mentioned it over in the Reading section, but christ does this sound like Coldplay / other generic MOR bands. at least with the banjos you could tell it was Mumfords - now it could be absolutely anybody

At least the banjos meant they were something slightly different. This just sounds like everything else out there at the moment. Boring.

edit: what FF said..

I actually don't mind that, at least they've tried something different, sounds better for getting rid of the banjo, think the album coming might not be too bad now

"Marcus?"

"Yes Country Winston?"

"People are saying we have no credibility? That's not true, is it? Say it isn't true."

"Hm, I don't think so, Country Winston. But let's make sure, we'll just snaffle the sound of a more credible band for our next record."

"Excellent! Who? U2? Are they credible?"

"Um, I have no idea. I mean they're massive, so they must be!"

"Let's do it!"

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Coldplay may be marmite but I think we can all agree we don't need any inferior copycat versions. If the rest of the album is like that then the Mumfords should go sit in a dark room with the other guilty parties Kodaline and Imagine Dragons and have a long hard think about life.

I've never heard a band as desperate to have their songs used in Apple adverts as Imagine Dragons.

Coldplay weren't the first to come up with that typical stadium rock sound though. Don't even think U2 were.

"Marcus, old sport?"

"Yes Country Winston, my dear fellow?"

"The bloody proles are saying we have no credibility? That's not true, is it? Say it isn't true."

"Blimey, I don't think so, Country Winston, dearest chap. But let's make jolly well sure, we'll just snaffle the sound of a more credible band for our next record, eh what?."

"Splendid! Who? U2? Are they credible?"

"Gosh, I have no idea, dear boy. I mean they're jolly massive, so they must be!"

"Rather!"

Edited it for you Winslow, this is how it actually went.

I'm pretty sure The Stones were the first, they decided they'd had enough of making the best music ever and turned their hand to making some of the worst.

[Badlands]

Just stuck Odessey and Oracle on, I forgot how melodic this album is. Where you reckon, Acoustic headliner?

[Winslow Leach]

Edited it for you Winslow, this is how it actually went.

Ah, yes, thanks for that. I was more concerned with getting across the fact that one of their members is called Country Winston, apparently unironically.

Ha! I thought you'd invented the most twattish name you could think of, unbelievable. I'm beginning to think they're actually a Giles Wembley-Hogg type thing and it's gone over everybody's head. Like how Al Murray's audiences are always 99% people who are the butt of the joke, going "WHEYYYYYYY" whenever he says something sexist or racist.

The Zombies are TBC... made up!

Early afternoon on the Pyramid with the sun shining... Perfect.

[Badlands]

Dodgy definitely won't be the headliners

No its true.

Scruffy's on a roll....

Nope, and as if that wasn't enough, he's the one with the banjo.

I think he just goes by c**ty Winston now.

[Winslow Leach]

I think he just goes by c**ty Winston now.

Which one is he? I can't even tell them apart. It's not the one on the right, that's clearly Richard Herring.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Keep thinking the one second from the left in that picture is Brandon Flowers.

[Winslow Leach]

Just reading some of the comments from the Mumfords video. Some amazing nuggets there:

I can not even contain my disappointment. Mumford and Sons was such a breath of fresh air in this new mainstream world of music

Wha... what? What happened? Where are the deep lyrics?

HOLY SHIT YES!!!!!!! this is just as lyrically and musically sound than they have ever been. Dear hipster indie bands, prepare to be shat on.

I AM MORE EXCITED FOR THIS ALBUM THAN I WAS THE FIRST TIME I EVER PUT MY PENIS INSIDE A GIRL

Hey. If you're into comments on how terrible bands have gotten even more terrible then look no further.

might as well be - Chris Martin, Brandon Flowers, Marcus Mumford, that guy from Imagine Dragons. THE. GREATEST. SUPERGROUP. EVER.

Would you just say "had sex" if that's what you meant? I'm a bit freaked out by the idea that he put his penis inside a girl, but in a way that we don't have a convenient name for yet. Was is flaccid or erect? Which orifice? Was she aware? Was she consenting? Mumford & Sons fans are just fundamentally fucked up as human beings.

They didn't really call a song She Keeps Me Up, did they? Oh christ, I bet they explained that joke to everyone they met.

[Woffy]

Did you manage to get to the start of it?

Cheeky AND low, Scruffy!!!
