untiliwakeup Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I just honestly have never heard of complaining about the FONT of an album cover before is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Tea Papi Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I just honestly have never heard of complaining about the FONT of an album cover before is all. If I get this on vinyl that's 12'in of this cover. which is about 4'in of that ugly ass font. So yes, we are complaining.

gud Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 wow. we're not even complaining about the first released single here. we're complaining about a font? i saw it and thought: what a cool shot of NYC! check out that fog! vampire's in a city. ooooh. i see! but i guess some people never liked Star Wars because of that ridiculous font they used.

booms528 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I think there's a good 50% chance it'll be a sticker and not actually a part of the cover. It wouldn't make sense to have the cover layout be so similar to the first 2 albums but all of a sudden throw the title on there, especially that pronounced. We'll see.

SpazzyMcGee Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I like it. It's always nice to actually like the music after you've preordered it. Had a few where I ordered too soon, then had to cancel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Tea Papi Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 It's like a beefed up vampire weekend sound with more production put into it something i'd expect from Alt-j. But I love it so much I love well produced music so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 i'm not going to listen to any of this because i think they made a huge mistake putting the album title on the cover. i can't forgive them for the direction they decided to go in with this release. edit: he said, sarcastically.

booms528 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I LOVE Step. Helps that I'm from Oakland/Alameda! Being from Massachusetts, I know exactly what you mean. Half of the first album was just that much more fun to sing along to. lemongoat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booms528 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Just received the following email from XL: Due to production issues Vampire Weekend's upcoming album Modern Vampires of The City will be released on May 14, one week later than originally announced. I'm not sure if it means just the vinyl, or all physical releases, or all releases period. I'd hope that they'd still let it drop on iTunes on 5/7, but who knows.

Curious if it works like movies, the new Superman movie for example got moved back because the hobbit came out. Granted it's only a week though for VW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr. sincere Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 This is probably because of the Beatles albums, the 9/11 of vinyl production. firefoxUSSR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
