Year in Rock 2013 Nominee: Vampire Weekend

VAMPIRE WEEKEND
Diane Young
From: Modern Vampires Of The City
Released: May 14

It's hard to pass proper judgment on an album like Vampire Weekend's so close to its release date; the promotional cycle for Modern Vampires Of The City was hard and fast, a barrage of lyric videos, webcasts, and other assorted performances and previews. Upon release, I opined that it couldn't possibly live up to the hype no matter how good it was. Now, six months removed from its marketing campaign, MVOTC can be taken on its own merits. And I'm happy to report that, six months removed from its marketing campaign, MVOTC lives up to the hype.
