Aug 19, 2015I cannot stop listening to this album. It is that good. I never liked Mumford as banjo pickers but I love this album. It has me hypnotized. Great enigmatic lyrics.

Sep 28, 2015This album is amazing and just because they changed their music style doesn't mean the album is bad,the old fans need to accept change because this is one great album regardless of their older stuff

May 4, 2015An album that makes perfect sense, sonically cohesive and lyrically stunning. Mumford's vocals have never been better and the passion we know and love from the band remains and develops throughout. The addition of electric instrumentation and a full drum kit spices sings up significantly. Critics, consider yourself silenced.

May 4, 2015Amazing and brave new sound without losing their emotional touch. The first line of the album felt like a hand squeezing my heart and it didn't let go until the last song.
The statement is clear: Mumford and Sons are not banjos and kickdrums, they're real musicians. -
May 5, 2015Overall, a fantastic album. An obvious change of direction which listeners will either accept or reject.The only thing I miss is the use of the banjo, they could have at least thrown that in SOMEWHERE. The harmonies are still there and still give chills up my spine. Snake Eyes is my favorite.

May 5, 2015I think the album is excellent, good lyrics and memorable melodies. I still get that mumford vibe that I love, even with this new fresh sound.
Cheers. -
May 4, 2015Mumford and Sons still have yet to disappoint me. This is a fantastic new album; pure Mumford, in my opinion. I have loved their new sound from the first and couldn't understand why some others weren't giving them a chance. Mumford and Sons have most definitely not lost their soul with this album!

May 14, 2015With Wilder Mind, they eschew their recognizable sound, supplanting it with a less memorable collection of songs more readily relegated to background music than either of their previous albums. As big and perhaps unanticipated an adjustment as it is, however, Wilder Mind then deepens and improves with each consecutive listen.

May 11, 2015Wilder Mind is incredibly one-track, so much so that even on your first listen-through, you’ll likely already feel like you’ve heard closer ‘Hot Gates’ five or six times in the past hour.
