Believe

After listening to it myself multiple times, I’ve asked a handful of people their thoughts on the new Mumford & Sons album.

I’ve mostly heard “it’s okay” and “I miss old Mumford.”

Yes, I had to listen to the album, “Wilder Mind,” at least once to purge my own preconceived notions of what Mumford “is” out of my system.

However, it dawned on me that Mumford & Sons is whatever they CHOOSE to be. They’re super talented, and they made a great album. Sure, less banjo, but, that’s really okay. It takes major balls to change up your style like that.

Possibly my favourite Panic! at the Disco album is “Pretty. Odd.” And, I think that’s just because I like more folk/Indie than most Panic! fans. Panic! had major balls making that their second album, and it’s amazing, even if it wasn’t what fans were expecting.

The point is: Mumford & Sons has my immense respect, and I really enjoy their talent, in whatever medium/style they present it in. I’m pretty sure they could just read and score a book, and I’d love it. Marcus Mumford has an amazing voice.

Also, on a vaguely related note, you should all be listening to Punch Brothers.
