Amigo The Devil

Everything Is Fine

The album Mumford and Sons would make if they suffered a deep, personal tragedy.

This album’s If I’m Crazy portrays the often overlooked, torturous side of love, a pain clearly portrayed through the devil’s voice. First Day Of The End of My Life exhibits but one example of the astonishingly dark lyrics: ‘I took years to find a meaningful and peaceful place to die,’ while Preacher Feature combines Leonard Cohen’s poetry with Johnny Cash’s southern twang, all with a decent portion of lost hope.

The acoustic, southern gothic style doesn’t showcase Brad Wilk’s drumming; Ross Robinson’s excellent production emphasises the ardent misery of the entire record. If you’ve lost your keys or missed the bus, don’t listen to it. If everything you love is suddenly consumed by blazing fire and destruction, then be my guest.
