[uro cy]

Poor man's Bob dylan released an album?

FWIW the real Bob Dylan released an album a few weeks ago.

If you like the new Mumford & Sons album you might also like these guys.

God, I've been hooked on these guys since the beginning of summer.

Hell yes. I've had this in my car CD player (stop laughing) since June. Tremendous band.

Don't be ashamed. I listen to CDs in my car too. And I'm 21.

There are simply not enough badjectives to describe people who open threads with the sole purpose of knocking someone else's musical tastes...

And I do enjoy the new album. Do the vocals on this album seem a little more raspy to anyone else? It's not necessarily a bad thing, just different. I wonder if all the touring has taken its toll.

Awesome CD. Glad their sound stayed much the same as on Sigh No More. The new Avett Brothers CD was highly disappointing.

Completely agree. They are trying to rely on their melodies, but it comes out as soft-pop boredom.

I enjoy Mumford and Sons and like the new album, but it is really more of the same. Their sound has been imitated so much recently that the driving power of their songs loses its effect.

I don't see the Bob Dylan comparison at all.

I can see a bit more of raspyness in this album, but I kinda like it. One would think touring will take it's toll at some point. They've said that recording albums isn't even their favorite part and that they would tour until they were dead. Seems like a tiring system, hopefully it doesn't effect their sound too much. But still.. really awesome of them to think of the crowd.
I'm not sure how to compare this to Sigh No More. Maybe I need a bit more of a listen to Babel, but there are some awesome tracks on here. They've yet to make a song that I don't like.
But has anyone heard the version of Lover of the Light before this studio-album version? I kinda liked it better.

The new Band of Horses album is quite good also. And I haven't listened to Mumford & Sons extensively yet, but I don't understand the Dylan comparison at all.

[CLONECONES]

M&S and Bob Dylan played the grammys together.... they use folky instruments?


idk

They get lumped into the same genre - one that doesn't have very many artists with mainstream success - so for lack of a better comparison that's the standard they're held to. Obviously they're completely different so it's a little ridiculous.

Babel is good, just not "new"....Lover of the Light sounds like DMB, the others are comfortable and feel recognizable....I think the lyrics are where they really stand apart.

"Newgrass"

Trampled By Turtles will be as big as AB and Mumford very soon.

You're going to have to start playing a single of theirs 874 times a day if you want that to come true, Tarbox.

[Tarbox]

874 x 3:30 = 3059 or just under 51 hours. So your troll is mathematically impossible. HA!

TbT will be huge though.
