- Shake Off Your Heavy Ego and Dance!
Just when we have resigned to the renewed realization that every infectious pop melody has been used and reused to the point of utter absurdity, there is always that one band that sprouts from nowhere, spices up the rehashed formulas and proves us wrong. In 2008, this band is unquestionably Vampire Weekend. You may know the Webster's general definition of the word "infectious", but I assure you, upon first hearing the ridiculous swing and bounce of "Oxford Comma", the term will suddenly become very specific and incompatible with any other nouns, proper or not. This basic concept applies to the entire album. Exaggeration? Of course, but this little lie tells a truth. Once you hear Vampire Weekend, you will not be able to sit down. Ever wonder what a Baroque string quartet, bred with a good dosage of Reggae and sugary Pop's child would sound like? Listen to "M79". You can almost hear a variation of Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" (harpsichord included!) throughout the entire thing, even when the steel drums start to gently sway your hammock suspended by palm trees over salty sand and shell, bathed in a fiery sunset. There is a reason that Vampire Weekend is showing up in the play lists of radio-heads (as referring to radio-addicted drones, not the band) and music elitists alike. Sure they may not be ultra-complex or even that original, but this album is more fun than anything that I've heard in a rather lengthy period of time. Vampire Weekend is witty without sacrificing conviction, exciting while at the same time pondering, catchy and absolutely intelligent, similar and simultaneously diverse. I suggest you pick up this simple, stunningly upbeat and rabidly addicting, toothy-grin-inducing virus.

- If only hipsters knew better......
Ok for the first couple of listens. A little to obvious. Paul Simon does it so much better. If only the cool kids knew their music history.
Rating: - A Must Buy for Happy People
This album is wonderful: In the car, at the gym, prepping for a day/night out, at a party, on the go, etc. Get the picture? It's fresh, fun, witty and all over fantastic. Some of the best tracks are A-Punk, Oxford Comma, M79, and Walcott. The upbeat sound and catchy lyrics are paired with an original voice and perspective. I highly recommend it.

- Blechhh!! Seriously? Unfortunately, one can't re-sell MP3 downloads.
Couldn't get through the album a second time. Too cute, pretentious, confectionary, and hip-sterical for me...

- Solid Album Lacking that Something Special
Vampire Weekend's album is quite exceptional for a debut, but after listening to it four or five times I started thinking would this album of worked if it was Vampire Weekend's second or third album? Sadly the answer to that question was no which wasn't a big surprise because that happens with a lot of bands for example The Fratellis album Costello Music would of been an excellent sophomore album but you can't go back in time and stop them from making it. Vampire Weekend does have some amazing songs on here, but quite a few of them are mediocore and bland such as Bryn, I Stand Corrected, and The Kids Don't Stand a Chance. I will say that the good songs on the CD are amazing. My personal favorites are Oxford Comma, Campus, and Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa. I hope that on their next album they do amazing or they might not last that long.
