True heartfelt songs. Returning to their sound.

I’ve been a fan of Mumford & Sons since the moment I first heard their debut album. My appreciation was never about just one thing: the bluegrass sounds, the lyrics, the vocals, the spiritual undertones. It was the way all those elements blended into something uniquely theirs. Prizefighter feels like a beautiful evolution of that sound. It carries the same core elements I fell in love with, now enriched by the maturity that comes with years, life, and the added warmth of friends’ voices woven throughout. I’ve been lucky enough to see them live a few times in Atlanta and Birmingham, and I’m thrilled that I get to see them again this summer in Louisville. This album feels like the perfect soundtrack leading up to it.

Sorry but since you lost your banjo player YOU LOST PART OF YOUR SOUL THE SOUND IS WAY SLOWER AND NOT AS MUCH FUN MORE DEPRESSING FIGURES DONT IT!!! SOMETIMES NOT ALWAYS BETTER LETTING AN ORIGINAL MEMBER GO!!!!

Liberals are perverts!

So very much have enjoyed this release. I was a big fan for the first 3 albums and not sure why past that. This really brings me back to those. It is very mellow, but very enjoyable lyrically an melody. Great for a long walk or a long drive!!!

I’ve had it on repeat, much like I had sigh no more and babel on repeat. Icarus is a standout. Vocals, instruments and collaborations are on point. So stoked for the boys.

Great collaborations

I’ve been waiting for this song ever since the band previewed it during the RUSHMERE tour. It’s perfect—just like when they performed it live. I had just become a new father, and in some way this song felt deeply connected to what I was feeling at the time. To me, it represents all the different conversations and situations in life that fill it with matter and meaning. Starting the song with pure serenity and ending with such honest words is truly special. 10/10. I can see why Marcus Mumford considers it one of his favorite songs he’s written. This album feels just as pure and honest in that same sense. Opening with “Here,” featuring Chris Stapleton’s rustic country voice blended with the band’s sound, is incredible. I loved Gigi Perez’s verse on “Icarus,” and following that with “Shadow of Man” was brilliant. Everything felt methodical—the order of the songs and the features were all on point. Honestly, I think Gracie Abrams could’ve been added to both “Badlands” and “The Banjo Song.” She would’ve absolutely crushed it. I will forever love Mumford & Sons. In a time where very few bands know how to grow and evolve with the times, they continue to age into each new era of music so naturally. Ted, Ben, and Marcus are clearly loving this chapter of the band, and you can hear it in the music. They’ll always have a fan in me—a guy who doesn’t look like he’d be listening to them, but who’s falling in love with them all over again with “Prizefighter.”

Songs back to great songs and inspiration! Sounds alive again!

As a long time fan, this goes up there with Babel. It gives all the right feelings!
