History YMMV / FlorenceAndTheMachine

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: You '''will''' get nightmares from her music videos.
** ''Blinding'' is a song with a pleasent scream at the start of it. A weird animal squeak and people laughing. Unnerving to say the least.
** The syncopation in the piano in "Seven Devils" sounds like somebody playing bones, probably on purpose.
** ''What The Water Gave Me'' has a creepily sparse production and you know the suicide thing.
** ''Kiss With A Fist'' just read the lyrics
** ''Drumming Song'' as noted before for it's sounding and actions indicating insanity and or suicide.
** "Remain Nameless" is particularly creepy.
** "Never Let Me Go" is a typical Florence song, complete with its topic of drowning. However, the music video shows Florence melting into a sea monster in the end, with a warped screen, foam forming around her, black ink spewing down her chin, and her going from apathy to agony. It borders on TearJerker.
** Basically, listen to the lyrics, be disturbed.
* MoodDissonance: See HighOctaneNightmareFuel, directly above. For example, take this portion from "Spectrum".

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: You've Got The Love (even if it's CoveredUp), No Light No Light, What The Water Gave Me, Drumming Song, Shake it Out, Cosmic Love, and [[SignatureSong of course,]] Dog Days Are Over. And that's not half of it.
** The covers of Jackson and Try a Little Tenderness on her MTV Live Unplugged album.
** DRUMMING. SONG. UNPLUGGED. Especially the oh oh ohs at the end.

We'll drag bodies from a ground

** There have been statements among the viewing public of the No Light, No Light video that it has a racist under-tone, as the video has a man in {{blackface}} performing an aggressively sensual dance and [[ScaryBlackMan stabbing a voodoo doll]], and someone else in blackface [[WhereDaWhiteWomenAt chasing her through a city]]. She's saved by white choirboys and a white lover. Defenders say that the people in blackface are meant to be demons, which raises even more unfortunate implications.

* EpicRiff: "Seven Devils" piano riff is irresistible

** Basically, listen to the lyrics, be disturbed.
* LyricalDissonance - WordOfGod says "Drumming Song" is about a crush, but to the casual listener, it sounds like the singer is ''slowly going insane.''

** There have been statements among the viewing public of the No Light, No Light video that it has a racist under-tone, surely not on purpose.

--> I put my hand under her skirt and said 'don't worry, it's not going to hurt'
** The line itself is very odd but a later line makes it's worse.
--> Get your [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean filthy fingers out of my pie]].
