It's music you play at prestigious academies. And a damn good one at that.

I've never been as in love with this album as others seem to be, but it is a solid debut. Some songs I don't care much for, but the tracks that stick out are pretty endearing. "Walcott" is probably my favorite Vampire Weekend song, with a close second in "Hannah Hunt." That track in particular is a juggernaut, so it's good that it comes at the end. Anyway, good album.

Like it, don't love it. Still, it has an innocent charm that they've long since lost.

It's amazing, I love it, way better than Graceland, etc. M79 is one of my favorite songs from the 00s.

I dunno, I found it pretty annoying. Still better than Contra, though.

Love it, all of it. This past summer will forever be associated with Vampire Weekend for me, I listened to almost nothing else. When I was leaving Cape Cod in July I listened to this album and when Walcott came on it was fucking perfect, as I was actually sitting in traffic at the bottleneck. Shit show indeed.

Enjoyable bit of innocent, naive fun. I can see how people perceive it as annoying, but it really is hard for me to resist going mental at this little bundle of joy.
