

Ceremonials is already certified gold in Australia, loved her X-factor performance was a little shouty at time but as Gold_Fish said it was likely nerves.

Addicted To Love and Swimming are a few my favourites. Addicted to love is a cover song.

Birdsong and it's intro, falling and hardest of hearts were only on the aussie deluxe edition of lungs and are amazing. I think between two lungs and those three tracks are her only official released stuff out there from that era; but there are loads more demos and covers in the vast internet.

This youtube channel should help you know the song names and what they sound like:

Do we think she'll overtake SuBo, who's ahead in the midweeks? I think Flo could actually do it, but it depends on the sales figures. SuBo has a lot of hardcore fans so I reckon her sales will be massively front-loaded. Anyone have the midweek album sales?

Hopefully Flo will!

Subo has her first week here however....so she may have a lead this week...and she had that TV Doc about her too....Flo had X Factor so sales for Ceremonials will be sustained definitely

Subo is number 1....knew it lol....I think Ceremonials sustained good sales this week... lets see a total!

I don't reckon Florence will have the sales she did with Lungs. But i am happy if she doesn't. I don't want her to be too comercially successful because i don't think she is the act to be that way.

I think we will see different sale peaks from her across this era and overall her career too.

Lungs was a massive commercial peak and had longevity....whereas Ceremonials she has her fanbase and has peaked with bigger sales than beforehand!

And so true i want her to remain Culty! And not sell out like COldplay etc...

I am finding the hype on that song is so overated. I grew tired of it within a few listens.

I have absolute chills from that.....it kinda looks like a gothic horror film in colours and direction..... distilled monochrome!!! I think this video looks like it will be another awesome one!

Agreed got a strange horror movie vibe from that, love all the imagery she as in her music videos everything seems arty but with going over the top and to surreal.

Yeah Flo has a simple absurdity about her...its not forced which is why it makes it all FEEL so vivid and surreal and real!
