Lungs, the debut album by Florence and the Machine is a mix of soul, rock and indie music. It has received numerous five star reviews and one that that truly attracted me to the group was the amazing album cover.

"Dog Days are Over," the albums opening track showcases the bands talents with a gentle sounds of soft vocals and harp tones. It leads into a thunderous crescendo and then cuts into a timid piano piece. It is a great way for the band to introduce themselves and their talents to the listeners and encourages people to look closely at the album as a whole.

Florence Welch really seems to know her stuff from dark and sullen to cosmic and exciting, she is an outstanding singer and songwriter. She even included a track entitled "Drumming Song" which has a more familiar retro sound, for those who prefer that music type.

This eclectic mix full of adventure is very much an album in the pop genre as it seems to truly showcase its more rousing selections like Rabbit Heart and Hurricane Drunk which in my opinion have to be two of the best songs that you will hear this year. So don't be expecting Lungs to be the last you will hear from Florence & The Machine. This group has created a superb first album with a collection of songs full of excitement and intrigue. Their musical talents, singing and songwriting abilities are unmatched in any new group breaking out onto the scene today, and will probably have their next album out on the scene in the next year or so I would imagine.

This band will pick up a fan base quickly and will have a long and successful career in the music industry. Lungs is an incredible album and one well worth purchasing if you enjoy music that is fresh and exciting. You wont be disappointed!
