Thoughts on a Wilder Mind. I'm gonna give it to you straight, I like the regular mind. The one that plays the Banjo and the Dobro and the Double Bass and all them traditional stuff. Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm too conservative and I don't like stuff like a wild mind but I really think Mumford and Sons should have stuck with the traditional folk music and not swing head on into commercial rock.
Hard fans of Indie Rock and Mumford & Sons like me would tell you, bands like this here, are hard to come by. The lyrical content, the sound of the Banjo, you just can't get it anywhere else. Just plain genius. Comparing the Wilder Mind album with previous materials, Sigh) Babel,let and Sigh No More... It goes without saying, something went down. The Banjos were gone, in comes electric guitars and effects. Replacing the double bass is a bass guitar, I was like, what the fuck were they thinking? They decided to do away with the one thing that stands them out.
Listening to the record for the first time, I made no connection whatsoever. Sounded like another regular Indie band from London. The enigmatic effect was gone. I know some fans would disagree, some might even say this is their best work yet, to those people I say; I guess we like them for different reasons.
The song Wilder Mind was a good one. Ditmas I have described as the missing link between Wilder Mind album and Mumford and Sons (go-figure). Tompkins Square Park was quite groovy. I'm not contradicting myself here. Not saying Wilder Mind is not a good album, alls I'm saying is, it's not a good Mumford and Sons' album. Some of us don't appreciate experiments or God forbid, crossovers.
