Reviews"Welch is a bloodied, bloodying songbird in a gilded cage of immaculately crafted, slow-burn, chest-beating empowerment anthems, gripping steel bars that her elegantly volcanic voice could shred at any moment.", "A Confident, Unflinching Tour De Force....Ceremonials Genuinely Rocks..." -- Grade: a, "There's a marked '80s quality to the production that invigorates the music and nudges it into a meatier realm.", Ranked #27 in Rolling Stone's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "With choirs and string players backing a voice that soars so high, it makes them seem like ants on the ground below.", Ranked #5 in Entertainment Weekly's 'The Top 10 Albums Of 2011' -- "A big believer in Red Sea-parting melodrama, she's got the orchestral grandeur to pull it off.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "This is a very British record, drawing on a tradition of iconoclastic U.K pop that stretches from Kate Bush and Siouxsie and the Banshees to PJ Harvey.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "CEREMONIALS is quite some achievement: an accomplished pop record infused with intelligence and imagination."
