There both pretty bad 🤷🏾‍♂️

eh. they were one of my favorite bands as a teen. but i realized its like.

their first 2 albums they were like millenials parents played a lot of graceland, graceland is a great and enjoyable album that people across generations love, so they did indie pop graceland and it was good. then they decided to wholesale rip off buddy holly for their third album, which was one of my favorite albums at the time. these days i'm deeply familiar with holly's work and a few of those songs come off as pale imitations, but its still a good record.

their 4th album i didn't like at all. they couldn't sell that laid back california rock, the combination of laurel canyon, the dead, sublime etc. that they went for, it just didn't feel believable to me at all. Ezra didn't sell it and they are far too east coast and preppy for that sound to work for them IMO. that 4th album was pretty disappointing and kinda recontextualized their whole discography for me, made me feel like they were buttoned up posers. idk i think they are pretty overated nowadays.

it is controversial.

VW is in a higher tier

Only on KTT2 will you see threads like this.

hate everyone now

Arctic Monkeys and Beatles would be way better comparison

at least its not the old oasis is the new beatles s***

To this day I don't get VW's hype. Like don't get me wrong they got some songs that are great but most of their music sounds like some s*** you'd hear on a cruise

Yes Vampire Weekend's great

My favorite rock band from our generation

John and Paul are like Bird and Magic alex turner is kobe, ezra is tim duncan

only oasis themselves thought that

please put me on to any song that you think is the most impressionable if not Beatles-tier bc ive tried too many times to get into VW but don't get the hype

this one is good

Vampire Weekend is ass and so are your threads

big fan of their music and even rostam’s solo output but kys

yeah idk, maybe theres some sort of context or perspective I've yet to understand it better from but outside of songwriting and song material that it objectively good it doesn't do anything for me from a transcendent level

yea they obviously arent as good as the f***ing beatles lmao

Admittedly i like modern music more but I listen to vampire weekend so much more than the Beatles

I mean cmon give me one vampire weekend song better than this
