Clear can be here and there parallels to bands like The Decemberists or Mumford & Sons make. But is that surprising?
No, because all these bands have now times its roots in folk-rock. But despite their shared musical 'homeland' they all have their own style, which she characterizes and makes unmistakable.
The two negative reviewers here I would like to say the following:
You, dear "Miri" from Vienna, I can only guess better next time to let you know before you buy a CD or an MP3 album. The Lumineers are one of the few bands that can be found on YouTube countless live sessions in excellent quality (video and audio). That you do not like the voice of Wesley Schultz, is a matter of taste, but you knew already earlier.
And you, Tobias W .: Your rate should refer to the album as such. I had years ago a similar problem as you, and then unhesitatingly Amazon has sent a new, welded copy me by contacting the support. Dispute the goods, if you are not satisfied with the quality. According Fernabsatzgesetz you have a 14-day return policy. If you're not to be able to make use of your legal rights, you can not complain. And the band can certainly do not help.
