Please, most of you get over your own opinions of your own opinions, and revel in something that is smart, gorgeous, inspiring, and not created in 1969. That is all.  |

This particular song would be a good opening song for the increasingly over-produced and over-blown "Olympics opening ceremony". It has the all the qualities: thunderous drumming, anthemic feel-good factor and "suitable for all ages". clever |

I think she's a great pop star image and personality wise but I'm just not a fan of Florence's songs. Too much shouting, she has the same effect on me as Mumford and Sons. I just need the yelling to STOP.

Sure, it's a lot of studio assistance, but the entire production makes a potent song, no matter how it's done. 9  |

Sheesh
Clearly a talented woman, don't wanna be hatin on her but NOTHING comes through except the pretense that SOMETHING is SO dramatic. What? Tori Amos on meth! Cant say it better. |
