yeah i listened to about 30 seconds of their first single and decided i wasn't going to bother with the new album. their honestly just not the same band anymore
new vampire weekend single get pumped!
i've only listened to it once so far. its alright, lacks most of the fun that made their first album so great but its still a good tune.
they basically want the album to sound like afp live. which to be honest i prefer, but i still really like the new album even if it is essentially an eraser follow up.
they remind me to much of the bland indie stuff they always play on the radio around here, the maccabees or whatever. i probably should give their debut another listen though.
freal. those backwards tape loops too, so good. i'm surprised it doesn't get more attention generally, pretty easily their best ep, other than maybe everywhere and his nasty parlour tricks
i'm crossing my fingers for a at the drive in reunion here.
i actually enjoy the mars volta's first couple records haha, wanky prog rock if there was but it can be fun
