Affecting a clarity and delight that pleases the many and confounds the some, their lyrically alluring, structurally hop-skip-and-jumping songs aren't deep. They're just thoughtful fun.
-
This is a magnificent debut, filled with endless melodies, memorable hooks and plenty of toe-tapping moments.

VibeVampire Weekend have suceeded in putting the hips back in hipster. [Mar 2008, p.98]
-
Cosmopolitan, anglophile, afrobeat--Vampire Weekend are in an Ivy League of their own.
-
Listeners are only too lucky to get a hot breath of summer fun in these cold winter months.
-
On their debut, Vampire Weekend mostly earn points the old-fashioned way: by writing likable songs you'll be glad to revisit next month.
-
Fun and fresh enough on the first couple listens, it remains to be seen whether Vampire Weekend can find long-term favour with the listeners and critics so taken with them at present.
