OCMS seems much looser and more spontaneous. As with all music, it's a matter of taste (duh).

They headlined one night at Lollapalooza, and the Tribune said that half the audience left in the middle of the set.

The big question who is the dad in the band?

Re: Mumford & Sons
It's true. I've never seen that side of the field as crowded as it was that day between The Lumineers and Mumford playing. There was no way I was sticking around for that. I left after seeing The National, who was incredible.But I know people who stayed and said half of the people were either talking or cleared out after hearing singles.

Re: Mumford & Sons
So, not only did I start a thread 5 years ago praising Mumford & Sons, but I actually compared them favorably to The Pogues? Jesus. Sorry, everyone.

Re: Mumford & Sons
I dig there new album. Kinda funny reading some of the recent comments of all the hate for them then going and reading the first page of comments and have the same people say how much they enjoy them. I still love there music and the new album is great.

I don't understand the hate either. I can't imagine how sophisticated anyone here's music stylings could possibly be. You're posting on an almost defunct website for DVD connoisseurs for god's sake.

Re: Mumford & Sons
The change in sound is understandable considering how many other bands/artists have copied it since thier intiall success. You can't go 10 minutes of listening to radio these days without hearing it. To put out a record now in that same style would be redundant, as it's already getting pretty tiresome.
As for Mumford's new album, it kind of reminds me when Kings Of Leon similarly changed thier sound on thier fourth album, Only By Night. Same more commercial, arena rock styled sound, in the vein of U2 and Coldplay. The songs are decent enough, but once you've taken out the folkier aspect of the first two albums, there's really nothing much to set them apart from the previously mentioned bands.

I was a big fan of their first two albums but this album smacks of watering down their music for long-term mainstream acceptability. I dropped Coldplay as one of my favorite bands along the way when they decided to adopt that approach.
