Whoa, I didn't know anyone hated Mumford and Sons until coming into this thread. "godawful"?? They're just so tame... it's like hating plain bread. Where is all this anger coming from?

So awesome.

Ahh.. so funny how much hate bands accumulate once they become popular. This record is nowhere near as good as Sigh No More, but it's still good to see a real band doing so well on the charts.

What matters is the end result not the means taken to make the music.

christ this band is so repetitive. what the fuck

Really? I believe (with good reason) that they come across with complete sincerity.

Care to explain?

It just always seems to me like they're playing dress up whenever I've seen videos of their performances. Their image seems to be their biggest concern.

I don't know why people take it so personally when I say I can't stand this band. I have plenty of friends who absolutely love them and it's not like I'm planning on ending our friendships because they like Mumford & Sons and I can't stand them.

If you love this band, great. Nobody else's opinion should impact whether or not you enjoy something

Oh yeah that was it. Yeah I thought it was someone hotter. She's not much chop. But he's still batting above

Only listened to Babel once, but I was really digging it.

Care to enlighten us? What "genre" would you put them in?

What's a ''good'' type of band, in your opinion?

I don't actually believe they are the worst. We all remember Brokencyde. Read what I was quoting when I said that to see why I worded it that way
