26. Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend (2008)
This album could soundtrack a Wes Anderson film. It's so bright and breezy, it could sail all day, sailing its own little ship, docking into the port of New Jersey, not giving a regard for an Oxford Comma. Yea it's a real hoot, it's like a student party where rich kids party because they are safe in the knowledge that they're bright, they're not arrogant, just privileged and you can't blame them. If you gave a Mcdonalds worker the offer of a scholarship at Yale, they'd probably take it, not that they'd be able to hack the assignments, they should be able to hack the pace though as they have to serve up Whoppers and wash their hands to the bell at lightspeed. Whoppers, whoops that's Burger King. This album is a whopper, but it's not greasy, it's not that meaty either, but it's addictive like fast food can be. It is fast too, zips by in just over half an hour and you're left wanting more, more, more. Vampire Weekend galore!
