"Vampire Weekend use Futura not only on their cover of Contra, but also in their lyrics: "she never saw bombs exploded in 96 point Futura" (from "Holiday").

"Didn't like this at all at first listen, but there are a couple songs I liked, so by giving it the album a second chance I actually found Vampire Weekend's unique style quite enjoyable. Above average."
"One of those records you first think you'll love from the bottom of your heart but as it plays on, it begins to annoy you.
A shortish album with some nice pop songs but all the songs sound a bit samey which is very irritating in the long run.
Don't believe it stands the test of further listening."
