The new Vampire Weekend is out. And it completely blows. Like, really sucks. I don't say this because I hated the first album or hate the band. The first album was fine, and I could give two shits about Vampire Weekend. But damn, Contra is just crap. From the opening strands of "Horchata," this album just makes you want to kill yourself, lest you have to sit through more of this shit. To be fair, "Run" isn't completely terrible. Every other song on this album will make you want to cut your eardrums out with a rusty screwdriver.
If you want world music combined with rock, listen to anything Paul Simon has ever done. Or listen to The Very Best's Warm Heart of Africa. Just please, please don't listen to Contra.
