Their best Album was Emotionalism, but their last two werent bad either, I even went to concert of theirs last year and they played more of the Old stuff then the new. was a great concert.

MEh ever since Rick Rubin got a hold of them their refined sound has less emotion and appeal to me.

 

Oh and also drummers are useless

I always found their music fairly boring same as the rest of the fadora bands.  Those two songs were ok but didn't really do much for me.  I live around Charlottesville and this is the only type of music that a band is ever playing live around here so I suppose that might have soured me on it.  A lot of people really like it though so they must be doing something right.

Talk about a band that has lost their sound

 

Yeah, I'm definitely not a fan of Rubin's influence on them as a producer. I miss the ragged, stripped down version of the group...but I feel like what they are now has happened naturally. They would not be selling out Greensboro Coliseum as a three piece. It's just the nature of the beast. If they hadn't gotten so popular they would still be an awesome little local NC band.

 

They still have great songs on their albums, but yea to me they don't hold a candle to their prior albums like Four Theives Gone, Mignonette, and Emotionalism.

 

I just want to hear an album from them not produced by Rubin.

Yeah I used to follow their setlists every show. They used to just play the hell out of ILU and a small part of me died inside. But in the past couple of years they've really started to dig back into their catalogue, which of course is awesome.

This basically made me tell the wife we weren't going anymore. I was trying to see if they had any videos of when they were Nemo and played in places like The Brewery. They'd come over when in town and drink beers at my buddies place when we had parties.

That's awesome. I got an autographed Nemo CD off eBay for like $60 a few years ago.

Overrated = I'm not a fan of that type of music.

 

I loved M&S before this current album that is about to release. there is nothing wrong with banjo's and strumming an instrument if it makes great music.

 

their old stuff was fantastic. to me this new album would be like Jay Z doing Country music, not only should it never happen, it's down right terrible.  if I wanted to listen to Coldplay/U2 poo I'd listen to them. but with M&S I want M&S not whatever this crap is.

 

at least I know the Avett Brothers will never let me down in this regard. 

 

you couldn't be more wrong with that assumption... i'm actually a decent fan of M&S, but only when one of their songs pops up in a shuffle that I've got going.  more than one song back to back and it's just the same thing over and over... i'm a huge fan of the avett bros, love bluegrass, jam grass, folk, indy folk, whatever they're calling the newest stuff in this 'genre' these days

 

M&S just swooped in real quick (on the coat tails of the avett bros imo), rose to prominence overnight and then churned out two consecutive albums that had no uniqueness to it

I wouldn't say they are overrated. If you haven't seen The Railroad Revival Tour you need to. Them, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, and Old Crow Medicine Show put on an awesome show.

 

OCMS and Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros light years ahead of M&S... I know that tour made a lot of people happy, but I felt like M&S was just along for the ride on that one.  alex ebert getting his poo together and jade leaving is going to do nothing for ES&M0's tho... i'm afraid their best years are behind them.  glad I got to see them a few times already

Everyone lost their sh!t when Dylan went electric. Bands change or they die. Marcus Mumford is an incredibly talented songwriter along the lines of Dylan or Paul Kelly, but he'd mined the Americana/Jam Band thing until he couldn't fit it to his work anymore.

 

I like the new stuff, but I'm really having to let it grow on me a bit first.

      Draft Grades

      Panthers NFC South Champs!

      First on T-Mac, I 100% expect him to be the top WR from this class, however I think expecting him to put up 1k+ as a rookie isn't necessarily fair, especially since you're putting it in perspective of how many other rookie WRs have done that in recent years. And Thielen is the reason for that. Not many (if any) of those 1k+ rookies had someone like Thielen there when they were drafted, and no matter how good T-Mac is this year, Bryce is still going to lean on his existing chemistry with Thielen unless he's drastically lost a step this offseason and just can't get open like he's been able to in his career. As I pointed out in another thread the other day, looking at MHJ last year is the way to look at T-Mac's season if Thielen plays a full and healthy season.  MHJ had McBride "steal" 110+ catches and 1,100+ yards in what was a pass happy offense (Kyler was 9th in the league in attempts), it's going to be hard for any rookie to put up more than the 800ish yards he had last year in that scenario.  Especially if we follow a similar game plan to last year and be a run heavy team. In terms of XL, you're completely right, jumping up to get a project 2/3 isn't smart, and if we knew we needed a future slot from that pick, yes, Ladd would have been a much better pick. But at this point, those are all sunk costs, even taking T-Mac at 8 is now considered a sunk cost. Forgetting the past or who we maybe should have taken last year now knowing future roles, I still think T-Mac, XL, Coker can be one of the Top 1-3 WR rooms in the NFL in a few years, I honestly think they really do have that potential in them.

      BREAKING: Panthers claim CB M.J. Devonshire off Waiver Wire

      Maybe we should have just drafted a corner?  Crazy, I know.  One of the few positions we knew had to be addressed in the draft and nadda.
