Albumism’s 50 Best Albums of 2018 | #47: Florence + The Machine’s ‘High As Hope’

November 27, 2018 Albumism Staff

#47
Florence + The Machine
| High As Hope
Republic

According to Liz Itkowsky: “High As Hope is a true pop album. Not as stylish as How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful (2015), it expresses a more mature, unhurried tempo for the pop outfit. The newfound lyrical self-analysis would benefit from the same baroque antics that have made Florence + The Machine such an interesting fixture on pop charts. But with age comes warmth and introspection, and both are demonstrated beautifully here by Welch and her steadfast collaborators.”
