Reviews
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "They have a suave sound that incorporates ska, New Wave and Afro-pop....Vampire Weekend mostly earn points the old-fashioned way: by writing likable songs you'll be glad to revisit next month.", Ranked #2 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "An eclectic mix of upbeat indie, Afrobeat and 21st century baroque...", Ranked #10 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums Of 2008 -- "Casual as a cardigan, willfully optimistic, ultratuneful and surprisingly danceable, VAMPIRE WEEKEND is built to last.", "A debut album of quite dazzling brilliance and novelty....These songs are a joy, both intelligent and catchily uplifting.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Vampire Weekend have made a truly fresh, fun, and smart record....They spit witty lyrics on subjects they clearly know...", "Replete with the perky world music beats that would carry the rest of their 2008 self-titled debut, 'Mansard Roof' is a bustling, energetic song that captures the energy of the band’s native NYC.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "VW show themselves possessed of great strength of character, unafraid to wear hearts, or intelligence, on their sleeves.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Combining elements of ska, reggae and Afro-pop with traditional rock structures, songs like 'Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa' have a carefree energy...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Vampire Weekend's version of globalization is to tightly and smartly woven to be mere dilettantism...", Ranked #14 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "What really matters is the sheer youthful effervescence and musical ingenuity of these Ivy Leaguers' self-titled debut.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Extremely inventive....Vampire Weekend are the musical equivalent of a Wes Anderson movie...", "A No-Dud Sleection of Instant Party Starters....With a Breezy, Endless-Weekend Sound..."

Original, interesting and fun CD that will get plenty of listens
The debut album, released in 2008 was a blisteringly good first album full of energy and uplifting melodies. If anything its just such a good fun, feel-good album that from the word go is instantly playable and endlessly listenable. What makes Vampire Weekend stand out is their distinctive sound. Yes they are Indie, but with violins, cellos and guitars and pianos fused to create an eargasm for listeners every time. I've owned this CD since its release and it really is one you can put on and play through and each sound is unique and distinctive from the rhythmic sounds of stringed instruments in 'M79' to 'One (Blake's Got a New Face)' which is just good fun. The album has energy and will have you bouncing around and singing along its infectious beats and melodies. 'A-punk' 'Oxford Comma' and 'Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa' are all highlights of the album whilst 'I stand Corrected' and 'The Kids Don't Stand a Chance' demonstrates a more mellow, subtle and thoughtful side compared to other songs. This ensures the album has plenty of depth and the overriding feeling that each song is unique and quite rightly an experience in itself. I would reccomend this album for instant impact on your life. It will be a worthy purchase as it will get plenty of plays, I probably nearly burnt a whole in the disc i played it so much and for this reason its good value and lots of fun. Perfect for the summerRead full review
