Critic Reviews
Show All-
Consequence of Sound
A few dull stretches, sure, but mostly The Lumineers is unassuming fun.
-
Digital Spy
[The Lumineers] still got plenty more to get off their chest. Fortunately, this charming debut should see that they can do just that.
-
Rolling Stone
The debut from this Colorado crew basically argues that a bunch of Americans can lead slowly-accelerating lovelorn singalongs just as well as UK yankophile Marcus Mumford.
-
SYFFAL
The Lumineers is about as perfect an album as you can find. It radiates life and all that is wondrous about being alive. It is truly a life affirming experience.
-
The Guardian
There’s nimble playing and harmonizing from this popular trio, but their leading man has surprisingly little charisma.
-
Paste Magazine
The Lumineers’ debut record is instantly gratifying—and not in the hasty, shallow way often found in pre-fab pop songs either.
-
Bearded Gentlemen
Once in a blue moon you stumble upon an album that just blows you away, one that pulls you in right from the very first song and doesn’t let go until the final lingering note of the last song.
-
Culture Fly
This is a fantastic debut album, one of the best released this year and it’s sure to gain the band many more fans around the world.

NZ Herald
It's all great fun, and one can only imagine it would be even more magical live.
-
Mimbba
With its lighthearted background music and thoughtful lyrics, I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for fold music that still has a modern edge.
-
Hear Ya
This is as complete and rich as any debut I’ve heard in years.
-
KKBOX
[The Lumineers] managed to reach No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with a hit single that contains little more than an acoustic guitar, a mandolin, and a foot-stomping declaration of love.
-
Bowery Boogie
Ultimately, the album is hopeful – let’s hope there’s more where that came from.
-
Evolution of a fan
Check out their new album, and jump on this bandwagon while there is still room. Seats are sure to fill up quickly.
-
San Diego Troubadour
Overall, The Lumineers have created a style that is amicably heartsick and hopeful, subtle and soulful.
-
Wavemaker Magazine
The Lumineers have soul and you’ll find their debut album glowing with it.
-
Uncut
The Lumineers create primal, pounding folk music which lead singer Wesley Schulz has likened to the sound of a “bunch of sailors on a ship, arm-in-arm”
-
Aaron Davis Music
The songs are honest, sassy even; and stripped down to predominantly acoustic guitar, cello, subtle drums/percussion, and voices.
