    I suppose I was hoping for some more energy in albums such as Lungs or Ceremonials. By the time I finished the album, it had some moderately interesting songs, such as Dream Girl Evil, or Cassandra, but ultimately I was just glad I finished the entire album. This is going to be polarizing, since I don't like either HBHBHB or High as Hope, but it seems like Florence's explosive first albumI suppose I was hoping for some more energy in albums such as Lungs or Ceremonials.

    No Machine=no passion. Florence's voice sounds tired and pale. And I thought High As Hope is a bad album....

    Heaven is Here, My Love and Cassandra are the highlights, nothing overwhelming as the first three albums they released. Even High as Hope is more cohesive and has better melodies all the way long.

    Eu amo muito algumas tracks porém outras além de não ser memoráveis, soam muito parecidas umas com as outras...

    Welch's powerful vocals shine on this record through anthemic synthpop, baroque pop and folk balladry, as the band experiment with new textures, aligning with the inspiration drawn from the Pre-Raphaelite tradition of embracing contrast within art.

    She's taken a great leap forward at the very moment one was required. [Jul 2022, p.89]

    Dance Fever sounds like Welch’s most conceptual album yet, but in a fashion that allows the most catharsis her work has conjured since “Shake It Out”. Although much more theatrical than the honest but somehow boring High as Hope, this record asks its listener to sit a bit with the noise in our heads that might usually make us so uncomfortable.
