2 out of 5 stars Like drinking three litres of Evian   July 21, 2010
S. Matthews (Mainz, Germany)
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

There are 99 reviews of this disc on Amazon, so I am not sure why I am bothering. Anyway, it is a complete mystery to me why so many people seem to like this; it is the musical equivalent of drinking three and a half litres of Evian - it made me feel vaguely queasy.

This is basically 'Europe' for people who would die of embarrassment if anyone found a copy of 'The Final Countdown' under their copy of Wallpaper.



3 out of 5 stars A fair review of a fair cd   July 2, 2010
You Don't Know (Phoenix, AZ)
I was impressed with the band's last offering and like everyone else I was anxious for Contra. I was a little concerned when I saw the reviews averaging 4 stars from a band that has a strong following. Now that I have heard this cd many times I see why. It is good but not great. I think 3 stars is probably a more fair assessment. You really don't have those big hits like the last album, nor is it as deep. If you are a Vampire Weekend fan than go for it just don't expect too much.

5 out of 5 stars Music Monday : Vampire Weekend, Contra   June 21, 2010
Boniquea Matthews (Norfolk, Va USA)
...I actually found this group through some banner ads in one of my iPod Touch apps. After a few days of ignoring it, I decided to do a Google search on the group. From there, I watched a couple of their videos on Youtube, and knew I had to own the album for myself. What a splendid surprise! Every song tells its own story, but the track layout brings them all together. This post-folk California summer sound blends live instruments, catchy melodies, and the lead singer's nostalgic voice with modern lyrics, and a couple of subtle references to late hip hop legend, Notorious B.I.G. on title track, Contra.

I can't tell you what to listen to, but feel free to GET ADDICTED to the Vampire Weekend album, Contra.
