shred Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 :( But they deserve it. They have been touring since Sigh No More came out! I hope when they come back it's to release their third album. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 What do we think of the new single? I'm really liking it. I was a bit iffy when I heard they were ditching the banjos but so far so good. From the first single, their style of music is still retained - just a little bit more edgier, darker. So I think the third album will be quite good. Can't wait!

lennyrott1 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I think it is an alright song! Definitely reminiscent of Coldplay and X&Y era to me. I am excited for the less anthemic, more alternative natured songs, which are usually my favorite by these guys. Believe is okay, but really is just a a differently produced, electronic guitar version of their typical formula in my opinion. These guys are freak musicians, Marcus Mumford apparently can play a mean drumset, so I hope that they actually make some gritty rock and roll on their album! I am excited to hear it. Definitely needed to mix their sound up since Babel felt kind of repetitive of their first brilliant album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Agreed. I think Believe sounds like a song where they replace their banjos with guitars. LOL. These guys are freak musicians, Marcus Mumford apparently can play a mean drumset, Yes he can. He's usually playing the drums when they do Lovers of the Light live.

R's Symphony Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 This is better than Believe. Definitely amps me up for the new album :) [video=youtube;BsP-MjIueL4] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gai Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 yeah, like that song. they just might pull off the difficult sound redefinition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grids Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 The Believe song on lyrics video makes me nostalgic. Brings back to the old times :nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyrott1 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 ehhhhhhhhhhh. "The Wolf" is ehhhhh. For me, adding electronic instruments with a little bit of fuzz doesn't "redifine your sound." This song played acoustic would sound literally identical to their previous albums which in my opinion doesn't make it very exciting. It is okay I guess, but it is mostly really formulaic. Really straight forward, safe rock song. It doesn't make me want to jump around energetically like their old stuff. Honestly the electric guitar and live drumming make this song more monotonous if anything. I still like Believe more. Has more of a climactic build and I think the guitar solo in the middle is really cool. Still can't wait to hear the whole album though. I am sure there will be some killer tracks.

getithom Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Wow. This is so much better than Believe it's ridiculous. While Believe was almost something right out of Coldplay's catalogue, this is something of their own and I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Not all that keen on The Wolf to be honest. Think Believe sounds better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I don't know what I think of this new song. Listened to it twice and I'm bored with it. Such a shame though. Wish they stuck with their old style. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sa_spurs_tx Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 You think Believe sounds like Coldplay?.. Listen to the new single Hot Gates! It's awesome... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grids Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 You think Believe sounds like Coldplay?.. Listen to the new single Hot Gates! It's awesome... :) I personally dont think so. Mumford and Sons are being themselves and vice versa. I gotta say that Believe is unbelievably good and the lyrics video is purely awesome. Always on repeat everyday.

lennyrott1 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Just listened to the new album and extremely disappointed. There are some really solid tracks but for the most part I had a hard time paying attention...really dull rock and roll formula. Most tracks felt like formulaic filler. I am a big fan of these fella's first few albums and their energy. I love actual folk and bluegrass, and I think they represented the genre decently in the pop world, but this new album sounds like The National and Arcade Fire without any grit or creativity. Blech. It just sounds like their last two records with electric instruments and half the soul. Really like some tracks though, don't want to take it all away from them, but surprised that it is getting positive reviews across the board.

I'm a huge fan of these boys but I'm extremely disappointed with this album. :( I think I only like two song on this album (Wilder Mind and Monster). Everything else is pretty meh. This album shows they can't do rock properly. They should stick with folk. It suits Marcus' voice more. He sounds horribly in most of the songs. It doesn't go well with the sound of the album.

Sparky Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 I'm happy they ditched the banjo. I liked a few of their songs but too much banjo! Their sound seems more developed now and they are a more complete band imo. 'Believe' and 'The Wolf' are my favourites atm. It's not a standout album though, I do need to give it some more listens but it is quite consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouch Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Isn't it funny how the Mumford & Sons folk sound was all a gimmick, and Wilder Mind is just evidence they suck as a band without it? :wiseguy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospector Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Love the new album, there aren't riffs and really developed intrumentantion, but the songs are full of baeutiful melodies. Its not perfect, there some tracks that sound like fillers (Cold Arms and Mosters), but overall its better than Babel. The formula of the songs is pretty much the same of previous albuns, the just managed to keep it fresh with electric guitars, drums and background synths. In the end it's all about great songwriting, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
