Hey now. I didn't say this. You just posted in a thread about how mainstream popular Mumford is saying you should listen to the album. It kinda came off like you said that because the album is doing so well, you should check it out.

And you've heard nothing but good things? Did you read the review on here for it? It's probably the most truthful one out there.

Also, I love folk/whatever-they-are but I'm not gonna check this out because I know all the singles from their last album and I hated them.

so wait, they're popular now? allright, let's hate them! When the first album was released, I heard/read only good things on AP. Now that they've found success with their second, the haters come out.

This is music, no one can force you to like a band. But please, don't come in here acting like only your opinion is the right one. I like this album alot, but I sure aint gonna tell the hater's that they "just dont get it."

Well, I say good for them.

I know what you mean. I want to like it more but Babel is just okay for me

This album and band are great. It isn't the best album, obviously, but it's good. Be happy some good music is dominating the charts for once. Sorry it's not Brand New. Ridiculous.

Except no one realized they were listening to 6 different songs.

isn't that a bad thing? to release all 6 songs in a week???

don't you usually want to spread them out to increase the longevity of your album?

How has like... Katy Perry not ever done this? Didn't she have the most number one hits off of any album ever?

"Most Hot 100 Hits In A Week By A Band Since The Beatles"

That's how.

All the songs weren't thrown out there as radio singles at the same time (there's only one true single released so far "I Will Wait")it's like 6 of the first tracks on the album that are being purchased a whole lot & getting some spins and whatnot.

Good for them. I've been enjoying this album a lot and it's nice to see an artist with some lyrical depth be so successful.

Completely with you on this one. The only songs I really listen to are Babel, I Will Wait, and The Boxer.

i love this album, and i really don't think it sounds the same as sigh no more other than having acoustic guitars, kick drum, banjo, and lots of harmonies. there's a different energy to this album i thought. the bonus tracks are all very awesome as well, so yeah, i love it

you can't actually believe people like this more than taylor swift can you? were talking about the biggest artists in the world not doing this, and for me to actually believe this isn't staged or a breakdown in the system is just crazy.
