I'm serious. I listened to their debut a few times through and I can't even distinguish the songs.

I know em' all by heart, because they're each fairly unique. I will go as far as to say that the songs are all pretty much structured the same, but the sound of each song is completely different. Winter Winds sounds not a thing like Thistle & Weeds, nor does Awake my Soul sound anything like Timshel. I beg you listen to the album again, it's a masterpiece, one of my favorite albums of 2009/2010 (this is debatable).

I just listened to this band on Saturday and the only songs I have heard have been "The Cave" and "Little Lion Man" and can't stop listening to them. They are just awesome, nuff said.

I can understand this to a small degree. In particular the banjo rhythms are pretty much identical in most songs, which is really the only thing that bugs me about this band. Otherwise, I think they're fantastic.

I like them too, but I agree that their songs are very, very samey.

The songs have a lot of structural similarities, sure. It's very simple music, but it's so effective.

KevShmev · « **Reply #42 on:** August 23, 2011, 12:17:07 PM »

I can see someone saying their stuff is a bit samey, but like Fleet Foxes, they have such a distinct sound and style, that a lot of their stuff is bound to sound fairly similar. Sigh No More is still a fine album, regardless.

Scooterfruit · « **Reply #43 on:** August 23, 2011, 04:13:08 PM »

Must have listened to Sigh No More about 1000 times.

Love this band.

Fabulous song!

The best song is Timshel.

"And you have your choices, and these are what make man great, his ladder to the stars"

Every song sounds the same from this band...

Yeah a lot of their songs sound pretty similar but I love them

It's a really awesome song. Very standard Mumford, but still lovable anyways. The album is going to be awesome.

ariich · « **Reply #48 on:** August 10, 2012, 12:33:22 AM »

Yeah the new song is really nice, very unsurprising but then it's only their second album so really I'm expecting just more of the same. Looking forward to it!

KevShmev · « **Reply #49 on:** August 10, 2012, 12:38:11 PM »

Definitely more of the same, but an enjoyable little tune.

kirksnosehair · « **Reply #50 on:** August 10, 2012, 01:52:23 PM »

Heh, I listened to this band for two and a half hours while getting my tattoo on Wednesday. Wasn't bad, but wasn't anything I'd rush out to buy either.

Ryzee · « **Reply #51 on:** August 10, 2012, 03:12:10 PM »

They're a cool little band, they have their style and they do it well. I'm definitely looking forward to the new record.

antigoon · « **Reply #52 on:** August 10, 2012, 03:25:05 PM »

Oh fuck yeah. Had no idea about this.

lordxizor · « **Reply #53 on:** August 10, 2012, 07:10:40 PM »

Cool! I like their first album a lot. Get's a little waney after a while though so hopefully they mix it up a bit.

I haven't checked out the single. I think I may wait until the album is released. As many others have said, they do produce songs that are quite similar structurally, but they are all pretty good. The highlight for me is the lyrics.

exactly what my wife says about Dream Theater.

ALBUM IS SO GOOD AHHHHHHHHHHH <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

senecadawg2 · « **Reply #58 on:** September 19, 2012, 07:57:58 PM »

Not out in America yet, until the 25th if I'm correct. I'm looking forward to it, although I didn't enjoy the single as much as any of the tracks off the debut.

Heretic · « **Reply #59 on:** September 19, 2012, 09:14:57 PM »

Don't worry it's nowhere near the best song.

Below My Feet might possibly be one of the best songs they've ever done.

ariich · « **Reply #60 on:** September 30, 2012, 04:46:12 AM »

Love the new album, more of the same really, but a bit more consistent in quality, which is pretty much the perfect approach to making a second album!
