"Consolidating the work done on the first album, The Vaccines Come Of Age is another collection of dumb, fun, rock 'n' roll (take note Animal Collective & Grizzly Bear) SONGS.

"Trippy and woozy, perfect to get drunk to. Whoever thinks club music can't be genuinely good pieces of art needs to listen to this album." Reply
