The first part of the album is growing on me, but Realpeople is amazing so far.

I got around to finally grabbing a physical copy of this last week. I like it, especially the Zapotec disc. But it had a hard act to follow as The Flying Cup Club is a truly wonderful record. For me the Zapotec record is a bit too short so therefore it is really only for the hardcore fan such as myself and would not recommend it as a place to start if one was a Beirut virgin. Therefore a vote of average from me.

Yet to get hold of it but i love everything else Beirut have done so far so i should imagine it'll get a positive response

i was disappointed, having loved his previous LPs. i didn't care for the realpeople side at all. and i would give zapotec very good, so i gave it an average.

Can't say I'm a fan of the electronic approach on the Realpeople Holland side either, it just doesn't fit them. I much prefer the backyard marching band fiesta feel they've got going on with March of the Zapotec, but I think the vocals are strong throughout both halves. I'll vote Average just because they've done better.. and this song isn't on it

everything from Beirut is amazing. (that's saying a lot because germans don't usually make that great of music)
