Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us (April 5, 2024) • Page 5

i'll wait to grab it at a local store

still $36.98 on Amazon but at least shipping is free with prime..

 

Came back to say “Don’t Lie” is the best VW song and one of the best songs of the 10’s.

 

Blew through MVOTC this morning. That record is so good. I have a feeling this new one will be up there.

 

Hopefully it tops FOTB which is easily their best album.

 

whoaaa!

 

Anyone know if either clear or black presses are limited runs? Not seeing in description.

 

This seems like it could be on par with contra, their universally-regarded best record

 

Clear states "limited edition exclusive vinyl" but not sure how limited lol

 

Oof, $48. I don’t think I can do this, haha.

 

Gen-X Cops IS a lead single. haha!

 

Album announcements without a single just kill me. Give the people what they want.

 

single drops without album announcements drive me crazier lol

 

Vampire Weekend is one of the few bands I am happy to hit play on release day and know it is going to be amazing. I will not be able to resist listening to the singles when they drop, but I like that the release is only two months out. The 6+ month slow drip of info and songs is a bummer to me.

 

Hi guys, I'm from the future and I want to say that this albums everything you think it will be. Do not fear.

 

Back on track from an album art perspective imo

 

Frog on the Bassdrum II just arrived for me today. Great timing by their mgmt to line this up with new album announcement info

 

sat down with FOTBD Vol 2 today and man those live versions are stellar. they were really on something during that tour.

 

Capricorn and cops on YouTube music for those with a vpn

 

God dammit.

 

Howwwwww are they?

 

Was just gonna say I WANT A SONG so checking them out now!

 

2 bangers.

 

1 mash

 

Ezra was living out his Jam Band fever dream. I think those songs were made to be played live. That record is cool and it was a good move to do a live album. I think people rank it lower because it took so long for a follow-up. Fans will warm up to it more as an era of the band when it isn't the most recent thing out.

 

Spun Frog on the Bass Drum Vol. 2 yesterday and agreed; the fellas were cooking with gas on that Father of the Bride tour. I wish more non-jam bands would take notes from that tour: extended jams (that NEW DORP NEW YORK and Sunflower!), inspired covers, song mashups, lengthy shows, etc.
