A few months ago, both Rolling Stone and Spin featured this hot new band called Vampire Weekend, on their covers. As a jaded music industry veteran, I read the articles about how great this new band was and even though I knew they probably sucked, just like 90% of the other "next big thing" bands, I decided to reserve a copy through my local library.
A few weeks later, I picked up the CD, popped it into my CD player and my immediate reaction was, "what is this?" It wasn't what I was expecting and it wasn't like anything I had ever heard before, and I've listened to just about every style of music you can imagine. I wasn't really sure if I liked it but it was intriguing enough that I kept returning to it. After a couple of days of listening, it became the best CD I had heard in a long, long time. Now, several months later, I'm a bigger fan than ever, and like I said, I'm jaded. I hate everything.
So the fact that I'm endorsing a band should not be taken lightly. Go to your source for new music immediately and buy their CD. Do it. Now. You'll thank me later.

What's a CD? I haven't bought one in years.
You can listen to the whole CD legally for free
...and then buy the MP3's WITHOUT DRM.
...and yes you are correct. The album does NOT suck.
