Can't get enough of this band at the moment. Anyone else enjoying they're debut album Sigh no More?
Just had a quick skim through it and all I can say is - have you ever heard of Flogging Molly?
Mumfords & Sons seem to be a watered down version.
What album of theirs do you recommend?
No disrespect dmpoole, but I hardly seem to see you say anything nice about the 'new' bands recently; it always seems to be "It was done better by xyz." etc. It'd be nice just to see you say "Yeah, I like them."
I think you've got the wrong person and you will have to give me some sources.
I'm the old one who actually follows the new bands in favour of the old ones.
I try to keep up but in this case all I've said is they are a watered down Flogging Molly which isn't putting them down.
In fact, it's praising them.
No, it's definitely you. I'm pretty sure you did basically the same thing about Florence and the Machine in that she was a watered down version of some banshee. Yes, it was you because it was about one of your daughters iirc. That's where that comment is coming from. I'm not saying you're stuck in the past, but rather your comments of late are alluding to that.
I never said you were putting them down, but you didn't say anything 'good' about them either, you simply commented on that they sounded like a watered-down version of someone else, which objectively is a negative statement even if the intent was not. It just seems like it's a little underhanded praise really. I mean, no-one likes to be effectively called second-best or a little late to the party.
