real great album with several great songs, a few amazing ones too. best of all, none that i hated. which is good

I'm not quite sure about these guys, but they definitely have a cool sound.

................

This is music. Not ultra flamboyant and flashy. Not killing the bass, or chock full of undecipherable lyrics. The album is full of colorful yet simplistic songs, each one just as good as the other. Buy the whole album; I can guarantee you, iTunes store browser, that you will not be dissapointed.

I love every single song on this album. With their crisp, cool, catchy sound, Vampire Weekend has captured my heart, mind, and soul. The music being so inspiring and dazzling... I don't think I'll ever break away. This is simply perfect. ♥

i don't really know their music but i love 'holiday' i think i heard it on a car commercial...lol

First off,as some ppl are saying,there's is a lot of similarity between their first album and this one,but this one just seems to be a little more fine tuned in my opinion ;) Then there is a lot of ppl who are talking about how they "stole" Paul Simon's song Proof.While I do hear the similarities,I would't say they "STOLE" it.Besides that's MUSIC,hello!That's what artist do,they always have influences,and ppl they are influenced by,duh!And if your REALLY a REAL music scholar,then you would know that Paul Simon CANNOT be credited for that style of music,but AFRICAN artist.If you don't believe me check out Pombi by Bhundu Boys,Or the Beat of Soweto (CD),or a Johnny Clegg CD. :)

This album does not have the zing of a standout song that their first album did, but I think it might be more solid all the way through.

Vampire Weekend rocks!!!! Love all the songs, but thanks to iTunes I cannot listen to all 11 tracks. I purchased the whole album but only 7 songs are on my iPhone. WTF!!!! I want my 4 songs iTunes!!!!!!!!

This has a very summery, upbeat feel: I was driving along the coast and it was absolutely perfect as a soundtrack. A lot of the individual tracks I like (the first, Horchata, is especially catchy), but for me the real appeal is how well the album works as a whole.

So I really think Vampire Weekend should come out with some more new superb-ness for my ears. I love their music dearly.

When I listen to Vampire Weekend, I hear a true artist. Vampire Weekend knows what they are and how to use what they know to make something amazing. Contra defied all my expectations, to be what I think to be the best album of the year. My personal favorites are California English, Cousins, and Diplomat's Son. Just buy it now!

First album is MUCH BETTER! Although this one is pretty good! Amazing live! But I hate how popular they are getting.. Especially holiday! WTF? Stupid commercials..

All of the tracks are in 4/4 time at around 150 beats per minute, so it keeps moving, but there's not really much going on. There are a lot of little quirky drum loops, and they're cool for a second but the novelty wears off quick. The singer is doing his best Paul Simon impression, go back and listen to Paul Simon from the late 70's and 80's it's like this but with better lyrics.

This is album is great. This is better then the first album! Don't just buy a song, buy the whole CD!!!

I LOVE this album so much! I can't stop listening.

if your new to vampire weekend like me, dont buy the whole album, a couple songs are good like taxi cab and cousins, but others are not worth it

If the Talking Heads and Elvis Costello had a baby...

Go ahead, don't be afraid. Even though you may want her to, the girl on the cover doesn't bite, and neither does the record. A great album and looking for more.

This is a great improvement from the exceptional debut album. It has a great atmosphere and musical style. Vampire Weekend is the F Scott Fitzgerald of the music industry. Standout tracks are taxi cab, run, giving up the gun, and diplomat's son, but all the songs are great.

Even tho the lyrics don't make much sense as a whole, the song is the best I have on my iPhone. The rhythm of the song is the best part, I love it.

I hate how "Holiday" is being used in every third Christmas commercial this season. It's not even about Christmas.

Love it love it love it especially horchata (love California English<3)

awesome album but that commercial completely ruined the song Holiday for me

this cd is a nice change up to have when all other music starts to sound the same & when the radio plays the same song for the 100th time that day.

The best include 1:Horchata5/5 SO relaxing Ezras' (the lead singer) voice is so soothing 2:White Sky5/5 this song makes me get up and begin dancing like there is no tomorrow 3Holiday4/5 quite upbeat love to sing to it 4:California English4/5 Auto tune usually is awful but something about it just feels good in this song one of my favorites 5Cousins5/5 The kicker of the album this songs strongly resembles A-punk from the last album 6:Giving up the gun5/5 This songs what got me listeing to this album i strongly recommend buying this if anything These are the strongest songs in the album they really show off what vampire weekend is truly capable of Thanx for reading

Horchata is a great open to the album. A little funky at times(CALIFORNIA ENGLISH), but overall great album

This Is amazing in an album.

Best indie band... EVA! Also: You can get Horchata off their website 4 free.

I love alllll of the songs on contra except maybe taxi cab.... But the rest are just amazing :) just buy the whole album :) :) :)

I can tell just what you want and u want to be alo-o-one and u want to be a-lo-o-o-ne Dododo dododo dodododo dodo dododododo dododo dodo do WHAT SONG IS THIS!!?!!! I'm dying here I need to know I heard it In hollister like two years ago now I CAN'T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD!!! THANK U STEVE !!!!

Epic. i dont use that word much but this album deserves it. My favorite songs right now are: California English, Diplomat's Son and Horchata. Amazing

The first album was so much better, I still like it, but I hope they don't stray away from their first style

Fun, whimsical, and thoughtful all at the same time.

Like their first album, Contra will keep you entertained and happy. Contra is not too different from Vampire Weekend but it is better in my opinion. If you like good, happy alternative that trys to stay original you will like vampire weekend.

Vampire weekend is one of the best indie rock bands out there with energy in the genre not seen since 2004 however this album seems to have a problem many indie rock bands have which is falling into indie pop which a problem it's just it doesnt have the same appeal it did as rock has a very didn't taste the pop music. Overall great band, great music just the first album much better

This album is such a very relaxing and fun album from 2010. I absolutely love it. A must buy album!

Wow! I had no idea vampire weekend was this popular ! Horchata even comes out in hollister co. !!!

uckkk! this album is terrible! the instumental parts of this album sound like music from mario games, horrible vocals, and HOW IN PETE'S SAKE IS HORCHATA THE MOST POPULAR SONG ON THIS ALBUM????????????????????? i cant believe i got a genius recommendation on this album!

I absolutely love this album! Whenever I listen to it I am happy and it makes me extremely energetic. My four favorite songs are Horchata, Holiday, Cousins, and Giving Up the Gun. This has to be one of all time favorite albums that is sitting in my iTunes library as of now. Keep up the good work Vampire Weekend! P.S. I can usually write my college papers two times faster when I listen to this album. ;D It's that good.

I got the song holiday because i saw it on a commercial and I loved it! I also like diplomats son but I don't know If I like it enough to buy it. All the other songs... Ehh. If all of their songs were fast and catchy like holiday, I would have bought the whole album!

Omg! I love vampire weekend I saw them in concert! They are so amazing I soo wish I could have front row!! Even though I was in the back, at the concert, it was a great feeling knowing they were like yards away from me :) Ahhhh!!

lol this is that car commercial song! Holiday oh holiday...lol

That song is by two door cinema called what you know.

Take yo favorite album and legit times it by 69 and your lookin at contra. Its seriously a masterpiece. Sometimes I don't even think humans made it, its that good, kids. Like i never had drank horchata before this i heard this album because I dont drink, but i made some and it was so good. That made me like Contra even more. I even stayed up until midnight on November 30th so I could be the first one of the year to be "in decembah drinkin horchata". Legit I think i'm its biggest fan ever made. I think was born to listen to Contra and then just die like forreal its the best thing out there the rest of my life is going to be a let down.

Out of this world good. Start to finish, a legitimately great album.

Is a good song!

I don't know how anyone can listen to this crap. They play Peruvian wind flute rock. I would rather listen to the guy who only plays the flute (with some occasional chimes for ambiance) on the street than these guys.

This is quite possibly the best album i have ever heard in my entire life (aside from their first album). Every song offers something new, a new perspective on something. In fact, the first and seond time i heard "I Think UR a Contra" i cried, i was so touched. Keep up the good work, and come to Chicago sometime Vampire Weekend!

I would give vampire weekend 6 stars if I could. They r sooo awesome and they shud rlly b more popular cuz they have a lot more talent than ppl like Katy perry and Justin bieber!
