Review

Well, well, well! Let's dive into the wonderfully weird world of Florence + The Machine's 'Lungs', shall we? This debut album is like a musical rollercoaster ride through a haunted forest, with Florence Welch as our slightly unhinged tour guide.

From the get-go, 'Lungs' grabs you by the eardrums and refuses to let go. It's a smorgasbord of genres, blending indie rock, baroque pop, and art rock with a dash of punk blues for good measure. It's like Florence and co. raided a musical buffet and decided to pile everything onto one plate. And you know what? It works!

Florence's voice is the star of the show here, folks. It's powerful, it's ethereal, and it could probably shatter glass if she really wanted to. Songs like 'Dog Days Are Over' and 'Cosmic Love' showcase her vocal acrobatics, while tracks like 'Kiss With A Fist' prove she can rock out with the best of them. The production is top-notch too, making sure every wail and whisper hits you right where it counts. No wonder this album snagged a Mercury Prize nomination and a Brit Award - it's got more hooks than a fishing tackle shop! - Chloe
