    Dude I didn’t think this album would get any better for me but it somehow has. This thing is a modern indie rock classic in my eyes and I think it’s growing more and more into my favorite vampire weekend album.

Some of their weirdest and daring ideas are on here and they pay off in flying colors. Seriously an incredible album.
