Vampire Weekend - Only God Was Above Us (April 5, 2024) • Page 10

I still think capricorn is the best of the new tracks

 

OK so not trying to be a downer here, but the drum track during the verses doesn't just SOUND like "Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in my Hand" by Primitive Radio Gods, it basically IS that drum track. Am I wrong?!??

 

I really do like how noisy this record is shaping up to be.

 

I mean I’m not going to compare the two but full possible that it’s a sample or interpolation. Something they’ve done before.

 

This is a credited sample in the liner notes. Original sample is Boys II Men

 

Cool thanks for clearing that up!

 

Apologies - I meant Soul II Soul, not Boys II Men lol. Back to Life.

 

4/4. unless frank ocean releases an album this year (lol) it's hard to see a world where this isn't my aoty.

 

Mary Boone is the VW magic I've been waiting for - best single by a country mile

 

Yea Mary Boone is it. This LP is shaping up to be MVOTC but, like, happier?

 

Great catch! I've always loved this song so their sampling of the drums makes me smile

 

Easily one of the best one hit wonders of the 90s !

 

I just screamed “whoo!” when that beat dropped

 

When it does, I’m reminded of the bridge for Hannah Hunt in that I wish it lasted so much longer

 

oh shit this is the one.

 

Gah I really want to hold off on this one

 

Holy fuck I used to hear this song all the time as a kid and did again a few years ago and was never able to find it, thank you for posting this

This song is so fucking cool

 

Drip drip

 

this opener, godDAMN

happy easter to us

 

Not sure how I felt about Connect but Prep-School Gangsters is a perfect VW song.

 

Ooooh I'll listen tomorrow!

 

This shit goes insanely hard. Ezra's Abbey Road.

 

Mary Boone giving big-time Hannah Hunt Vibes. Love it. On the second Vampire Campfire, they all agreed we have not yet heard the best songs on the album. Not going to listen to any of the previously released songs or any new ones until the release. cannot wait to hear it.

 

Wow yeah it's special. Love this band.

 

holy shit Ice Cream Piano is a hell of a way to start an album
