I have been a Mumford & Sons fan since they initially released Sigh No More<\/em> in 2009. I was there for the long wait between Sigh No More <\/em>and Babel, <\/em>and the most heartbreaking hiatus after Babel. <\/em>I have seen Mumford & Sons at Osheaga in 2013 (front row too!) and will be seeing them again this June. So you could say I am a M&S fan, something like that.<\/p>\n

With the initial release of “Believe” off of Wilder Mind<\/em>, like most I was surprised by the turn of sound, and admittedly thought they were starting to sound like everyone else. Nevertheless<\/strong> “The Wolf” proved otherwise with strong lyrics reminding me of Sigh No More<\/em>; it spoke to me.<\/p>\n

Then came the release of “Snake Eyes”<\/a> which had me loving their new sound, as they found a nice blend and transition of “old sounds” with “new sounds.”<\/p>\n

After listening to the full album, I applaud Mumford & Sons for taking the time to ensure they have provided their audience with a thought-provoking album full of emotion. Therefore, we should not discourage Mumford & Sons from exploring their sounds. If a band grows, we should embrace it. They are trying to provide their audience with something new. I mean, look at The Beatles: every single album has a different sound, and they are seen as one of the greatest bands in history.<\/p>\n
