Wilder Mind

In September 2013, following the end of the world tour in support of their second album Babel, Mumford & Sons began what they thought would be a lengthy break, but found themselves back at work only five months later.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/mumford-sons-talk-going-electric-on-new-album-wilder-mind-20150302|title=Mumford & Sons Talk Going Electric on New Album 'Wilder Mind'|magazine=Rolling Stone}} After a couple of days in London at Dwane's studio, the band headed back to Brooklyn to write and demo tracks at the garage studio owned by The National’s Aaron Dessner, where the band had spent time recording demos in the months leading up to the end of the Babel tour.{{cite web|url=http://www.mumfordandsons.com/band/|title=The Band – Mumford & Sons|work=Mumford & Sons}}

Lovett and Marshall were living in New York, with Mumford & Dwane still based in England, so for the next eight months, the band split their writing sessions between Dessner's New York garage and London's Eastcote Studios, where their debut album, Sigh No More had been recorded. The band then recorded Wilder Mind at AIR Studios in London with producer James Ford, who also traded off drumming duties with Mumford.

Larry Fitzmaurice of Pitchfork described Wilder Mind as "clean, streamlined, and positively Coldplay-esque rock music".{{Cite web|url= https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/mumford-and-sons-delta/amp/|title=Mumford & Sons - Delta|work=Pitchfork|first=Larry|last=Fitzmaurice|date=November 20, 2018|accessdate=February 7, 2023|quote=2015’s Wilder Mind ditched the washboard percussion and loud stomping for clean, streamlined, and positively Coldplay-esque rock music…}} Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone dubbed the album "an indie-rock-steeped affair".{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-album-reviews/review-mumford-and-sons-epic-bummer-delta-757483/amp/|title=Review: Mumford and Sons' Epic Bummer 'Delta'|magazine=Rolling Stone|first=Jon|last=Dolan|accessdate=February 7, 2023|date=November 16, 2018}} Jordan Bassett of NME described the album as "electric guitar-led arena rock".{{cite web|date=November 23, 2018|title= The Big Read – Mumford And Sons: "We've thought a lot about mortality this year"|url=https://www.nme.com/big-reads/the-nme-big-read-mumford-and-sons-2411839|work=NME|accessdate=February 7, 2023|first=Jordan|last=Bassett|quote= Their previous record, 2015’s ‘Wilder Mind’, saw them ditch the banjos that made them famous, instead heading towards expansive, electric guitar-led arena rock.}}

Wilder Mind was released to a mixed critical reception. At review aggregator Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional critics, the album received an average score of 54 based on 29 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

In a five-star review, Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph hailed the album as a "triumph" and wrote that Marcus Mumford "has never sounded better than on this overwhelmingly tense and bittersweet album".{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/cdreviews/11558847/Mumford-Sons-Wilder-Mind-review.html |title=Mumford & Sons, Wilder Mind, review: 'a triumph' |work=The Daily Telegraph |date=5 May 2015 |access-date=7 May 2015 |last=McCormick |first=Neil}} Andy Gill of The Independent felt that the band's musical transition towards more guitar-oriented instrumentation had been successful, singling out the album's "surging electric guitar riffs with synth and organ textures" for praise.

Leonie Cooper of NME was also positive, noting Aaron Dessner's large influence on the album's production and concluding: "Still missing the banjos? Didn’t think so". Garrett Kamps of Billboard stated that "not only does Wilder Mind reintroduce the band members as rock gods worthy of the title, it does so without changing what fans cherished most about them in the first place: their songwriting, their sentiment, their gusto."{{cite magazine |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/review/6553723/mumford-sons-wilder-mind-review |title=Album Review: Mumford & Sons Rock Out But Keep Their Sentiment Intact on 'Wilder Mind' |magazine=Billboard |date=1 May 2015 |access-date=13 November 2015 |last=Kemps |first=Garrett}} For Rolling Stone, Jon Dolan wrote that "the sentiment is Springsteen, the guitars are straight-up Strokes, and even if it's not going to work out for the relationship in this song, the music itself bristles with self-assurance."

In a mixed assessment, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic felt that in their attempt to break away from their vintage folk leanings, the band now "seems interchangeable with any number of blandly attractive AAA rockers" and wrote that "the odd thing about Wilder Mind is now that everybody else sounds like Mumford & Sons, Mumford & Sons decide to sound like everybody else." While noting that "brief flashes of newfound power and sophistication hint at a potentially fruitful plugged-in future for Mumford & Sons", James Rainis of Slant Magazine felt that the album as a whole was unremarkable, criticising its "compositional predictability" and "tired lyrical sentiments".{{cite web |url=https://www.slantmagazine.com/music/review/mumford-sons-wilder-mind |title=Mumford & Sons: Wilder Mind |work=Slant Magazine |date=4 May 2015 |access-date=6 May 2015 |last=Rainis |first=James}}

Pitchfork{{'}}s Maud Deitch called Wilder Mind "a 'rock' record in the least interesting sense of that word—a pastiche of the genre's most common elements, from big percussion, electric guitars, and warm synths, to poignant but ultimately surface-level lyrics". PopMatters{{'}}s Brice Ezell commented on how the band had "stripped away the artifice from their ostensible Americana aesthetic to reveal the boilerplate alt-rock that forms its core circuitry".{{cite web |url=https://www.popmatters.com/review/192895-mumford-sons-wilder-mind/ |title=Mumford & Sons: Wilder Mind |work=PopMatters |date=6 May 2015 |access-date=6 May 2015 |last=Ezell |first=Brice}}

Wilder Mind debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, marking the band's second number one album in the United Kingdom. It sold 81,300 copies in its first week of release to become the second fastest-selling album of 2015.{{cite news|url=http://www.musicweek.com/businessanalysis/read/official-charts-analysis-mumford-sons-score-second-no-1-with-sales-of-81-351/061740|title=Official Charts Analysis: Mumford & Sons score second No.1 with sales of 81,351|last=Jones|first=Alan|date=11 May 2015|work=Music Week|access-date=22 December 2015|url-access=subscription }} The following week saw the album spend a second consecutive week at number one in the UK, becoming the first album to do so in 2015.{{cite news|url=http://www.musicweek.com/index.php/businessanalysis/read/official-charts-analysis-mumford-sons-wilder-mind-tops-album-chart-with-29-922-sales/061812|title=Official Charts Analysis: OMI's Cheerleader spends third week at No.1|last=Jones|first=Alan|date=18 May 2015|work=Music Week|publisher=Intent Media|access-date=22 December 2015}}
