Well at least the album cover isn’t as lame as the last two album covers lol.
You thought the album cover for the last album was lame?
the last covers were NOT LAME. this one is different and i think that the songs will be different too. and they didn’t use a polaroid so that made me sad haha
Yeah, I’m with Jacob. But this album cover is dope. I think it aludes to how epic the music is gonna be.
The cover’s pretty awesome but I can’t get behind the album title.
Thank you, I was wondering if I was the only one, cause I get that they are ‘Vampire’ Weekend, but you really don’t have to include it at every chance you get.
I created an account just to inform you that this is literally the only time they have ever used the word “vampire” in an album title. It has never been used in one of their song titles. And hell, I’m pretty sure they’ve never even used the word as a lyric in one of their songs.
Except their first album was self titled, so the name was literally Vampire Weekend. But I do agree that tyler saying they include it everywhere is pretty ridiculous since everything else you said was true.
Very true Danny. I was omitting their s/t album from consideration, but you’re correct when it comes down to semantics.
I hope u are joking
kljouewghgvbsakjvbadsjgfhaksfka!!!
I can’t wait.
So far listening to ‘Unbelievers’ and ‘Everlasting Arms’ live I think it’s gonna be a good record so I’m excited. Not liking the name, though. Not one bit.
“Diane Young”, the album’s first single is going to have its radio premiere on March 18th (next Monday!!!) Really looking forward to it.
Meanwhile, Enzra Koening is featured in Major Lazer’s new single for their orthcoming album “Free The Universe”, out 16th April. Listen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fDei3SkrEQY

Sounds pretty good eh?
They delayed the release a week, it now comes out 5/14/13 :(
I likes the vocal manipulations in Diane Young/Step but I don’t know about the chipmunks in ‘Hey Ya’….

Though chipmunks are really trendy nowadays
I love Vampire Weekend!
Shut up eddie
:(
A bit surprised this hasn’t leaked yet. Can’t wait any longer!!
The info needs to be edited, the album actually comes out May 14th.
I’m pretty excited about this, seems like it’s been awhile since their last release. Diane Young was pretty good, I did like the vocal manipulations, haven’t heard any other tracks yet.
Very surprised it hasn’t leaked yet.

Vampire weekend playing at American Express Unstaged, they are playing some songs off MVOTC: Ya Hey, Diane Young, Step, Everlasting Arms and Unbelievers.
I really want to liste to the studio versions. I know they said May 14th but I thought that was for the physical copies. Aren’t the digital copies still going to be available may 7?
Nope, iTunes says that the release date is May 14th
Diane Young & Step are up at the pirate bay
They just released “Ya Hey”
this album is definitely gonna have a much different sound compared to the first two.

Australian radio station, Triple J, has aired studio versions such as “Unbelievers,” “Everlasting Arms,” and “Hudson.” The radio rips are spreading fast. Plus, some people have received notification that their copies have been sent already.
Full leak in a few days, one way or the other. /Shwing!
