Vampire Weekend

I think it sounds really hollow and lacks the energy they had on the last record. Of course unless Big3 was playing the devil's advocate he feels the opposite.

I really like the new album, personally. I will admit that I heard Cousins on the radio, and that's how I came about them. While I was out at a record store for an entirely different reason, I picked up their new album. Since then, I've also listened to the one that preceeds Contra. I can't decide which one I like better, but I don't think either of them are bad by any means.
On another note, is it just me or do they seem to enjoy Canada? Because everytime I look into going to a concert, they're in Canada...Which sucks.

I saw them live last year. Did anyone else find them quite lame? Lacking the energy that they displayed on the album.

now that VW is on the Twilight: Eclipse soundtrack a lot of fangirls will be swooning over them. But they had a pretty huge fan base before that, and before Nick and Norah's. But Contra is epic, even though some of the lyrics irritate me, For instance, "In the summer drinking Horchata, I'd look psychotic in a balaclava."

Other than that, Vampire Weekend is total boss.

They won't really. They may gain in popularity a bit and certainly in radioplay but Muse didn't really get absolutely huge after Twilight so I'm not expecting Vampy Weekend to....although they are pretty popular as it is.....dang.

Never really listened a lot to them, but Holiday is a great song. Gonna give A Punk a try now.

I'm running some music awards on another forum for the fun of it, and oddly this album & the band itself were nominated.

Well I say oddly, given I like both, but there's something very...inclusive about them. I think you have to like everything they do, or absolutely none of it.
