Prizefighter
Mumford & Sons
Mumford & Sons's Prizefighter arrives as a restless, colaborative statement that privileges communal songcraft over shock-value reinvention.
The best song(s) are those that prioritise momentum and collaboration, notably "Run Together" and "Badlands".
The album's core strengths are moments of honest self-examination, strong guest contributions, and late-album cohesion.
Rushmere
Mumford & Sons
Consensus is still forming across 4 professional reviews. Mumford & Sons's Rushmere reopens the band's folk playbook with a mixture of big-hearted anthems and hushed confessionals, a record that critics find comforting more often than challenging.
The best songs are the uptempo, Babel-recalling tracks like "Surrender" and "Carry On" because they provide relief from the album's prevailing misery.
The album's core strengths are its occasional energetic, familiar folk arrangements, but these are outweighed by self-pitying lyrics and retrograde choices.
