Well I have a confession to make,I have been a fan of Mumford & Sons for a long time.There are not many bands who play quality Indie Rock but thankfully Mumford & Sons are one of those who play some really good and inspiring Indie music, that too passionately, keeping in mind their fans!So when I received their latest album, I was as happy as a child!Enough with the intro,here is the review.
The first song Tompkins Square Park is a delight to listen ,wonderfully orchestrated,divine lyrics,everything about it is top notch!Same goes for Believe and The Wolf - both of them are incredibly awesome.You can't stop yourself from listening to them again and again..The title track Wilder Mind is a unique track because you don't hear this genre and this type of arrangement nowadays .It takes the album to a new level.You have to listen it a couple of times to feel its "essence".Just Smoke and Monster are good to the ears but they are not "groundbreaking" stuff.Still they can easily be a part of your iPod.
The second "half" of the album offers relatively fresh sounds that are new for Mumford & Sons.Prime example of this are the tracks - Snake Eyes,Broad Shouldered Breasts and Cold Arms. There is so much of freshness that I listened to them for numerous times on loop!The last ones to follow are Ditmas,Only Love and Hot Gates which provide the album a perfect end or as they say, "a dreamy finish."
The final word on this album- Wait a second, do you really want to know this? This review should be a milliblog and I should be acting like a miser when it comes to using words but while writing it ,I completely forgot about the word limit!This bears perfect testimony to the supremacy of this album.It's a perfect album for the season.Just sit back on your couch,have a cup of coffee, watch the rains pouring from the sky and listen to this album and drown yourself in the ocean of some quality Indie music!What are you waiting for,go grab your copies before they last! Otherwise you will have to regret later on because as far as I know this is a best seller already.I genuinely feel that this is by far the best album of this year and even Rolling Stone and Billboard have the same opinion! I am no expert but they definitely are so listen to them and GO and Grab your copies,wait a second ,not "Go and Grab your copies" , "Run and Grab your copies." 45 minutes of pure pleasure.Adroitness in it's true form!I really can write 10 more pages on it's excellence but I will stop now otherwise all your fun will get spoiled.
My Rating- 4/5
Picks- Tompkins Square Park,Believe,The Wolf,Wilder Mind,Broad Shouldered Breasts,Ditmas,Only Love,Hot Gates
