His take: 'Contra' by Vampire Weekend


by J.Paul

Are you sure it was August, 2007? It seemed more like October or November when we saw them cos I thought that record came out in February. Anyway.

You've got to be fucking kidding me. This record starts with 'Horchata,' which can't decide on what kind of beat it wants to have, and in the least charming way imaginable. It's all over the place and sounds contrived. Also, the lyrics are silly, trite and have no meaning. Which is fine, but I expected more from this band who've already proven they know how to at least tell an interesting story. What a piece of shit. Moving on after the jump.
