Well, well, well.... 

 

 

Some of the taste here during this was very questionable. 

 

Honestly CANNOT believe Shake It Out did not make it to the top spot or even TOP3. The nerve! 

 

Fair play @Florence Belch for hosting this and doing a great job.  I'm not going to say this rate was rigged but...

 

I'm happy Cosmic Love is taking the top spot but honestly hope Florence herself will never see this rate so she doesn't include some of these TOP song in her future setlists. 

Miss Belch would have rigged WKOM to number 1 if she was gonna rig.

@Florence Belch OUR FAVOURITE GHOST HOST THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE RATE, TRULY MOST ENTERTAINING EVER ON ATRL.

Thank you for everything @Florence Belch  

[stjosephprey4us]

@Florence Belch thank you for hosting!!!  (And yes, I know you can't react anymore today )

[Loca]

I…don't really remember what Cosmic Love sounds like. I do, however, remember that iconic intro of Queen of Peace. 
 

much to think about

[Suilen]

@Florence Belch thanks for hosting, it was a great opportunity to rediscover the older albums and finally listen to Dance Fever (which ended up pretty listenable at the end of the day). The rate was fun, you were really devoted to your craft, the consistent schedule was a big plus too. Also, thank you for letting me submit the ballot basically at the last minute, I should've done it from the start, really, but a lot of other things were happening.

[Florence Belch]

As for my final post as the host, I wanna thank you all Flows (or, as I like to call you, my fellow Tuscan Machines)!

Be it for joining the megarate by submitting your ballots or for just shitposting in here, what's important is that we all had fun and reached a cosmic love.mp3 that took the form of this thread. It wouldn't have been the same without any of your posts or takes, and it turned out so special because you all ARE special, and I want you to know that. You made all the work behind it something that goes well beyond just a worth, and I couldn't be happier and prouder! So thank you all, from the belch of my heart

 

Special thanks to @Ace Reject for allowing me to host the megarate and to @killer_rose for supplying us with all the memorable Flo memes

 

The last thing I can wish for is to see you all when Florence blesses us with a new album! In the meantime, remember to have your Third Eye open and to always let yourself be the ultimately truer, growing version of yourself, cause that's what Mother Flo has taught us

IT'S NOT EVEN TOP 3. 

Its okay I'm ok

 

[anastaciabby]

@Florence Belchthank you so much for tagging me sis! This was so fun and you did an amazing job hosting 

I wish i had joined the forum back when it was happening but seeing my favorite song of her's be top 2 is amazing!

[BlackoutZone]

This is the last rate I'm participating in for a while, that **** is exhausting if you want to follow

 

So let me head out, cause 4.5h later I'm still in Penacony, seeing Aventurine argue with his split personalities and I won't be able to handle it much longer

[1989]

Thank you so much for hosting @Florence Belch! Great job, amazingly organized rate! 

[Uncatena]

me not being in the top voters of any of the top 5

 

this rate was a MESS but in the absolute best way. some truly crazy results. it was v fun im glad I participated. big thank you to @Florence Belch for hosting a fun, messy rate very well! <3 

 

WKOM ROBBED.

Realistically, how the hell did HBHBHB outlast Qop and WKOM? It is my fav Florence song ever as well, but it's just an album track that I felt like never received that much love. Maybe I missed something, can't complain tho

Because I gave HBHBHB a 10 and the other two 8s. 
 

 

But if I rated now QOP would be another 10 I think. 

[Mr. Peanutbutter]

Solid top 10 tbh All songs are 10/10

 

Thank you for hosting @Florence Belch, that was fun!

[Parachutes]

The top 3 were all 11s from me and top 5 all 10+ 

 

Was not expecting What the Water Gave Me to pull through like that WOW  Overall happy with how this went 

 

Thanks for putting this on @Florence Belch It was really fun to revisit their discography and I left with some new faves

12. My Love

 

OVERALL SCORE:

8.800

 

Patricias (12, 11): gagacasanova, khalyan
Lovers To Lovers (10): BlackoutZone, BowWow, Curaga, HonourableVomit, Mr. Peanutbutter, stjosephprey4us, Supervillain, Taylor fanboy, Why
Tuscan Machines (9): 1989, Achilles., ahauntingnearu, AshleyLovescats887, CBC, Florence Belch, Heldenzeit, Khal, makeawish, MidnightsAtPeace, Mikeymoonshine, Paddy, PaloSanto
Ponzi, sparrowblue, Torment
Tuscan Tomato-throwers (2):
Haters to Haters (1): 
Joshuas (0, -1):

 

Thoughts:
AshleyLovescats887: she wrote a song about not knowing what to write - the irony is iconic
Ewan Chaos: It's a bit... Bland? I guess, at least for Florence's standards, but definitely one of the more enjoyable songs on this album
HonourableVomit:  The LIVE version (!!) of My Love is kind of essential Florence. The album version is refreshing when it hits because of the sequencing but I really don't think anything on this album is in its best form in the studio. 
MidnightsAtPeace: OKAYYYY THIS CEREMONIALS BOP!!!!! by the time the intro's over my soul has already ascended.
sparrowblue: a Dance Fever's interesting moment.

It okay bb, U deserved better 💛

[Achilles.]

So close and yet so far.  My 12 going out in the runner up position, I can never win.  
 

Cosmic Love is honestly probably my least favorite song in the top 20 but I can't even really be mad about it because Lungs deserved some reparations after the ******* disrespect its been shown here.  

 

Speaking of which, the Shake It Out placement and Never Let Me Go drags, lord help me. Some of yall need to sleep with your third eyes open because us Ceremonials stans will be like seven devils coming to fill your pockets with stones and leave you in the arms of the ocean. 

 

It's been so nice having this opportunity to rediscover my love for some songs I've overlooked through the years. But I'm looking over my ballot and don't know what the hell I was thinking with some of these numbers. Why did I give Cosmic Love a higher score than Drumming Song or Hurricane Drunk when I like the latter two more? Why didn't I give everything on Ceremonials a 10+? Did I overrate Hunger's friends (even though none of them got higher than a 7.5)? Why was I so stingy with the 10s? Why did I underrate my faves from HBHBHBHBHBHBHBHBHBHB? The world may never know.

 

Thank you sooooo much for hosting this @Florence Belch I can't imagine anyone could have done it better! I've noticed you around the forum before (how could one not, when you have such a memorable username) but I don't think we've ever talked. But you're so funny and sweet and I think I can safely speak for all of us when I say that it's been wonderful getting to spend this time with you!

 

Hope to see you all in the long defunct Florence + the Machine base thread! Kinda weird how she has so many fans willing to participate in a discography rate but nobody ever talks about her on this site.

[Velvet Night]

The top 5 is amazing even though I wanted QoP to win! Cosmic Love is a bit of a basic winner but I'm honestly not mad at it because it's a beautiful song and a FATM classic! 

Thank you so much for hosting @Florence Belch 

[sparrowblue]

i guess Never Let Me Go is still too ahead of it's time for everybody

 

[sparrowblue]

and i would've had some deep cuts like The End Of love, Hiding, Pure Feeling, Falling, in the top 20 but we can't have it all. @Florence Belch thank you for hosting because of this i was able to revisit a lot of songs and discover some hidden gems.
