Only God Was Above Us

by Vampire Weekend

After a couple of weeks of listening to this album, I can finally say this is my favorite in their discography. It's their most mature and honest LP, using a raw master to add to the authenticity similarly to Fiona Apple's Fetch The Bolt Cutters. Each song serves a purpose and builds a narrative of how whacky life can be. While there may not be any pop hits like in prior records, it's really a beautiful continual build-up.
