Florence + The Machine | How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful
Ennio Morricone is great, and I know he's especially popular here, so I'm not surprised he's taking that matchup in a landslide. But I am still a little surprised that everyone who ranked 1-8 put Florence 7th or 8th. I'm curious why people dislike her. I think it's a very consistent album, the verses and lead-up to the chorus in Ship to Wreck are absolutely gorgeous, and Caught is a hidden gem as well, which I've never heard anyone talk about.
