Vampire Weekend - Father Of The Bride (May 3, 2019) Album • Page 26

But not Spring Snow?

 

I've finally had a chance to give this a few uninterrupted listens now on my commute. There are still a handful of tracks that I just don't like nearly as much as most people seem to ("Hold You Now", "Rich Man", "My Mistake", "2021") but I love the fact that they just went for it and put so many tracks on the album. I wouldn't say any of those 4 songs are bad at all, just not up to par with the other 14 for me. The closest I come to actually not liking a song would have to be "2021", and that is only because I find the repeated "boy" to be extremely annoying - otherwise it is a really interesting and cool song.

I really assumed that I would be doing what Ezra said some people will be doing and chopping about ⅓ of the tracks off of here, but I really don't think I'll be doing that. I did not like "Big Blue" or "Sunflower" at first and I have come around on both of those tracks in a major way. I did not like the Danielle Haim collabs at first and now I love 2 out of 3.

I could definitely see myself playing this thing and just loving the whole damn hour real soon.

 

peggy’s the best part of twin peaks, what a legend

 

Had no idea he was with Rashida Jones, haha.

 

The songs I love on this will definitely be on my summer pool mix.

 

damn the back half of this album is excellent on first listen.

can't wait to dive in more!

 

“Those annoying SJWs” is a weird thing to throw into a review about this.

 

Sympathy was a little weird at first for me, but it absolutely won me over by the end. My man was beating the shit out of the drums

 

I’m coming around to this a little. I think it’s missing some of the energy that their previous albums had, but a lot of this is still really beautiful. The “all I do is lose, but baby, all I want’s to win” line in the closer is classic VW and makes me smile so damn much.

 

I love the flexatone on "How Long?"

 

I have an extra ticket to see the band on kimmel this Thursday

@irthesteve ?

 

Gimme dem details! I am guessing it's daytime which wouldn't be possible

 

Yeah check in is 2:15 :(

Anyone else wanna go?

 

stranger is gonna be a hit

 

so you guys are trying to tell me that Ezra and Danielle Haim ARENT in love?

 

I think they're all friends.

 

Okay first listen here we go

 

"How Long?" oh my god

 

couldnt imagine having a child with rashida and being in love with anyone else

 

god this keeps getting better and better. i haven't listened to a single other thing today.

 

Okay I still don't love "Sunflower" but I don't dislike it anymore either

 

"Stranger" rules

 

This is just so good all the way through. I don’t know where to rank it, but that’s because all four albums are damn near flawless in my opinion. What an absurdly good run of albums they’re having. Not many bands can compare.

 

Sympathy is my too-early standout; what a tune
