Florence and the Machine- Shake It Out

Quote:

Shake It Out,” the first proper single, is every bit the equal of “Dog Days Are Over,” with the sort of steamrolling festival-crushing chorus that Welch sounds like she was born to deliver. And the album continues like that: Big sounds, big notes, gigantic crashing orchestra noises on every song. Florence is not playing around on this one. There’s no false modesty, no restraint. I’m terrible at predicting stuff like this, but I can’t remember the last time I was this sure an album would be massively popular.
