Mumford & Sons have a fan in classic rocker Alice Cooper, who says that, despite his previous criticisms, he thinks the band's latest album is a major improvement. Coop previously criticized the band as "wimpy rock." Now he's changing his mind.
"You hear the new album? It rocks!" Cooper told NME.
"Absolutely electric rock 'n' roll. They came up with a rock 'n' roll album and kinda proved me wrong."
Referring to his 2013 interview, Cooper adds that it's not him that has changed, but the band itself.
"I'm not taking anything back, because of the fact that when I heard them they were playing folk music. Now, I'm really impressed with them. That's the kind of band I'd go to see."
