"Everything about this band irritates me. That includes their faux "organic family greengrocers" name, the shameless plundering of Shakespeare quotes, Marcus Mumford's pathetic hangdog vocal delivery, the faux hand-me-down caps and waistcoats look, the use of the word "heart" in every other line, their piss-poor attempt at English folk rock, and as for that sodding banjo...
But the worst thing about them is for the whole of 2011/12, I couldn't escape them. They were on the radio, the TV, in the pub, in my friends' and family's car stereos, and even butted in on every damn youtube video I tried to watch. They were EVERYWHERE. Mumford and Sons are the musical equivalent of McDonalds - massively naff, totally disingenuous, nutritionally void, puzzlingly popular and irritatingly ubiquitous."

"Not gay. Not the worst thing ever. Let's put this album in perspective. It's overhyped and unoriginal. Kinda like pop-rock with a banjo."

As you can see from the comments above, this is an album and a band that it's somehow cool to hate. Don't believe the music critic wannabe comments. There is nothing wrong with this album, or this band.
If it IS pop rock with a banjo...someone tell me what's so unoriginal about that? Would folks prefer something truly original for a pop band...like maybe manufactured beats and autotune with plastic Linda Perry lyrics? _________________ I'm leaning on the threshold
