Description:

Like the first album, Contra was produced by keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij and is the realization of a whole and unique musical vision that sees the band stretching out and adding new textures, instrumentation, and rhythms into their sound.Primarily recorded in New York with a springtime sojourn to Mexico, Contra feels altogether fresh, joyous, and like nothing else but is immediately recognizable as the sound of Vampire Weekend.

Like drinking three litres of Evian Jul 21, 2010
There are 99 reviews of this disc on Amazon, so I am not sure why I am bothering. Anyway, it is a complete mystery to me why so many people seem to like this; it is the musical equivalent of drinking three and a half litres of Evian - it made me feel vaguely queasy.

This is basically 'Europe' for people who would die of embarrassment if anyone found a copy of 'The Final Countdown' under their copy of Wallpaper.

A fair review of a fair cd Jul 02, 2010
I was impressed with the band's last offering and like everyone else I was anxious for Contra. I was a little concerned when I saw the reviews averaging 4 stars from a band that has a strong following. Now that I have heard this cd many times I see why. It is good but not great. I think 3 stars is probably a more fair assessment. You really don't have those big hits like the last album, nor is it as deep. If you are a Vampire Weekend fan than go for it just don't expect too much.

great product...no problems Jul 02, 2010
this group is finally a new band i wanted to buy the actually physical albums...i do that rarely... they are very unique...if ur a "student of music" in any form ull appreciate what they're trying to do and how unique they really are

bloody good Jun 24, 2010
nice band, bought this album to have in the car to get ready for their upcoming concert

Music Monday : Vampire Weekend, Contra Jun 21, 2010
...I actually found this group through some banner ads in one of my iPod Touch apps. After a few days of ignoring it, I decided to do a Google search on the group. From there, I watched a couple of their videos on Youtube, and knew I had to own the album for myself. What a splendid surprise! Every song tells its own story, but the track layout brings them all together. This post-folk California summer sound blends live instruments, catchy melodies, and the lead singer's nostalgic voice with modern lyrics, and a couple of subtle references to late hip hop legend, Notorious B.I.G. on title track, Contra.

I can't tell you what to listen to, but feel free to GET ADDICTED to the Vampire Weekend album, Contra.
