"My favourite Florence + The Machine album. There's no bad song or filler in this album, and Florence's voice is tremendous. One of the best of 2015, it's beautiful!"  Reply

"This album. Wow. It's hard for me to accurately articulate the experience that I had with this album. This album took me through a range of emotions, it showed me the entire life experience of a human being. People talk about albums being life-affirming, this is it. Susanne Sundfør just kills it...."  [+]  Reply

"I really love the vibe on this album. It's not grandiose, but sincere and moody. People might call it too short, but when listening it doesnt really feel to short (though I do love it so much that I woudn't say no to more). It feels much more concise than short; he whittles away all the excesses ..."  [+]  Reply

"I really like it honestly. I don't mind change if it's good and this is definitely very good for being more of a chill outing. Her voice is wonderful for both slow and upbeat so I don't understand why some people are so against the change."  Reply

"Although a bit rough around the edges, Wolf Alice have definitely found a successful formula. The vocals and instrumentals vary; at times they're soft and sweet (Turn to Dust, Bros, Swallowtail), at others they're harsh and intense (You're a Germ, Giant Peach).
