Thistle & Weeds by Mumford & Sons (6436 KB)

Folk rock is a very specific genre if you're a music hungry soul looking for a better song each time. You'll be amazed how many artists suck when they attempt to make their indie band sound a bit folk and more punk. They claim to bring out a new sound, just because of that, I credit them for not learning the basics and attempting something stupid.
In the past whole year, since about August of 2009, I've only heard about three folk albums which are worth listening to. And of course, it includes Fleet Foxes' self-titled album. It's not a common thing to find a great folk rock band and if you think you've found one, they end up being something very short-lived.
Fortunately, the only folk album I've heard this year that's worth getting a positive five stars is Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More. The album is a true folk rock album. The elements are present with debut album excellence. There is a whole thought process that I felt I was going through when I heard the first few songs.
Mumford & Sons' music was recommended to me just a few days ago and when I heard it, I was entertained. I still am listening to the album over and over because of its replay value. A highly well done album that brings sounds of Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, and some more together, the instruments are efficiently balanced.
My favorite and most distinct notice from the whole album is the fact that the vocals sound excruciatingly like Andy Hull's from Manchester Or chestra.
I've included my favorite song from the album. You ought to listen to the whole album and let me know if there's anything you like.
