I get the hate for M&S, but what's the gripe against the Lumineers?

honest question
If this is your response to quality music, I give up.
Besides, I can almost hear it seeping through your posts..."Never made it as a wise man, couldn't cut as a poor man stealing..."
Tell the truth, you have a goatee and a perm, don't you?

The Lumineers an indie-esque band for people that really don't like good indie rock.

Not into the whole bluegrass rock thing. But they are still better than most of the stuff on the radio.

Every Mumford and Sons song is exactly the same. Quiet jingle-jangle for the verses, then crank up the bluegrass for the chorus. On every song. It's never good, for me at least, when a band comes on and you know exactly who it is but you can't figure out which song it is. And this is after only two albums.
Mumford and Sons is formulaic pop using acoustic sounds instead of EDM or hip-hop beats. Yes, they play their instruments but so does Nickelback. Nothing more "legitimate" about their music, really.

quote:There was nothing original or legitimate about Nickelback. Ever. The "formula" that they used was basically ripped off from other cheesy post-grunge bands like Creed. At least Mumford's "formula" is somewhat unique. And the fact that Marcus Mumford isn't an entitled douche like Chad Kroeger helps his cause.

I'm willing to bet that they don't stray too far off the beaten path

It's a sped up version of folk, Some could say that Flogging Molly and the Dropkick Murpheys were M&S before M&S

Give it a bit, Mark E. Mumford will let all the hype get to his head, and when the criticism rains down, he will be just like Ol' Chad

Would you or would you not agree with this?

Eh. Those bands are Irish folk mixed with hard rock. Mumford's sound isn't overwhelmingly Celtic and there aren't really any hard rock influences, either.

Mumford and Sons are from England, not too far from Ireland, but that's irrelevant
The point is that it's folk music, with a twist
FM-Whistle the wind
Not something unique
Avett Brothers were doing this long before M&S, as well

I'm not claiming that they're pioneering some kind of new genre or anything, but they do generally have their own "sound" and aren't a blatant rip-off of any other band.
Nickelback is just an even more insufferable Creed.

The next person that refers to either of these bands as bluegrass is getting shot

M&S and Lumineers is new and different to those that don't realize there is HUGE music scene out there other than what is played on the radio.

Regardless, they are folk influenced, same with Mumffy and Co.
