I think I like this one slightly more than their debut, especially because of songs like "Ghosts That We Knew" and "Not With Haste". When I heard the album closer, my wife and I just looked at each other astounded. This was us. 21 years old, between our junior and senior years of university, and me asking her to marry me. Both of us broke students. There's so much more to say about this album (about how love heals), but nobody cares.

I prefer this album to Sign No More. But I agree with niebesu, the one reason I never really liked Mumford & Sons was because they're a folk band that constrains themselves to using the same melodies and instruments. It's all a little samey.

@niebesu: I'm just curious how you experiment with the sound of a banjo? If you don't like the sound of the banjo, why the f*ck are you listening? If this album is like a one hour song, then right on... I believe I have an hour to listen to some fine music.

It's odd that when a mediocre artist releases an album completely similar to the last one, the fans are praising it, but when someone like Mumford and Sons does it, the people hate it. Sure, some of the songs are too similar to Sigh No More, but we loved it in the first place for being a nice escape from the mainstream. Just enjoy what it's trying to accomplish.

If you really think all the songs sound the same you obviously suck at listening to music..... Sure a lot of them are similar but there are differences in both arrangements and tempo, but i guess it's just too subtle for you. You loved Sigh No More, what did you expect this time around? It's really just more of the same style. Sigh No More is not more "varied" than Babel, it's just you that are blinded.

It's not as melancholic as Sigh No More, takes away a bit of their magic, but it's wonderful for what it is.
