The front cover of the album features the band at the center in a non-musical setting. The band is in the foreground and center of the image and there is a mass of things going on in the background. The image is both full in the background but in the foreground very clear and focused on the bad. The image is also seemingly unfiltered, it may have been photo-shopped but there have been no significant or obvious changes to the image, like colour change or image manipulation. Not all of the artists are looking towards the camera, the picture of the band seems very natural, like they are in the middle of conversation.
The font type is all caps and unconnected which makes the album title and artist name very clear, like the band on the cover, the font is also centered on the album. It is in a space where nothing is happening in the picture, this makes it stand out and does not clutter the entire cover. The font is black which is uniform and in keeping with the Mumford and Sons style.
The font on the back of the cover is the same as the font used on the front. Unlike other albums the song names are not written in a bullet point list form nut in a kind of brick wall layout, similar to the image they are layered over. Unlike the font on the front of the album, the font on the back is white. This may just be to stand out of the dark colours in the picture, this juxtaposes the image nicely and creates a stark image.
The image on the back is not at all linked to the front image, it is darker and unrelated. It is an image that allows to focus on the song names and not the actual picture. It is artistic and aesthetically pleasing as well as non-specific enough to have the main focus be the words.
