Yeah, I got a leaked copy last week, and have been enjoying it. At their worst, they still sound a bit too much like U2, but at their best they still have a ramshackle energy and a marvellous collection of instruments. Less 'filler' than the preceding albums, too.

Oh, and the second to last track, 'Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)' is a revelation!

Utterly forgettable on first listen.

I plan on giving it more time, though.

Really enjoyed subsequent listens.

Considering getting tickets to see them, Vampire Weekend and Devendra Banhart in December.
