    Mumford are becoming an usual indie-band from garage that found some interesting instruments and don't know how to use it. There are some good songs yet - Tompkins Square Park, for example, would be erfect in any of previous albums. However, other part of this album is so NOT "Mumfording", that the only emotion left - dissapointing

    Seeing the band ditch their banjo-crazed folk music and move into a indie rock setting was interesting but it was not well executed. There was nothing wrong with their previous albums but this one was a little lack luster. With that said, I'm still a fan. The truth is not many musicians are brave enough to take the risk of jumping genres and although Marcus and the crew fell flat, it isSeeing the band ditch their banjo-crazed folk music and move into a indie rock setting was interesting but it was not well executed.

    NO BANJOS!!! This "new" sound of there's is unfortunately a very generic "indie" sound. The songs all blend together and not one sticks out. Lyrically it's nothing special either but not horrible. Overall it's too polished and overproduced. A very forgettable album, now excuse me while I go listen to Sigh No More...

    A guitar album from a band without a proper guitar player. A couple of decent songs save this album from being totally worthless but what a terrible move for this band.

    The song writing on this album, as always with Mumford & Sons is poetic and poignant. Whilst I can respect the brave choice the band has made to experiment with different genres, I don't think this album offers anything extraordinary in it's musicality and production.

Whilst I can respect the brave choice the band has made to experiment with different genres, I don't think this album offers anything extraordinary in it's musicality and production. This album does not have the spiritually contemplative or uplifting songs found on their previous tow albums and has many songs that could be easily mistaken for one another.I really do miss the old sound of Babel and Sigh No More. This album for me was a swing and a miss, but a swing nonetheless.… Expand

    These guys are actually plugging in now?! WHY? Sure it sounds okay, pretty damn good actually. But why the uneasy, hollow feeling that follows? Something went awry here, somewhere.

    Amiga, não tem como te defender, não tem como ficar do seu lado. Não tem como! Não faz isso, não faz isso... Eu te adoro, bicho (voz de choro)... Não faz isso... Trabalho inferior ao último disco, regrediu total. ''Snake Eyes'' é uma das poucas grandiosas neste disco.

    Far from electrifying. [Jun 2015, p.86]

    With 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.

    Wilder 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.
