Sigh No More album Product Description
Sigh No More album by Mumford & Sons was released Oct 24, 2011 on the Glass Note label. English folk outfit Mumford & Sons' full-length debut owes more than a cursory nod to bands like the Waterboys, the Pogues, and the Men They Couldn't Hang. The group's heady blend of biblical imagery, pastoral introspection, and raucous, pub-soaked heartache may be earnest to a fault, but when the wildly imperfect Sigh No More is firing on all cylinders, as is the case with stand-out cuts like "The Cave," "Winter Winds," and "Little Lion Man," it's hard not to get swept up in the rapture. Like their London underground folk scene contemporaries Noah & the Whale, Johnny Flynn, and Laura Marling, Mumford & Sons' take on British folk is far from traditional. There's a deep vein of 21st century Americana that runs through the album, suggesting a healthy diet of Fleet Foxes, Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, Blitzen Trapper, and Marah. That melding of styles, along with some solid knob-twiddling from Arcade Fire/Coldplay producer Markus Dravs, helps to keep the record from completely sinking into the quicksand of its myriad slow numbers -- tracks like "I Gave You All," "Thistle & Weeds," and "After the Storm" are pretty and plain enough, but they neuter a band this spirited. ...See Full Description

| Perfection in carnate Every song is fluent and meaningful, Lyrically genious, and full of soul By shawn_wickstrom (Humansville, MO, USA)  This review is for a different format. |
| F Bomb alert I was becoming a fan of Mumford & Sons from a few of their appearances on TV. I got "Sigh No More" as a gift and was enjoying the music until "Little Lion Man," which included the F word in the refrain. With all the talented writing, it is amazing they took the low road on this one. For me, it really takes away from enjoying the whole album. My interest to go back and play it often has gone down to near-zero. By tourer (central Florida, USA) This review is for a different format. |
| Hopefully a sign o'more Out of left field comes this brilliant work--profound, prophetic-- their various eclecticisms all rising together into an organic musical force as compelling as any in recent memory. By Jesse (Bunnell, Florida)  This review is for a different format. |
| Amazing I love the songs, it speaks out to you. By lam_toni (Toronto)  This review is for a different format. |
