How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful

Currently Listening To: Long & Lost - Florence + the Machine

It's been almost four years since Florence + the Machine's last album, Ceremonials.
I can't believe how fast time flies!
Feels like just yesterday it was released.
Anyway.
How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful is Florence Welch's third album, just released on 1st June.

How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful

So I'm thinking the album cover should have been blue, to fit with the theme and all but oh well, black and white will do. 

Although it's good to hear from Florence again, something about this album feels different.

Is it a bad kind of different? 

Well I wouldn't really say that but Blue (let's just call it Blue - the full title is just too long) is somehow less entrancing than Ceremonials and Lungs.

Still a good album though, with a few standouts.
