Who gives a shit about the genre, the influences, the authenticity of their roots? They're just making some fucking music, and all that matters is that it sounds good and feels good.
FUN FACT: Battery Kinzie is a concrete Endicott Period Battery located on Fort Worden, Jefferson County, Washington. Named in G.O. 245, 13 Dec 1909, for Brigadier General David Hunter Kinzie, a U.S. Civil War veteran who died in 1904. The Battery was begun in Jun 1908, completed in 1910 and transfered to the Coastal Artillery for use 10 Jan 1912 at a total cost of $207,832.50. The guns were dismounted in 1944 toward the end of World War II.
Please... just enjoy music, no matter what, no one cares if you like or dislike Mumford & Sons, I love both FF and M&S, but you don't care, because you shouldn't.
Moral of the story; Just enjoy whatever you freaking want to.
(Also this song is so crazy good I can barely believe it)
Not sure how many of you listen to j. tillman's solo work (drummer/singer of this great band) but I did a cover of one of his songs, if anyone has nothing better to do, and that's really the only reason you should waste your time watching it, you might could give it a view and let me know what you think. Thanks a lot!
i saw both bands at glastonbury this year, fleet foxes on before mumfords...as the fleets were going off the stage mumford said that they ''were the best band in the world..''.what an accolade..both were equally brilliant .M and sons got the crowd going were fleets more sedate, melodious.. and less manic...i couldnt chose between them and why should i, both are allowed to be fantastic,,imo
@baggiebev I was at Glasto and saw these two bands this year, too! Both were magnificent. Your assessment of the two is perfect -- Fleet Foxes is very chill, while Mumford & Sons are very energetic. Combined as they were, it was heaven.
Check this cover out, it's awesome. It's my friend's cover, and I'm absolutely amazed by his talent. Please go listen to it, you won't regret it. And no, I'm not doing this on his behalf :)

Mumford and Sons are known for their literary lyrics while Fleet Foxes are known for their harmony. If anything Mumford should be compared to DMB while Fleet Foxes compared to MMJ since they are more similar.
However, each band has their own style. The only bands that should be compared to one another is the crap on the radio since it literally all sounds the same.
@mshartz5 Who the hell is DMB? Do you mean Dave Matthews Band? I tried to listen to one of their songs but became violently ill. Is there another DMB out there I'm missing?
Well music is subjective, so you can like it or not. I personally don't like their newer (2000+) stuff.
Either way, they are a very talented group combining sounds never heard before and have been doing so since '94. Who else mixes Jazz with Southern African sounds?
they did kind of remind me of mumford and sons at first but both bands are really different and shouldn't be compared. also, people can like both. i know i do.
saw these live at manchester on tuesday. OMG they were amazing best artist i have ever seen live. such beautiful music. i could listen to them forever.
regardless of the negativeness. Both bands are fantastic, however. Fleet Foxes came first. And thats how it is, no competition, just real talented bands doing their thing. Folk is the new Rock and Roll :-)
Mumford and Sons does not sound like a million hearts in sync, Mumford and Sons does not make me feel like I have been reborn, Mumford and Sons does not feel pure and natural and eternal and wonderful and vibrant like a tribe of Africans beating their drums and dancing and lauging. Fleet Foxes do. Full Stop.
@electrocuteanna Notice how you say how Fleet Foxes makes YOU feel? I mean, "full stop", really? Because some people may experience these things with M&Sons, or with any other artist. So.. Kind of a pointless argument, yeah?
just commenting to say I agree with you. People seriously need to stop hating. They don't have to crush other people's enjoyment of music just because they don't like it!
I've listened to mumford and sons, and honestly don't like their music. I also don't see why Fleet Foxes are compared to this band all the time. They do not have the same sound.
I love this album, particularly The Shrine/ An Argument. I don't really see why people are getting so into this Fleet Foxes/ Mumford and Sons debate. I never thought of comparing the two. Why do they even have to be compared?
@dsf429 Neither of them are truly folk though. Their just young white kids who pick up acoustic instrument and sell this image of "Men in old fashioned clothes with beards" You can't revive a musical genre that never left in the first place. Folk has always been around, it's just never been popular since the 60's. Folk is about chronicling you times, not oblique lyrics that relate to the woods and stereotypical folk shit. FF are still a good act though, but their not folk, their folk influenced.
@mise91 Because people feel the need to start up debates about how they both have similar style of music. In my opinion, there is not really a need to compare, I think of bands with same style as completely different bands and feel.. Just listen to the band and enjoy the talent in the harmonies and how they make the music flow throughout the album. You can take what you want from a band and I think everybody seems to like that comparison
@Steoandnoodles1 Hey, it's fine with me if you don't like Mumford & Sons, but I don't like your narrow-mindedness. The world has become much smaller now, musicians are all influenced by the wide variety of music from all over the world. so it's quiet normal for artists to mix up the things they like. Again: music's not a competition, quit comparing and pidgeonholing. Tastes ARE relative. If you don't like M&S, don't listen to them so we don't have to hear you whine. On topic: this song is great!
@Steoandnoodles1 Thanks for letting me know, I really miss the Jools Holland show, he always gets the best bands, I'll try and find it online somehow. Some great songs on the new album.
I cringe when I hear people degrade mainstream listeners. Being under the radar doesn't make you anymore hip. I'll rock KiD CuDi in my car, take a shower listening to The Strokes, and fall asleep listening to Fleet Foxes. You anymore hip than me?
@clone104d Ahhh very true. just because its mainstream doesnt mean its shit. gotta have some diversity in your music. im a fan of cudi, fleet foxes and everything in between
Mumford & Sons make bluegrass popular again and Fleet Foxes make folkrock popular again. 2 music genres from America's music history have been lifted into this century by these bands. They deserve the respect of all of you for doing that alone. Don't compare them, music isn't a competition. Tastes are relative.
@daveanator Mumford and Sons is a mainstream band that has some folky aspects. This is why it appeals to mainstream music listeners(i.e. Lady Gaga and Katy Perry fans) as well as alternative music listeners. I don't understand the appeal behind them, just sayin'.
@michaelpietrobon I am sure there is a lot of music out there that was made strictly for the money, but I'd rather not slap that generalization on all pop musicians. A fair number of them, I find, make beautiful and emotionally powerful songs. Can we say that something isn't art if its creator thought of it as art? Needless to say, I'm relieved Fleet Foxes are not geared that way (or so Robin has stated) and that they make music for music's sake. One of many reasons why they rule so much. :)
@michaelpietrobon My point is that one can't, or rather shouldn't, completely disregard the value of something simply because of an arbitrary classification - like "pop art". Many who are now considered great artists or musicians were considered rubbish at first because they were before their time. There are surely gems hidden amongst the enormous library of pop music titles. History will ultimately decide.
@michaelpietrobon I'm with you all the way mate, Mumford and sons, even the fucking name is bullshit, it tricks people into thinking that they're some country folk living in their dads barn or something, probably never seen a field in their lives. Some people just dont have the ear for real music. Fucking Fleet Foxes are a real Fucking band. Cant stand them other phony cunts.
@daveanator well, too bands far apart, and Foxes been around longer than Mumford. Time will tell, but, unfair to apply this contest on two bands I love. I will say, Elbow > Fleet Foxes, in every way. Lyrically, instrumentally, experimentally etc.
they dropped the ball on this song IMHO. i was hoping the studio version would more closely resemble the 12 string solo version that ive seen on live videos of robin. this version sounds overdone and is like a wall of sound, too cluttered.
@chrisziggy100 I agree. I don't think it's a bad song, but it feels too full to me. In some of there songs, "full" worked quite well, like in Blue Ridge Mountains or Helplessness Blues. Other songs work fantastically when they're stripped down though. Tiger Mountain Peasant Song and Innocent Son are very solo and they're wonderful. I agree that this would work better with just Robin and his guitar.
@itsourhai I've heard everything you've heard-sorry. I just downloaded this one song. The only songs they released from Helplessness Blues are the title track and this one. Sorry :(
Who gives a shit about the genre, the influences, the authenticity of their roots? They're just making some fucking music, and all that matters is that it sounds good and feels good.

@chrisziggy100 I agree. I don't think it's a bad song, but it feels too full to me. In some of there songs, "full" worked quite well, like in Blue Ridge Mountains or Helplessness Blues. Other songs work fantastically when they're stripped down though. Tiger Mountain Peasant Song and Innocent Son are very solo and they're wonderful. I agree that this would work better with just Robin and his guitar.
