This NY four-piece draw on their diverse backgrounds and interests, experimenting with African guitar music, the Western classical canon, hazy memories of Cape Cod summers, winters in upper Manhattan, and reggaeton. "Equal parts shruggy New York indie strumming and groovy Afro-pop, Vampire Weekend's organ-and-drum runs highlight narratives about relationships, punctuation, and sometimes both" - Spin. Named "Hot New Kids" in Rolling Stone's "Hot" issue. Vinyl contains MP3 coupon.

Summary: I love Vampire Weekend
Comment: I love this CD! I love people like Buddy Holly and the Stray Cats so this music has a very nostalgic sound. I can't get enough of Vampire Weekend. I listen to the CD every night. My favorite song has to be Oxford Comma. Get this CD you wont be disapointed! :)

Summary: don't bother
Comment: all you nedd is a casio keyboard and a half decent voice, then you can sell a cd too....come on what's stopping you?
Customer Rating:
Summary: New flavor
Comment: These guys have some ingenious stuff. Every song is unique and fun. This is what indie music is all about. They have some awesome lyrics~ really creative. None of this 'my girlfriend cheated on my with my best friend,' 'I love you like poison apples,' bizarre or cliche lyrics. Check these guys out~ it's like The Postal Service with a little more attitude.

Summary: Whole Album is pretty good
Comment: When I first heard "A-punk" on the radio I assumed that the rest of the album wouldn't be that great. Most of songs are really good, and even the couple that aren't great are still pretty good. I might get tired of it in awhile but it is a really fresh sounding CD that is a lot of fun in the mean time.

Summary: Vampire Weekend = Wow
Comment: I bought this cd as something to listen to when I went on a trip to Paris. Like for the plane, or around the city. Well I listened to it a little bit and then barely listened to it at all. I was mad at myself for buying something that I didn't really want. Well, as of recently, I have been listening to it more and more. Right now I'm listening to it. haha.
I really like the songs, "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" "A-Punk" "Mansard Roof" "M79" and "Campus" The other songs are still growing on me. :)
Bottom Line : It's a really good cd and it mixes so many different styles. It really sounds African at sometimes, which is totally weird but awesome. The lyrics are at times complex, funny, and true. I really recommend this cd to anyone who wants to try something different and amazing! :D
