You make call it in this evening
But you've only lost the knife
Preset all your pretty feelings
May they comfort you tonight
And I'm climbing over something
And I'm running through these halls

I don't even know if I believe
I don't even know if I believe
I don't even know if I believe
Everything you're trying to say to me

I had the strangest feeling
Your world's not all it seems
So tired of misconceiving
What else this could've been

I don't even know if I believe
I don't even know if I believe
I don't even know if I believe
Everything you're trying to say to me

So open up my eyes, tell me I'm a liar
This is never gonna go our way
If I'm gonna have to guess what's on your mind

Oh say something, say something
Something like you love me
Unless you wanna move away, from the noise of this place?

I don't even know if I believe
I don't even know if I believe
I don't even know if I wanna believe
Anything you're trying to say to me

So open up my eyes, tell me I'm a liar
This is never gonna go our way
If I'm gonna have to guess what's on your mind

So open up my eyes, tell me I'm a liar
This is never gonna go our way
If I'm gonna have to guess what's on your mind

The appeal of Mumford & Sons was the acoustic sound and the folksy banjo driven tunes. They have gone rogue, dropped what made them famous and went a complete 180.

To use their own words: "They really fucked it up this time" (Little Lion Man)

Good tone on that electric guitar but the eventual melody sounds like a generic pop ditty; sounds more like Maroon Five or someone like that than Coldplay. It's admirable that they've gotten out of that predictable sound but this tune...
I don't know Mumford & Son's music. What I have heard didn't stay. This is nice though.
I can't believe I'm saying this (as I'm not a fan of theirs) but maybe they should bring back the banjos? At least that gave the allusion that they were playing "folk" music. Faulx music?

I think more like Counting Crows.  Remember their first album?  It was a bit different with a lead singer with a quirky singing style and it was all the rage.  But it was the kind of quirky that wears thin very quickly and everyone turned on them, perhaps more than they deserved.
Dreadful. I pity young bands that get too much hype too early.

Much worse than Coldplay?!

Gosh, this song strikes me with a Coldplay vibe (the later, bad Coldplay) 

 
Someone described it as "new Coldplay trying to sound like new U2". If you like that sort of thing...

No banjos beating me over the head? Maybe I won't hate this song on second listen.
This sounds less Folk and a lot more corporate than their earlier works.  I would be curious to sample the rest of this album.
