Vampire Weekend - Father Of The Bride (May 3, 2019) Album • Page 47

same. I don’t listen to their other albums anymore but I throw this on occasionally.

 

Never clicked for me

 

FOTB is easily their best but idk how it's more straightforward than MVOTC, which is their second best

 

There is a ton of experimentation on MVOTC. Definitely a weirder album than FOTB. They p much dropped all the chamber pop vibes and vocal effects after Rostam left

 

experimentation yes. songwriting structure and, like, just the stuff they’re playing on guitar and bass, not really

 

I prefer MVOTC. I like FOTB but it’s my not in my top two from them.

 

Modern Vampires is my least favorite fo shooo

 

I love all four albums almost equally but if I had to choose FOTB is actually my least favorite

 

gasp

MVOTC
FOTB

Come at me

all 4 are great

 

i don’t think i’ve ever agreed with a tdlyon post

 

MVOTC
Contra
FOTB
VW

both Rostam albums could probably fit in there below MVOTC

 

Vampires
VW
Contra
FOTB

 

The highs of FOTB are undeniable and I love probably half that record to death but it feels like a different band and one that hits as such. Hard to rank above Contra which is like 30 straight minutes of non-miss electricity that aligns so much more with what I look for musically on any given day

 

those little crazy fast-picked moments on the second verse of “giving up the gun” immediately jump to mind as something we won’t get from them anymore but who knows

guess I just miss Rostam like the rest of us

love them all though. really want to see them live again, the FOTB tour was wild

 

as I’ve grown older I’ve realized my issue with jam bands stands on no real ground so I’ve tried to lighten up and not be such a dick, but vampire weekend to me was always a pinnacle of succinctness and trimmed fat structure-wise, so I definitely have recoiled somewhat at their newfound exploratory nature. Maybe that’s on me to change lol

 

Contra is my favorite by a mile but I love them all. FOTB took me a little while to come around to, but excited for whatever’s next.

 

I love FOTB it’s just a little bloated for me

 

MVOTC
FOTB
Contra
VW

this is a very easy ranking imo

 

I think they’re all close to equally good. I love Rostam, both his solo stuff and the flourishes he brought to the first three albums, but I really don't miss him on FOTB as much as I expected.

definitely feels like a different band without rostam. and i like rostam’s solo stuff a lot. just like this VW without a bit more than when he was in the band

Likewise now that I think about it
