Parents need to know that the CD from a band that's getting all kinds of buzz includes several instances of "f--k" and "s--t," and a bit of product placement. Otherwise, the group's sound is clean, fresh, and world-music-influenced inclusive.
Positive messages:The presence of so many musical influences from all over the world lends a subtle message of inclusiveness.
This is a wonderful album. The only curses are on (in order): Oxford Comma (F word twice), Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa (F word once), and Walcott (S word once, F word twice). On Oxford Comma, they are used quickly, on Cape Cod, it is hard to understand, and on Walcott, they are heard easily (except for maybe the S word; I didn't pick upon it the first couple of times I listened to it). It's nothing an 11 year old hasn't heard before. Buy this album!
One of the best albums I have heard in a long long time.The group members are all ivy league english graduates so the music is written extremely cleverly.There are five times I can think of think of them using the f word on this album on the tracks Oxford Comma ( twice), Walcott (twice), and Cape Cod Kwasa Kwasa (once). It kinda amazes me that this site could find something wrong with even this artists work .
Vampire Weekend is one of my favorite bands. They're so different and fun, and their songs are very well written, catchy, and unique. :) Vampire Weekend is amazing♥
I love vampire weekend! Sure they swear sometimes, but they have a great intelligent songwriting ability, which make the music flow. The foul language is used smartly and to get an idea of how they feel about the idea. For example, "who gives a f*** about an Oxford comma?" this just works in the song and gives the idea of how they feel about Oxford commas. Also, when you hear these things in their songs, you feel the need to search about them, which could enhance your brain.The swears are said very fast, so hard to hear.
