Hey, everyone! My boyfriend wanted me to write a review for "Sigh No More" for his website, and I'm wondering if y'all could give me some feedback since he wants me to write thêm in the future? haha
bởi now, if bạn haven't heard the name "Mumford & Sons," bạn may be living in a cave with your fingers in your ears. With only one album, they’ve hovered at the hàng đầu, đầu trang of the U.K. charts for 72 straight weeks, as well as earning high spots in all the other predominantly English-speaking countries—you can’t turn on a radio in the U.S. without hearing “Little Lion Man” at least once nowadays. This London-based quartet has tapped into the được ưa chuộng masses playing catchy folk with naught but a âm bass, tiếng bass, bass drum and a tambourine as their percussion on most of their songs, still somehow urging the listener to bounce up and down hoặc headbang while listening.
Sigh No thêm is deliciously rife with musical explosions that are surprising on the first few listens, and once bạn get used to them, bạn wait on the edge of your ghế, chỗ ngồi for them and have a braingasm when the tường hits you. In the cases of “Little Lion Man” and “Roll Away Your Stone,” two of the four singles on the album, “Country” Winston Marshall’s insane banjo playing carries these intense moments rhythmically much further than any other instrument; in calmer songs such as “White Blank Page” and “I Gave bạn All,” the peaks are thêm gradual and paced, pulling the listener through the entire song despite the slower tempo.
Although Mumford is the lead, each of the members’ voices can be distinctly heard during invigorating choruses, as they all have a unique melodic line that enriches rather than overburdens the listener with noise. This makes them able to get away with just hát an open “ahhh” on a few tracks without becoming boring, and when they go a capella, there’s nothing to do but bask in it.
Apart from the fact that they subtly lifted lines from Shakespeare and Hemingway, many of Mumford & Sons’s lyrics are simple yet so well-crafted that each song allows the listener to glean a story from them in their own minds. “Dust Bowl Dance” is one of the few on the album that doesn’t leave much room for personal imagination, but it still touches on the universal issue of unequal wealth distribution, as Mumford asks “One man has and the other has not/ How can bạn tình yêu what it is bạn have got?”
“After The Storm” is a standout track, using no percussion whatsoever, a guitar, and Marcus Mumford’s gentle vocals. It’s certainly not the only one in which tình yêu is mentioned, but it seems to be thêm personal, and it is perfect to listen to after a quarrel - “Love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears,” Mumford sings amongst other romantic postulations that ultimately are about humbling yourself before the harsh world and helping your partner to survive.
The tiêu đề track, “Sigh No More,” also declares that “love, it will not betray you, dismay, hoặc enslave you/ It will set bạn free”, but it seems to invoke tình yêu for your fellow man – it’s definitely the feel-good song on the album. The slow fade-in of Mumford’s đàn ghi ta, guitar eases the listener into the music, and each instrument adds itself on seamlessly, introducing their musical style so well that no other song could have worked as the first track.
Considering none of these musicians owned their own instruments when they started recording, the aspects of their composition are simply astounding. They have managed to create âm nhạc that is diverse and exciting, with simple, down-to-earth themes that don’t extrapolate hoặc understate – the perfect recipe for our fast-paced world, when all we need is something attention-getting that makes us slow down and think a little.
That's all ^^; there's a link to his website on my thông tin các nhân if bạn want to check out this review with all the pretty graphics, but really I'm just looking for critiques on my nghề viết văn :) thanks!
