Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More

I hope that music continues to evolve in this way and that people start loving this over some of the mainstream rubbish that comes on the radio. So yes, awesome review, awesome album.

THAT makes any music ten times better!! At least I think I would like that feeling if my roots were not holding me to the ground.

What are you guys on about? I just went to their website and clicked on the first two tour dates and the tickets prices are between $35-40 without service charges. I'm guessing it's scalpers that buy them, then sell them at ridiculously high prices.

On that note, this band is way too played.

Of course they're overplayed...the problem is with our stupid media, not with the band. It's the same with the news, the radio, the tabloids. Repeat every stupid detail and worthless song a thousand times until people start to believe it's important or significant and repeat every good song and major news event until we become desensitized and annoyed.

My point is, it's pointless to try and evaluate music based on how often it is played on the radio or MTV or what have you. Personally I love the band, if only because they're bringing some long absent sounds and mixing them with some great, modern lyrics. Anyone who can take a banjo and make it popular has got to be good.

I like them. New, fresh sound and feel.

Good write up!

This is mainstream rubbish played on the radio. How to write a Mumford and Sons song? Take some uninspired lyrics (Love that will not betray you, dismay or enslave you, It will set you free), play them over some awful nano riffs designed to sound folky and appeal to the most undiscerning majority and top it off with some appallingly bad, faux emotional singing (I really ****ed it up this time, didn't I my deeeeear).
