Boring Songwriting: The Album

There's nothing offensive here. Some very catchy tunes. Nice album. Bought it in the back of them supporting Tom pretty at Hyde Park a couple of months before he passed away. They were very good.

Pleasant. In other areas very pleasant.

Favoritas: Ho Hey, Stubborn Love, Dead Sea

Well-written and catchy. Not everything needs to be innovative to be good. I guess it's the association with pop, but I think pop as a genre in general is too often written off.

Flowers in Your Hair and Stubborn Love are my favorites.

A couple years ago, a friend asked me to explain the appeal of "Ho Hey," the lead single from this album. What I said--and it makes more sense to me now more than ever--is that people are desperate for a sense of connection, a sense of belonging, a sense of community. They want to sing together. Which is why they're especially drawn to the catchy chorus, with the lines, "I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart." The rest of the songs don't quite hit the same Colorado folksy peak, but "Dead Sea" is pretty great, too.

Kind like a less annoying Mumford and Sons, but nothing really new for the whole genre

The Lumineers are lacking in originality/innovation, but they still manage to make a perfectly listenable album.

It's one of these bands where I start to listen to the album and after the first track my minds starts wandering around and I think about important things (what can I do this weekend? Did I turn out the light in the bathroom? When do I have to clean up the kitchen?) and then the CD is over and I have no idea about the music. I can no concentrate on this music. Even though generally I like the style. I don't know why...

Decent enough album.
