On this review I will be reviewing the new album from 'Florence And The Machine' which was released on the 29th June 2018. It's the fourth studio album by 'Florence And The Machine' called "High As Hope".
Florence And The Machine are an English indie rock band which were formed back in 2007. The members are 'Florence Welch' who is the lead vocals and percussion. 'Isabella Summers' who is the backing vocals and she is the keyboard player and synthesizer player. 'Robert Ackroyd' the lead guitar player and many more. I have been a fan of 'Florence And The Machine' for quite some time now. I first discovered them back in 2009 with the chart single "You Got The Love" which I thought was an amazing track at the time and I still love it to this day. It was number 5 in the first week of the UK Top 40 Chart. I heard that track back in primary and I just loved it. It made me want to discover more about them. Back in primary school I also heard their other single "Dog Days Are Over" which is an alright track. I literally became a fan of 'Florence And The Machine' I am just fascinated by 'Florence's' voice. Discussing more about their discography they have released four studio albums. Their debut album 'Lungs' Which I thought was a good album I enjoyed their debut quite a lot. Her successful song 'You Got The Love' is on that album. Her second studio album "Ceremonials" which is not really my favourite 'Florence And The Machine' album but I would say it's my least favourite. It's not that bad but there was one track that I did not like "Shake It Out" I kind find that track bit to repetitive. Her third studio album "How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful" which is my favourite 'Florence And The Machine album. I think it's their best album. It was nominated for a Mercury Prize in 2015 just like their debut album "Lungs" which was nominated in 2009. Which now brings us to her new album "High As Hope". After hearing the new album what did I think of it? First of I would like to congratulate 'Florence And The Machine' as they have been nominated for another Mercury Prize they have been nominated for this album "High As Hope". As I checked this is one of the bookies favourites to win the prize. In my opinion I think this is a good album I wouldn't say it's better than her 2015 album "How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful" which I think her 2015 album is so much better. But I think it's a good album a pretty good Indie Pop album.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album starting with "Hunger" I like this track it's this calm Indie Rock track. "Sky Full Of Song" this track kind of reminds me of some Irish Pop music probably because of the smoothing guitar sounds. "Grace" beautiful underrated track with beautiful vocals and beautiful piano melodys. "The End Of Love" defintley another underrated track on the album I would have liked if this track was being played on the radio. My least favourite track is "Patricia" It's not a bad track it's just not my favourite.
Overall I thought this was a good album not really her best album but it's good. I would come back to it. I am giving this album a 7/10.
