Dr Linus post as much as you can i like you

and Spectrum on now....WOW when she belts "saaaay my naaame!!" it really made me shudder....love it!!

i love Lungs deeply guys....my album of 2009! but Ceremonials is such a progression in sound and style its unreal....very much she has equalled and surpassed it i think So many insant sonvs on Ceremonials....like proper you can feel the tribal, spiritual vibes in it already! Its like Warped Disco Music

ugh i lvoe this album!!! This woman!!! she brings the old skool into music

Although it's not as commercial so probably won't do nearly as well, I have to say that I feel this is infinitely better than Lungs in every other sense. So pleasantly surprised

I mean, listen to some of the lyrics in Seven Devils and WTWGM... and some of the chord changes in Lover to Lover and All This And Heaven Too... in terms of imagination and ambition this blows Lungs out the water!

And so the end of Ceremonials!

WOAH!!! i feel kinda like "refreshed" like Ceremonaisl is a perfect blend of everything you know?

What a powerful recording! Will play Disc 2 later on! But damn a definitive 10/10 for first play and will do a review on Amazon this week soon more detailed and into it (prepare yourselves lol)

But yes absolutely smashed it!!

If she pulls it out of the bag on TXF though then I think No Light No Light will actually do very well. Shake It Out did better than I thought it would. I don't think she's "uncommercial" but just less so than others. Also, hate to use a cliche but she's definitely an "album artist". A lot of people were enticed into Lungs and weren't disappointed... I think a lot of casual buyers will stick with her and really get pulled in with this one (just like me!)

I hope she develops like the best in the industry! and really space ehrself out album by album and just be consistent....For example (not comparing her) Coldplay are still successful over a decade on would love Florence in 7 years time to keep packing punches....and i think she definitely will

And No Light No Light performance on TXF would be astounding! I think she will have number 1 album for certain this week...Pro green will be behind too...his live lounge today was very good actually and he has performed and has had a number 1 too so all good for him!

But Ceremnials i think with the fans she has already will have a great week for launch this week and sustain it this winter defintiely

There's a lot of Twitter talk about Ceremonials, unanimously positive, so I'm pretty sure it's going to have a really strong first week - not going to hold out for #1 just yet as Coldplay and Professor Green are big threats but I think she's probably going to do it. Maybe even the week after if TXF goes down well.

It really annoys me/amuses me that she's on with JLS. What a massive leap in talent she's going to be from them.

Yes you should lol,

Both Lungs and Ceremonials are in the US Itunes top 30 hope Ceremonials gets at least top 10 on Billboard she deserves some success in America.

Prof green isn't so much of an album seller so he is perhaps the least of her worries. His last album barely made it to platinum.

WOAH she deserves top 10 album Stateside that is very impressive!!!

and Pr green i think wont be a "threat" based on the hype alone for the Ceremonials album and FLos fanbase! Will be so EPIC!

CONFIRMED: Ceremonials has now entered my Top 5 albums of the year.

AS IT STANDS:
1. The Naked & Famous.
2. The Friendly Fires.
3. Florence & The Machine.
4. Radiohead.
5. Born This Way/Femme Fatale.

Alright, I couldn't choose between the final two because they've been my two favourite pop albums this year, and thou shalt deal.

Where has X Factor been confirmed?

Fantastic album, sadly looks like it won't shift Coldplay from no 1 spot if ITunes is anything to go by!

Hmm but nothing from the X Factor themselves or Flo, usually would be on her Facebook or via email!

They only announced JLS last night as well. Something strange is going on.

Wouldn't be surprised not to see her on it!

That is near enough mine if you trade Radiohead for Katy B for me (i dont have that album yet lol) and Femme Fatale and BTW are the best Pop albums this year definitey but FF rounds it off

Flo and Friendly Fires tie the top however! Pala has been blasted a lot and Ceremonials DAMN fell in love instantly!
