I saw they sold lots of albums. Never heard them before . I mean I heard of their name but not music. Anyone who knows what I like is this someone I should check out? They good?. I love them but unless you like epic, U2-like music made by White men, you should probably pass. Yea, they're U2 with banjos, you can decide if thats a good thing or not.

Great numbers for Mumford, especially without a big hit!

New track from their upcoming album. Written with Ryan Tedder and Brent Kutzle (Ryans bandmate in OneRepublic) I thought it would be horrible from the intro, but by the end I was sold on it.

Honestly, Gods Plan is the only song this entire year that really felt like a huge hit, and its already forgotten.

Lauren performed this on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday. Still not sure why they went with this as the next single, but hopefully it does well. They probably chose this as the single because its less Christian lyrically and more mainstream accessible than the rest of the album

This is an excellent album, although I dont forsee any radio hits coming from it.

This is pretty good, like they mashed the styles of their last 3 albums into one song

Tedder writes original songs for his own band, but seems to write the same song for everyone else? I think he does that on purpose, so his band's songs stand out more. As long as he doesn't make Foster The People's new songs sound like "Halo" or "Apologize" Ryan did Doing it for the Money on their last album, so id expect something kinda similar

They sang it exactly like the original. In fact it made me want to hear the original more. Not exactly. They shortened down the intro, which is one of the parts of the original song that I loved the most. some of the main reasons I never got into this cover is also the vocals. John Toto's lead singer(can't recall his name) fits the atmosphere of the song, the instruments. The flutes, the gong, ect.., but most of all. Weezer's version strips the song of its original epic fade out. At least that's what I heard. On a different note Toto's "Hashpipe" hits that Weezer button, because they kept all the juicy parts of the song intact...and then some. Also most of the originals great harmonies are either missing or low in the mix, the synth solo is a lot different, and Steve Lukathers guitar lines are replaced by Weezery power chords

He's a decent guitar player, but that's literally all he has. Hes a little better than decent as a guitar player lol. Eric Clapton has said hes a master guitar player. Ill just leave this here www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fNjZuKfD1I

In other words, you like this song is slightly better than "Who We Are". They have pretty much been Christian Rock exclusive since that song. Wasn't "Float" a lead too? Yup, Float went to alt and Live It Well went to Christian IMO Dark Horses 8/10 Who We Are 7/10 Float 7/10 Live It Well 6/10 Native Tongue 6/10
