    Folky stand-outs like Monochrome cast a warm glow, and Carry On concludes with the expertly poignant wordplay and emotive refrain which will surely have Anglo-American audiences weeping. Five albums in, the Mumfords will, indeed, carry on.

    There is a maturity to this album, however it is still uplifting and fun, to an extent. However, maturity can only take a band so far so we are hesitant to give them credit simply for ageing (and learning while doing so, of course). What we will say is that the brilliance of ‘Rushmere’ comes from the Mumford & Son’s sheer talent and hard work.

    The LP includes the singles "Malibu," "Caroline," and the propulsive, boot-stomping title cut.

    Without Marshall, they're less overtly folk-based and on the stand-out Caroline, they're as rewarding as David Gray at his most up-tempo, while Madison Cunningham brings a feminine touch to Blood On The Page. [May 2025, p.87]

    No wheels have been reinvented on Rushmere. But it’s a solidly crafted and comforting addition to the band's earthy, fraternal oeuvre.

    It's relentless, formulaic and irritating - and although things improve hugely when they drop the bombast on later tracks such as "where It Belongs", "Blood On The Page" and the gorgeous "Carry On", by then it's almost too late. [May 2025, p.33]

    There’s a distinct back-to-basics feel to the album, the drearily unappealing (relative) experimentalism of 2018’s Delta ditched in favour of the grating folk hoedowns that first made their name or utterly insipid balladry.
