Insanity! If you don't like VW's old stuff then fair enough, but this is a big step forward for them, and there have got to be at least 4 songs on this album that are instant modern classic's IMO... Drowned In Sound gave it 9/10 too in the UK, to add to your list!

Album of the year so far for me too!

Ya Hey is definitely my favourite song of 2013 so far, I'm pretty sure the album might top the 2013 league too :)

@thesunneversets OH SNAP. Most of the reviews I'm finding are great, except NWE... it's not a bad review, but I with some of their critiques. Especially, "They’ve undeniably lost something that made them special in the first place." SO FALSE. - http://drownedinsound.com/releases/17635/reviews/4146388 - http://www.nme.com/reviews/vampire-weekend/14409

@rvleonard The only weak song on the entire album for me is 'Worship You'
