    Not a solid album, not good, full of fillers and only one good song. This same-sounding album doesn't deserve to top the charts.

    The Mumford and Sons we knew and loved from earlier this decade is gone. The band is now stadium pop, with all it's cringe. So long Mumford. I guess I'll continue to listen to Sigh No More and Babel, and wish the next album they release returns to their roots.

    If this was th debut album of any other group, that group would never be heard from again. The whole is smaller than the sum of the parts here. Each song on its own is pleasant, if not memorable. As a 1 hour listening experience Mumford and Sons leaves the listener totally empty with songs lacking originality with the sole purpose of sounding “deep”, dark and pretty.

The only remaining connection to the first. Albums are the harmonies. Otherwise, one of the best albums to listen to while watching paint dry!… Expand

    Delta provides Mumford & Sons a wide range of inventive expressions, allowing them to stay true to their essence: blending the rustic quality of their past with a more majestic approach that underscores the heavier themes of the record. [30 Nov 2018, p.49]

    Delta reveals layers few would have thought they had. Often though, these moments of interest get flattened by a wave of arena-ready bombast. [Jan 2019, p.108]

    An album in which he and his reformed jug-band compatriots paradoxically reach for a musical approach both more complex and more approachable, instead landing squarely in the realm of mediocrity.
