Still, it is quite refreshing to hear Mumford & Sons deliver some upbeat rockers and stretch further than before. Instead, it went the safer route, flirting with Imagine Dragons and the Fray kind of blandness. This reinvention definitely has enlivened the band and it could have taken this opportunity to become something really interesting and insightful, akin to the Scottish band Frightened Rabbit. This contrast is felt going from the opener "Tomkins Square Park," which showcases the former, to the second track, single "Believe," which showcases the latter. At its worst, this sound makes the band occasionally sound like a third-rate imitation of Coldplay and U2. At its best, this sound reawakens the band and brings out a better side than its previous material. On its third offering, Mumford & Sons drops the banjos and the old-timey clothing and instead dresses in leather and adopts a new-wave leaning bounce. It was a loaded week and here is a breakdown of many of its most notable releases.
