    There were a lot better albums released that deserved to have that spot.
    It was an ok album, not nearly as good as "Sigh No More"

    I suggest you see them live. While their performance last night was really good, they are arguably one of the best live bands around today. Talented group of guys right there... What an amazing feeling at the live gigs - cannot wait to see them again!

    They are incredible live! They are so much fun. I saw them in 2011 and was surrounded by drunk idiots (including the guy next to me who screamed, "Play The Cave" all night. It was the closer. :lol: ) and I still had a fantastic time.

    Didn't deserve to be nominated? Wow...you do realize it was the best-selling rock album of 2012?

    To each his own...They are not for everyone...

    I personally think it is better than "Sigh No More"...there are literally no lapses in "Babel"..."Sigh No More", while a great album, has a few fast forwards...the 6 pages of reviews prior to this seem to agree about "Babel" as well...

    100% Agree with this. And for those that think it's the same song over and over you clearly haven't listened to all of their music. Broken Crown is quickly becoming one of my favorite songs of all time...it's a perfect piece of music with highs and lows. Just amazing. I find myself listening to Babel more than Sigh No More. I still haven't seen them live yet...I have a feeling when I do my obsession with them will skyrocket! :lol:

    I agree, to an extent, to some of the criticisms that the albums are similar sounding, but like many artists, their albums obviously have a similar vibe. However, there are definitely distinctions between the songs and albums.

    I LOVE Broken Crown. It's been one of my favourites from the first listen. Great song! :)

    Tickets. Ok folks, so this time we’re trying something a little different, something we hope will make things easier and fairer for everyone to get tickets, and to try and stop those scalpers. So this is what you need to know.
    If you’d like the chance to buy tickets for one of the North American headline shows, head to invitation.mumfordandsons.com NOW and register for an invitation.
    Please make sure you check your email and if you receive an invitation, you’ll be at the front of the queue to purchase tickets when they go on sale on April 5th. It’s not a pre-sale as such, but if you do receive an invitation you’ll have a chance to buy your tickets a bit earlier that everyone else.
    The plan is part of our ongoing efforts to put as many tickets as possible directly into the hands of M&S fans, and to try and give people a fairer shot at getting tickets. There will also be a normal onsale for those of you who like it that way too, starting 5th April.
    Registration is open now, and will close at midnight on Sunday March 31st. More answers and info at invitation.mumfordandsons.com.
    Finally we’re thrilled to say that Michael Kiwanuka and Mystery Jets will join the guys as support too.
    Much love,
    M&S HQ x

    Magnificent news about the tour! Cannot wait - Chula Vista - YES!!!! This is awesome...
    I am so stoked these guys are touring...wish I could catch one of the GOTR dates w/ Alabama Shakes...that is destined to be amazing...

    64 yr old Dad - last night - (who I dragged to Old Crow Medicine Show 5 yrs ago & turned on to M & S: Hey, did you get the email for the pre-invite for Mumford tickets? I'll try for the 3 Berkeley shows you try for San Bernadino & Chula Vista - okay?
    So awesome. :lol:

    Even my wife, who wasn't a fan until she rocked out tot hem at the Hollywood Bowl in November - said "how many shows are we going for?"

    Side note: awesome Rolling Stone cover story about these guys if you haven't read it yet.

    Good luck to all trying to get tickets. :D

    Chula Vista might be a 1/2 hour from your house, but it takes at least 45 minutes to find parking and another 2-3 hours to get out of that venue. Did your dad score any tix in Berkeley?

    Does anyone know if the presale codes are user specific? I wanted to help a friend out for the same show. It appears to let me select a seat, but I don't want to get my original order canceled or something.

    Dad was shut out of all 3 Berkeley Shows...he's going to try on 4/5...I'm also going to try 4/5 for Chula Vista...I know its a mess getting out, but it is near home. Usually I have a small cooler packed to chill out and suck a few down before i head home...
    Exciting to know this band is touring...i saw them at hollywood bowl in November and it was mind blowingly awesome...pretty sad Pearl Jam hasn't been here proper since 2009, but i'll gladly donate my music dollars to Mumford, Alabama Shakes, Old Crowe and the like...

    I got picked for the Thursday Berkeley show, my wife got picked for the Friday Berkeley show, and we used her code. Do you want to try my Thursday code and try to get tix for your dad? Let me know, I imagine you should be able to use it as long as tix are still available.
