I summarize about as short as possible:
After the first time listening, I thought ok, that does not sound completely by Mumford. After the second pass, I noticed that it still totally sounds like the guys. But just in a different package. Listen After the third time I've found that, without exception, every piece has its own highlights and Marcus Mumford's body is simply a gift. The louder tones should be said that there are many unmistakable passages that indicate anger and separation and such a thing can stop articulate with electric instruments. Yes, that was even before that no, but the guys want to just simply let off some steam, break new ground and is not always easy.
What I do not even understand the "stadium rock" -Beschimpfungen. Apparently, those who do not know what the stadium is rock!
Here, the banjo was omitted, yes! Point! It is still Mumford & Sons, not a bit Coldplay or whatever. It sounds Oellig unlike Babel and SNM, but still different from the rest. Let the free spirits their will and finally taking your constant geflame the gas!
5 stars for a great album, one of the best bands of this generation!
