Arms Way is so much more important than anything Vampire Weekend has ever done. RTTS was mediocre at best, but Arms Way was incredibly sincere and an antithesis to this superficial indie crap.
Substance...honesty...compassion?? You wrote songs about being born as a fucking unicorn. What a pretentious statement. And btw, you have NO right to criticize another band by wearing those ridiculous sunglasses. Pot calling the kettle black.
If you honestly use that song as an accurate depiction of this man's ability to write a compassionate song full of substance, you're an idiot. That song wasn't a serious one, and I suggest that you listen to more than one of his songs before you criticize his ability to write a good song. Which he can do, by the way; Nick Thorburn is amazing. By my standards at least.
those ridiculously slamming sunglasses have nothing to do with his right to criticize other bands. plus, you are talking about the unicorns, which are completely different from islands, so maybe you should take a listen to islands before saying such words.

I don't think Nick is ever serious in interviews.

Sincere?
He takes forever to say nothing.
Vampire Weekend just want to sing and play upbeat songs. Not everything has to be artsy and moving.

I thought Arms Way was the shit one and RTTS was the genius one.
I think we can both agree though that they are better than Contra. Or anything by Vampire Weekend for that matter.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Nick is such a dick.
He's just jealous of Vampire Weekend's success compared to his shitty Arms Way. Nobody needs 11 minute songs about nothing.

he hates vampire weekend sooo much. he's right but he's got to be a little bitter about the success vampire weekend has had compared to Islands.

probably feels bad he was hit by the ugly stick...maybe that's why he wears them silly glasses.
if he knows what he's on about why does he stutter and repeat himself like 10 times..he should really get a life
