they played a snippet of Connect on Vampire Campfire and I’m weirdly annoyed lmao I was trying to go in without hearing any album cuts

So happy I’m going in fresh tonight

That song takes a couple listens to properly sink in anyway IMO.

I already forgot how it sounds anyway lolllll

The average critic score: 85/100 (B+)
(based on 19 reviews: 19 positive; 100%).

You know critics so badly wanted to cancel yet another formerly popular white indie rock group but the music was too good and they had to swallow their pride

it's time

Classical hell yeah

Oh brother 🙄 yeah white people are really under attack lmao

How do mfs like you even find ktt

huh

OK I'LL "LET IT GO" EZRA DAMN.

i preferred the b-side on this, wasn't really connecting with the first half on first listen.

Classical, The Surfer, Mary Boone. this is certainly their coolest sounding album

lol get over yourself

anyway

1.5 hours until greatness

this is an absolutely beautiful album

it really feels like what a vampire weekend album should sound like in 2024

might b recency bias but after two listens this rlly feels like it could b their best

my ranking is near flipped lmfao

s/t
ogwau
fotb
contra
vampires

f*** im listening to hope right now

dont hate me but the surfer and prep school gangsters kinda boring to me

Pravda feels like a Contra lost track

This new album gonna be my first time listening. Cover is so clean

Mary Boone voice Larry Juneeee
