Who could forget the 5-star Rolling Stone review for the EPIC Mick Jagger masterpiece, Goddess in the Doorway?

By the way, the thread title has the wrong album title AND release date.

Yep, that was awful and rare as well.

Didn't that album sell like 12,000 copies or something? I remember it had ridiculously low sales figures.

Well, I sampled the album yesterday. I'm a big fan of the band and I've got to say....I think its the best thing they've ever done. It's going to be the first actual CD I've bought in about a year. Very very very good stuff.

Vampire Weekend is the musical guest on SNL this weekend.

Looking forward to it. I'm getting into them now and I'm very impressed.

I really LOVE this album. It will be a first day purchase for me.

Yeah, this album is pretty great. I friggin' LOVE Diane Young.

I like many songs on this album, but it's no better than the 2nd one. Not even close to the debut.

Enjoyed the first two records a lot but this one is just something else. Love it

I listened to all 3 of their albums back to back to back. All 3 are really good albums. The new albums is little different than their previous work. That Ya Hey song can easily get stuck in the head.

Well Pitchfork gives it a 9.3.

I've always been kind of "take them or leave them" about Vampire Weekend. VW and Contra were good enough but never really grabbed me. Modern Vampires of the City is just fantastic though. Like the poster above, I friggin' love Diane Young.

I wonder how long until they unpublish that review?

I'm still on the fence. First listening left me disappointed. Second listen, much less so. Since then, LOVE Unbelievers. Odd choice on the opening track. There are a few duds here (Everlasting Arms?).

This hasn't shown up on Spotify yet, and I'm getting annoyed...

Picked up the white vinyl today and listened to it a couple of times already. I think its really good but, if you hate their first two albums, I wouldn't imagine you would like this one.

Not on Rdio either. WTF?

First listen today for me found it frightfully dull. To many mid-tempo and slow tunes - and not enough energy to it. Luckily it was a friend's copy I heard, as now that I have, I think I'll be passing on it.

I don't care for the band but I can tell you that we are selling the hell out of it at my store.

I'll put that together for you.

On first listen it's not what I expected, which is good. It's very good actually.

FYI "Diane Young" is the free song of the day today at the Google Play music store.

I'd agree. I'd say there are 4 or so quality VW songs and a bunch of dullards.

Good album, but not a masterpiece by any means. Of course Pitchfork had to blow their load over it.

over at MetaCritic, the album has 39 positive out of 43 reviews.
