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
Mumford & Sons's Rushmere returns the group to a back-to-basics folk palette, trading recent experiments for banjo-led anthems, hushed confessionals and stadium-sized choruses that aim squarely for emotional honesty.
The best song is “Monochrome” for its finger-picked majesty and soul-stirring vocals.
The album's core strengths are its occasional energetic, familiar folk arrangements, but these are outweighed by self-pitying lyrics and retrograde choices.
