The review of the Mumford & Sons album included the following paragraph. It pretty much sums up my recent taste in music.
Fleet Foxes made the best albums, the Avett Brothers played the best shows, the Lumineers had the single stickiest hit, Of Monsters and Men had that other big song that involved yelling “HEY!” a lot, and the Mumfords towered over them all, packing arenas with what The New York Times described, half-admiringly and half-not, as an “astonishingly loud” brand of “bro-folk.”
