Where as I reckon they are great. Who'd have thought - people like different music...

Been done to death now. The novelty has worn off for me hence listening to Anthrax - caught in a mosh on the headphones whilst the missus watches the Mummies

Believe it or not they're huge in N America.
But yeah, once you've heard a couple of their tracks you've heard 'em all. Soulful voice, bit of melody, getting louder, loud final third, banjo solo, the end.

Thanks for sharing.
Anything that can make it to Glasto is too mainstream for me TBH.

Me neither, they're are mediocre pop band bordering on rubbish!

Whatev's Darcy... I'm just surrendering wholeheartedly to the STW niche stereotype.
I've actually bought the Mumford & Son's album twice, why? Coz I lost my first copy and I like it.

They're ok. Not sure they'll get past 2 albums. Little Dragon were ok.

I don't like em, they're really boring and quite miserable.

If you had a teenager in the house who listens to JLS and other assorted conveyor belt pop you'd love Mumford and Sons.

I've Sat and listened to the whole set so far as any good critique should, ive seen them before and no doubt I'll see them again but as tom said quite succinctly they are a bit boring. Nicko summed up the whole musical production very well I thought! Armpit trump boy has now gone to bed so I'm looking forward to hearing the cave without the added acoustics !!

as exponents of diddly diddly music go, i quite like 'em.

I like them.
I think the problem with the footage of events like Glastonbury on TV is that the sound mix is great when you're knee deep in mud in front of a stage and a couple of huge stacks, but is terrible through a home system.Posted 11 months ago # -
they are brilliant, soulful and talented musicians and the mere fact that not everyone likes them makes me like them more.....

I D/L'ed Mumford and Sons after hearing them on teh radio and thinking I liked em.
Listened to the album and realised that in fact, they are absolutely shite.
Still, it could be worse - I could be watching Bono having virtual sex with his ego at Glasto..... Oh, hold on, I am, but at least I'm at home and not up to my armpits in shit and piss.
I used to love the Joshua Tree, but he's even ruined that for me tonight - pleb!

M&S would prob be far "better" if every tv producer in the land hadn't used them for trailers ALL THE BLOODY TIME

I likes em.

You have to respect them for repackaging Americana and selling it back to the Americans, they're making a killing.
It's the ultimate coals to Newcastle scenario.

Ditto, if you can count a 10yr old as a teenager....

Mumford and Sons much betterer than that supposed "headliners" whats on now.
Posted 11 months ago # -
Have to say I never put them in the Americana bracket - their popularity is on the back of the Fleet Foxes.
Call it what you will, it's Folk.

There was a band on at one of the local pubs recently. They were called 'Is it Folk'. Made me smile.

I find them samey and lightweight. Good music comes from adversity and they're posh public schoolboys who've been at the dressing up box. David Cameron likes them though.

well along with tsy's tounge in cheek comment, we're certainly getting all the music tryhard clichés in here
(they went to my school fwiw. guess it's a good job I didn't go into music)
