Listened to the new Mumford & Sons CD "Wilder Mind" at a friends place last night.

Yuck.

I've enjoyed their folky/rock/hipster style music to date, but with this new album they've completely lost their "signature sound". No banjo, no upright bass, all just electronica.

Sounds like an 80's rock band - shades of Aerosmith imho.

Sadly they have, in the words of their first hit single, "really f*&^ed it up this time". :(

I will not be spending my money on this.

Anyone else had a listen? Opinions? Am I alone in my disappointment?
