Mumford and Sons won a Grammy

[Seven Severn]

As the spouse said this morning, "It'll look really great next to their cotton gin."

 

ETA: He just came out and said, "Their next tour will be sponsored by sasparilla!" The jokes just write themselves, apparently.

I hate Mumford & Sons so intensely that I should probably seek therapy. I don't know what it is! I just hear one of their tunes and just, like, my entire brain lights up with HATERISM :P

It's kind of bothersome because they're pretty generic really and by no means should inspire such feelings, but they dooooo.

"babel" is such a half assed album. the only good songs are the singles and then they just lazily filled the rest.

And there's a fundie light connection - the lead guy is the son of the leaders of the Vinyard churches in Scotland and England.

I hate them so much & I hate that other band with the name starting with L.

In fact I hate all of this nouveaux-overly sentimental-folk. Although I was born in 1984, I can say that folk music made after 1975 is rubbish (don't try to change my mind, it will not work) Because folk music is supposed to be acoustic & raw, not heavily produced like the aforementioned trash.

[Shirley MacLaine]

Well, I completely disagree about folk music made after 1975 necessarily being awful, BUT I SO AGREE WITH THIS:

In fact I hate all of this nouveaux-overly sentimental-folk.

Right? It's fucking gross. It's... lurid. Get your OTT fake emoting off of me.

Don't they share it with Old Crow Medicine Show though for Best Long Video for that film they made?

[So Says I]

I honestly haven't heard Babel yet, but I loved Sigh No More. The Cave is definitely my favorite M&S song (yeah, the big single, I'm so predictible, lol). I dig the folksy/bluegrass feel to their music. Is Babel a really inferior album?
