Mumford and Sons is a music group that is a rock group, but they put their very own style to it. They have banjos and brass and keep up beat for their songs. They feel of the music is upbeat. In the song The Cave there is a steady pace to the song which is very fun to listen to. They use violins in their songs in a fast pace motion in some so you feel energized as you listen. Also, the pitch of the lead singers’ voice makes you want to keep listening. This group is a tough group to compare to anyone group but I’d probably say they sound a lot like The Black Keys or solo singer Ray Lamontagne. In the song The Cave the lyrics talk about not letting you choke on the noose around your neck which is very graphic but it shows how they are looking out for you. This song is a great song especially when you watch the video of the group parading down the streets of Mexico after they gave their instruments to a mariachi band. I completely agree with the critics of this group. They all seem to say that they are a great group, which they are and their album sales prove it. Their new album Babel went platinum which is a huge accomplishment for a music group. The reviews of this group are up there with top notch singers such as Pink and U2. I feel like this group is very good and great to listen to. I would strongly advise any listeners of music to start listening to Mumford and Sons. It is definitely a wise choice to invest the money in their new album Babel which is expected to sell 600000 copies.
