Vampire Weekend - Father Of The Bride (May 3, 2019) Album • Page 17

Guess I have some music to listen to

 

This album is going to be huge.

 

These two new songs are fucking phenomenal. "Harmony Hall" is really damn good and I would put these two new ones from today right up there with it. As others have pointed out, "Unbearably White" is such a great name for a VW song.

Of the others, "Big Blue" is the only one I've come around on so far.

 

love all the songs. can't wait for the album. can't wait to see them this summer.

 

These 6 songs are screaming summer

 

I’ve liked all the songs but this is first drop to make me really excited for the record

 

those two records are just absolute *chef's kiss*

 

Just relistened to all the songs and have decided this is probably going to be a masterpiece that’s talked about for years and I’m sorry for ever saying anything bad about a sunflower because it’s silly but also brilliant

 

gonna be another summer ripper it seems

 

u mean a masterripper

 

Right now "Sunflower" and "2021" just remind me of "California English, Pt. 2".

 

God damn both of these songs are SO GOOD.

 

Okay I'm back on board with these two newest songs

 

"This Life" fuckin rules

best drop of the bunch for me

I am still personally disappointed in the production style they seem to be going with after MVotC but what're ya gonna do

 

Yeah, great songs. I can’t put my hand on it but for some reason I’m not connecting with them as much as mvotc or contra production wise. I can totally tell the ones Rostam is on and it feels more normal? Could just need to be a grower for me.

 

The production just kinda feels too clean? MVoTC’s production was clean too but there was an ethereal quality to it that made it work

 

I miss Rostam’s influence dearly and he’s a large part of why Modern Vampires is the record it is. I think this album is going to be great and get tons of hype, and already the singles are gaining this band new fans (at least in this thread), but I worry that Modern Vampires will be a record many people just don’t listen to because the leap between Contra and Father may make people think they’re NOT missing an even more drastic evolution of sound that occurred between Contra and Modern Vampires, an album that might prove to be an anomaly in their discography.

Edit: I don’t mean to suggest that Father will be a step backwards, because I think it’s going to be FAR from that; but whereas this may prove to be a record that just as easily could have followed Contra, Modern was, to me anyway, a total surprise from a band whose previous sound could have easily had kept them in a corner.

 

This Is Life gives me heavy Would It Kill You? Vibes.

Imagine HGB and VW touring together

 

digging the two new songs

 

Love love love Rostam, but the band has already proven 6 times over that they are just as great without him

 

5 times

 

Rude

 

He’s involved with Harmony Hall!

 

Haha oh. Yeah that was over my head haha

 

this ain’t it chief
