Mumford & Son’s ‘Delta’: New sound, same sorrows
By Olivia Weinzapfel / November 28, 2018It might be different, but 'Delta' is nothing special or wildly unexpected from Mumford & Sons. It’s simply a work of offbeat mediocrity.

Overall, 'The Crimes of Grindelwald' is a jumbled mess that fails to build on the previous installment. While the film does show Grindelwald, the plot stumbles with drama completely unrelated to the villain. This, along with poorly edited visuals, creates a dull sense of imagination to any fan of the Harry Potter universe.
Welcome back to another episode of Animation A-Team. On this week's episode we are discussing the ever controversial breakup between Funimation and Crunchyroll. What caused this dynamic duo to part ways and why? Join us on this week's episode of Animation A-Team to hear our thoughts on the matter.

No matter if you are looking for a trip down nostalgia lane or introducing a younger generation to the world of Spyro, 'Reignited Trilogy' is a solid remaster of the classics. Even though lackluster gameplay and rushed design choices plague the experience from the start, it still comes off as enjoyable for both veterans and novices. Hopefully this eternal flame can find space to roar once again.
Overall, "Moody Jazz’s Counter Attack" was a decent episode filled with backstory and odd stand moves that definitely left the viewer in awe, but its flaws definitely got in the way of the show’s overall plot this time and left more to be desired.
‘Elastic Days’ is a moody, soft, and introspective album. The instrumentation helps put the listener into the world that the lyrics paint. The guitar solos are crisp and effective in bringing out the emotion of the lyrics. The contributors to the record add enough extra layers to certain songs to help expand the album’s sound. Near the end of the album, the music tires out and kept me wanting something different in sound.
'Origins' sounds like a car crash involving quite a lot of albums. Unfortunately, none of those albums happen to be good ones. Whether it is the flaccid, lifeless electro-pop and EDM, the overblown radio rock destined to plague arenas across the world, or the departures from those two sounds that should’ve been left on the cutting room floor, all the directions that Imagine Dragons attempt to go in lead to dead ends. Based on the consistently decreasing quality of their records, seeing how it could possibly get worse is the one thing worth anticipating for their future material.
On this week's episode we are discussing the reboot of Shrek. Is this a blessing in disguise or God's way of punishing us? Why is there a Shrek reboot and what will it bring to the table for the generation that loves the Shrek series? Join us on this week's conversation over Shrek on Input 2.
If you’re a fan of the show’s traditionally deep scandals and the charismatically manipulative lead role, I would advise sitting this one out.
Unlike most horror remakes, Luca Guadagnino’s 'Suspiria' takes the premise of the original and creates its own identity with it.
‘Nutcracker and the Four Realms’ is the very embodiment of a soulless cash grab.
‘Find Polpo’s Fortune’ is a great introduction to the part’s remaining cast, but the episode itself is somewhat uneventful.
I am a mild-mannered person. It takes a lot to steam my vegetables. I am not one to complain, but I believe that a line has been crossed and when these things come up in life you can defend your beliefs or be a coward. And Mom didn’t raise a coward.
‘Post-Apocalypto’ is a silly but hilarious album. The instrumentals have an excellent flow and include ferocious vocal performance from Black, Gass, and Grohl, but the end of the album falls flat with a lack of context and music. However, it is still a Tenacious D album and holds true to their rock/metal sound and outrageous lyrics creating a very funny, and enjoyable experience.
‘Red Dead Redemption II’ is nothing short of excellent. Arthur Morgan and the members of the Van Der Linde gang are engaging characters to follow. The amount of detail placed into every aspect of the game is nothing short of inspiring. And the gameplay is fun and action packed, making one feel like they’re in a western movie. It marks another hit from Rockstar Games.
‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ is a strong biopic that will appeal to fans of Queen and Freddie Mercury, despite some major flaws in pacing and editing. If anything, the film is worth viewing for Rami Malek’s performance alone and is enjoyable for those interested in seeing the human side of the legendary Freddie Mercury.
‘The Quiet Man’ is a trainwreck of a video game, where everything that can go wrong goes wildly wrong. It’s not fun to play, it’s not fun to watch, and it’s certainly not fun to complete in its entirety.
I remember it like it was yesterday. May 25, 2017. It was game day.
Even with a few noticeable slip ups, Ballads 1 is solid. Joji does not hold back in his attempt to make the audience feel different about their life just by hearing someone else sing what they have gone through for a long time.
