Album Rating: 3.0

almost…horchata and california english make it out unscathed

Album Rating: 2.5

'I would've anticipated a 2.0 or even 1.5 from you.'



Checking RYM...2.5 rating.



I think I've only listened to this in full on the one occasion. The singles a bit more.



'Modern Vampires' was actually a big album for me at the time and I still have it on a 3.5...but I feel that might drop if I return to it now.

Album Rating: 4.5

I like Modern Vampires quite a bit, too, but thought it was a little too homogeneous to be truly great, though that exact homogeneity is what a lot of people found to be the most mature and appreciable thing about it.



Anything is better than their most recent album, though. That thing should be about half the length (and even then it'd probably still be their weakest output to date).

Album Rating: 4.0

History will show this album to be a classic.

whats a classic

Album Rating: 4.0

It's a vague term used to convey immense popularity in an album as a determination of its value in a rating, as opposed to actually criticizing and evaulating the music itself.



tl;dr, it's how Allmusic rates albums

Album Rating: 3.0

allmusic is the apex of music websites

Album Rating: 4.0

*changes rating to 4.5 after immense backlash to a 3.5 rating*

allmusic certainly is the apex of... something

Album Rating: 5.0

new singles are full of promise, just like these fine young men making the music

Vampire Weekend fans absolutely having a last laugh on par with Murnau's Last Laugh

Album Rating: 4.5

I am so hype for the new record. Singles are beyond promising - I think "Gen X Cops" is the weakest of the four, but "Classical" and especially "Capricorn" and "Mary Boone" are among VW's best tracks to date. Very reminiscent of the theoretical intersection between CONTRA and MVOTC.



We are SO back 😩👌

Album Rating: 4.5

best vampire weekend and not just because it's called contra



siked for the new one

New singles have been pleasant. I really need to spend more time with this band.
