Mumford and Sons cover The National.

I am hearing a bunch of negative buzz regarding Mumford’s cover of “England” by The National. I love that song, and I am now a fan of The National because of it. Do you like Mumford’s version of “England”? Do you like it better than The National? I am wondering if The Nationals youtube video has significantly increased because of Mumford’s live version? I am sure they have drawn more fans because of it. If a major famous band wanted to cover one of my song I sure would let them!

Maybe people just don't like Mumford & Sons. I can't stand them.

The National aren't exactly an unknown band. In any case, the cover is okay, but it's way too fast, and lacks the grandiose feeling of the original.
