So, I've been listening to the Mumford and Sons album Sigh no More lately... There's one song in particular that really amazes me every time I hear it:
That song is pure musical genius. The lyrics are powerful, and catchy, the music builds up to a wall of sound climax that just wants to destroy your speakers, and the song ranges between the massive wall of sound and nothing more than Marcus' voice, so when the wall of sound hits, it seems like a punch in the face.
Hell, the whole album is just beautiful, and many of the song on there demonstrate great use of dynamics, it's almost like that's a hallmark of their songwriting, and it's something that's been so lacking in music lately, with everything compressed beyond recognition...
