- Bad Name For a Great New Band
Vampire Weekend. Really?
The name alone made me never want to hear this CD. Luckily, I clicked to listen to a sample. The King Sunny Ade-style guitar immediately caught my attention. This could be good, or it could be really pretentious.
Fortunately, upon receiving the album, I found a quartet of college kids who simply love fun music. Vampire Weekend takes their favorite sounds (organ, drums, African guitar), their favorite pop-stylings (reggae, ska, Juju), add some Talking Heads-ish smarty pants lyrics, a dash of Paul Simon in the lead vocals and create truly energetic songs that are surprisingly melodic and well-structured.
In indie-rock, melody-driven material is not easy to come by and more often than not, what meldoy there is usually sounds like an afterthought. But VW puts melody back where it belongs ... in your ear and stuck in the back of your brain for days on end.
As a music listener who has incredibly eclectic tastes, but is also extremely critical, I find myself disappointed by almost every new "hot" band that emerges on the indie market (trust me, I hate most of even the most successful ones like Franz Ferdinand, Strokes My Chemical Romance and The Killers). Vampire Weekend was the first "hyped" release I have heard in years that I actually fell in love with.
Rating: - Cetainly the most fun and original album in a long time
I bought this album based on all the hype with no expectations. I have to say that this is one of the rare cases where the music lives up to the hype. Not only is it different from anything I've heard recently but it is also quite accessible. I'm no fan of Paul Simon, but VW sounds nothing like him to me. Anyway that's not how I listen to music. I am a fan of bands like Interpol, Bjork, Raconteurs, and R.E.M. If you want something that sounds like everything else on the radio then check out Britney Spears. Otherwise for something fun, catchy, and original give Vampire Weekend a listen.
Rating: - Great summer music
I just saw them in concert--great concert, really fun-everyone was bouncing and singing along. Vampire Weekend is great summer music, great beach music, music to play in the car on the way to the beach, or in your room while getting ready for the beach. For the summer, there is nothing better. Not sure how well it will translate come winter, but this is good, sunny, fun music. Worth the $10, definitely.

- ENERGY!!!
if you kinda like Arctic Monkeys, BabyShambles...this is another option for you! it just energizes me when i hear it.

Rating: - awesome
I rarely find a cd where I enjoy all the songs on it. Catchy beats to go along with the catchy name. You'd be doing yourself a favor buying this cd.
