The Educated Children Of The Night
Review of Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend by greenierexyboy

Advantages: A hugely accessible transmission from the left field
Disadvantages: Other than for fans of the wilfully simplistic, none

...Television and their ilk. And now Vampire Weekend: a quartet who met while studying at Columbia University. Naming themselves after an amateur film made by their singer/distinctly unshowy guitarist Ezra Koenig, they cut an almost painfully preppy dash, and crucially never decided to downplay who they were and where they were coming from: instead, they decided to have some fun with it. The rhythm section of bassist Chris Baio and drummer Chris Tomson ... Read review

Vampire Weekend have a bit of bite to them
Review of Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend by duskmaiden

Advantages: original, great instrumentation and rythmns
Disadvantages: Not an immediate album

...of this review Vampire Weekend . Vampire Weekend are a quartet that hail from New York state and released their eponymous debut album in 2008. I discovered them when their catchy single “Oxford Comma” was played extensively on XFM. Their name may suggest a goth or emo band but they are far from this. There are certainly no overwrought, gloomy dark lyrics here. Vampire Weekend are far from generic and sound unlike any indie or alternative band I know ... Read review

Vampire Weekend: The Debut Album
Review of Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend by crazyfishUK

Advantages: Uplifting and puts you in a good mood!
Disadvantages: only disappointing song was "One"

Vampire Weekend, a band from New York, started out in 2006 and released a few songs but this album which is their debut album was not released until January 2008. I bought this album two weeks ago and have listened to it a number of times and really enjoyed it. The music is uplifting and easy to listen to. The genre of music is quite a mix its mainly indie with some uplifting afro beats. With one song even reminding me very much of a traditional ... Read review

Vampire Weekend review
Review of Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend by MaddSkillzMillz

Advantages: high quality of songs and consistency
Disadvantages: songs are quite short in length

...lyrics. As a musical act, Vampire Weekend perform a brilliantly honest show which is only reflected in their album. The album is of high quality from start to finish and is definitely worth purchasing. Overall I would highly recommend Vampire Weekends' debut as one of this years' finest indie-rock albums. ...

Review of Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend by faybebaby_cpfc

Advantages: Original, Cheap, Fun
Disadvantages: Quite Short

I LOVE this band and their debut album is really good in my oppinion altho it is slightly short. They have a unique sound its sort of classic/indie which is an odd combination but they make it work! All the songs are very up-beat and easy listening. Its a CD the whole family can listen too for example on holiday this year it was soundtrack of the week with everyone from my two year old neice loving it too my 50 year old uncle! I brought it for £7 ... Read review
