Damn man, that's good writin' right there.

Just put Vampire Weekend's Contra on there. Yes, I'm don't take myself seriously enough to dislike Vampire Weekend. I like Contra better than the self-titled, even.
(side note, top of 2009 is on there as well now)

Interesting take on the album. It didn't really work for me because it stripped away a lot of what I liked about the debut (mostly, the percussion) for more traditional electronic pop sounds, but I definitely agree that it's a fun album.
The whole "they're rich so people don't like them" straw man is a little tired, though. I can't count on my hands the number of reviews I've read referring to how people don't like them for this reason, and I'm yet to actually read a review or hear someone express an opinion along those lines. I feel like a music mag made an off-the-cuff comment when their first album was released and its been conflated into this big thing... but maybe I'm just not well-read enough on the subject (I do recall Nick Diamonds' scathing attack on the band, but the gist of that was mostly "jesus guys stop ripping off Graceland")
Koremora:
Most of the people who I have heard express this opinion don't write reviews.
