Contra

I didn’t really enjoy Contra as much as I thought I would. All the bright, afropop inspired instrumental quirks I loved about Vampire Weekend’s self-titled debut are still there, and it’s not as if the songs are bad, but they aren’t really captivating me like their first album did. It’s odd, they feel… a bit limp, like they need more of a punch to them. Maybe they’ll grow on me if I revisit the album.
