I've been listening to it.
"Cousins" is an amazing song hahah
But the rest of the album is alright, I'm gonna listen to it full through again.

Did you see their MTV Unplugged concert?
It's playing on mtv.com i think

Didn't like it that much, but it might grow on me. Only songs I liked were "White Sky" and "Giving Up The Gun"

 

[respect21]

"Diplomat's Son" was definitely my favorite song off the album.

 

[imsolesick]

Appreciated. They better be in Coachella.

Their first album was near perfect but I've been hearing this one hasn't been as good as the first. I like "Cousins" but "Horchata"is wack to me. I haven't heard it yet but I'll wait till it drops to go out and buy it.

 

[ripyzyz]

[vanillagorilladx]

I'll admit the album definitely grew on me.

 

[josh4523]

its definitly a decent record. really liking "cousins" at the moment.

 

[detrick177]

[ddot7]

I like it but I will say this...it's MUCH better live.

 

[kingramey]

i bought this last week and i didnt like it the first listen but the second time it definitely grew on me

 

[incredibleev]

love it. favs are Diplomats son, Holliday, White Sky, Cousins

 

[ripyzyz]

ANybody seen them live??

 

[callhimar]

They're %$%%@#$ amazing live. I hated them before I saw them. Just didn't enjoy their sound. After seeing them live I was completely blown away. They're just awesome and the music sounds way better.

BTW, Contra takes a few listens, but its fantastic.

 

[hella handsome]

i want. NAO!

ima pick it up and give it a listen

 

[addicted to exclusives]

Contra is a great album. I listen to every song, no skipping at all. My favorite song is RUN for sure. The thing about VW is that their songs is always building it never stays the same.

 

[ripyzyz]

I think ur a Contra is my favorite song followed by Cousins

 

[vezon]

White Sky is absolute crack. everything else on the album was forgettable.
