Reviews4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Koenig has stuffed his hooks and bridges with so many change-ups in rhythm, guitar tone and dramatic instrumental flourish that, by the finish, you feel like you’ve been whipped through a modern-pop homage to the Beatles’ ABBEY ROAD medley -- twice over.", Included in Rolling Stone's "The 50 Best Albums of 2019" -- "Bandleader Ezra Koenig continued to expertly capture the big and little tragedies and comedies that engulf individual lives and the world at large.", "Father of the Bride Is more Personal and Inward Looking than Any of Their Previous Three...", "Looser, lighter, less urgent. It is also more jammy than anything the band has put forth before, but this is not a Phish record; rather, the group used the extra space as room to wander and explore with purpose.", "Forever reviving the unrevivable, the band finds rich soil to till in harmony-laden '70s country-pop, jaunty '80s adult alternative and Grateful Dead phases that real fans can probably ID to the exact gig date. It's all blended with VW's typical acuity for gently off-kilter hooks...", "Vampire Weekend return with a shaggy, sprawling double album all about rebirth, contentment, and the reclamation of light.", "Frontman Ezra Koenig Explores Mortality and New Fatherhood in Ways both Melancholy and Serene...", "It’s every bit as immediate and listenable as it is confident, and more buoyant overall than the sombre MODERN VAMPIRES...", "'Rich Man' sees Koenig croon romantically over some lush strings and a repeated lo-fi melody to gorgeous effect...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The first album in nearly six-years is a key reinvention for the indie stalwarts, with a looseness and funkiness that proves, thankfully, they've not overthought the comeback.", "Ezra Koenig expertly spins even the shabbiest couplets into nuance -- and he does it to the tune of pure sunshine."

  • A must-have album for any serious muso

    Amazing album. Every track a winner, mostly songs that you kind of think you know already, have heard before somewhere, yet totally original and fresh at the same time. Do yourself a favour and buy this record.
