Blog Fight!!! Brooklyn's Vampire Weekend's eponymous new album has caused a firestorm of content and discontent and other kinds of tents all over the BLOGOSPHERE.
A sampling of the feelings:

Pitchfork: "8.8 out of 10"
Underground Online: "A"
Rolling Stone: "3 1/2 Stars"
Newsday: "B+"
PrefixMag.Com: "8.0 out of 10"
The hubbub has been mostly positive, and it looks as if we have found the Indie saviors of the year...maybe.
I will post my review of it today or tomorrow, or maybe just sometime in the near future. I was going to review it today, but I realized that I had downloaded, instead of the album, some sort of song collection in the form of the album with the song "Boston" replacing "M79", as well as "I Stand Corrected" not being there at all.
I realized the mistake after a friend pointed out the tracklisting on their website.
The thing is, I have absolutely no idea what "Boston" is from. I love the song so much and wish it was on the regular album, so I'm going to post it here for all to enjoy. If you know what it's from, feel free to comment on my ignorance.
mp3: "Boston"
and from the regular album:
mp3: "Bryn"
mp3: "I Stand Corrected"
I like this.
