Of Monsters and Men
The reasons for their success are simple: terrific songs that combine the folky with the epic, and instantly infectious choruses big on "la la la"s and "hey hey"s.

Why see Of Monsters and Men?
Iceland's Indie-Folksters Are Back!
A bouncy six-piece outfit hailing from Iceland, with songs infused with more color than the aurora borealis, they deal in infectiously indie-folk-filled choruses that give way to titanically triumphant anthems, whilst taking you along for the ride. After winning a battle of the bands in their native Reykjavik, their debut record 'My Head is an Animal' became a worldwide hit, with lead single 'Little Talks' cementing their place in the mainstream.
With talents that can merge the feel of a campfire sing-along into a heavily atmospheric epic, reminiscent yet completely unique of, their fellow Icelanders Sigur Ros, Of Monsters and Men are the real deal!

The Met-Of Mosters and Men
Went to Philly with my wife (we are from Atlanta) to see Of Monsters and Men at the "Met". We have seen them twice before this show at the Met. It was a great concert that included a lot of their "NEW" songs. Nothing wrong with that since the new album is full of great songs. Their music has changed a little from their first album, yet what band has stayed the same through out their history. Short yes, yet to the point. I would rather listen to 19 songs than 25 with two or three 20 minute drum solos. You can see it in their eyes that they enjoy their music and enjoy playing it for the crowd. I will see them again hopefully next year. ... Read more

75 minutes - some perspective
Note: I wasn't in Philadelphia; I did the rating only because it was req'd
.
OMAN played 1.5 hr in NY & Boston; Mohegan about 1.25 hr. The Stones & Springsteen are hardly a fair comparison; they may play longer, but tickets are also much more expensive. They've been at this a LOT longer & thus have a much larger catalog w/which to work. The last time I saw Springsteen the show started 1.5 hr after the announced start time. Both OMAM and Lower Dens (a 30 min performance) started on time. That scores points for me.
.
However one cuts it, 75 min of live OMAM is still better than sitting on the couch all evening.
