Not for Vampire Weekend. From what I’ve heard this album sounds effortless. Vampire Weekend are one of the great left over bands from the new music internet craze of the 21st century. They have released their second album called Contra earlier on this week.

Their second album still has the unmissable catchy rhythms that seep into your mind and the cute sharp lyrics but they have also grown and developed into mature rock musicians.

The band certainly haven’t changed direction or turned a new path musically at all, but that a great thing in term of a band like Vampire Weekend. Who’s sound is still new and untouched by any other artist other than Vampire Weekend. There sounds cool, edgy and weird yet still allowing it to be poppy enough to make a main streams music impact.

This new album has changed and been tweaked enough to sound new and interesting without becoming untrue to Vampire Weekends first self titled debut album. All together I would say Vampire Weekend have made a Solid follow up and I think not only will this album make an impact but it is only the beginning of a great band who will stand the test of time.

So what do you think, have they moved there sound on enough or too much. Do you like the album?
