I’m probably in the minority but I really hope they continue down the electric direction they started on their last album.

I don't hate Wilder Mind but I am a huge fan of Sigh No More and Babel and I hope they bring back some of the charms of those albums that Wilder Mind missed. Guess this first track will give us an idea of what to expect.

I don’t think Mumford & Sons can ever release a bad song. On the other hand I see this really growing on me.

Not vocally, but I got a bit of a U2 vibe with this one. It's not comparable to some of their older hits, but I like it more than I expected.

This sounds like a Babel track with modern production and a tighter structure. I'm okay with that.
Of their singles that have charted Top 20 on Alt plus this, I'd probably rank them
The Cave
Little Lion Man
The Wolf
Guiding Light
Ditmas
Babel
I Will Wait
Roll Away Your Stone
Believe
Lover of the Light

Influenced by Babel is the worst direction they can go; not pleased with this.

Well that was boring. Really wish they had continued their transition into a pretty decent alt rock band they begun on this album — it’s material like this that made me initially dislike them. Sounds like a big hit though, at least on Alt/AAA/maybe HAC.

After multiple listens, I really like this! Surprised how spiritual the lyrics are, if this was played on christian radio or even in a church i wouldnt blink twice!

Can’t say I thought this would slow down this much only a few weeks into its run.

Bad callout? Or just a bump in the road?
In any case I agree with the above comment so I wouldn't complain if this underperformed.

This song officially says, "we are now into the Hot AC scene" to me.
