Spotify playlist for "All 67 Vampire Weekend Songs (So Far) Ranked" — some covers and Japan exclusives weren't available so we included the original. Father of the Bride is an album without many bops, so “Sympathy” stands out, with intense backing vocals and a rhythm section that moves. A fun cover of the 1964 Honeycombs single, featuring some nice bass work from Chris Baio. The song’s pretty good too, pleasing and jazzy, though “My Mistake” and “How Long?” capture the same feeling more effectively. Little did I know that, a decade later, I would be just as excited for the new Jonas Brothers album as I would for the latest Vampire Weekend. “Unsentimental,” begins one of their more sentimental moments — a “Lonely Planet Boy” or “There is a Light That Never Goes Out” for people who can afford cab fare but still have nowhere to go. An obnoxious call-response hook and a lyric that goes all in on Koenig’s exoticism, ending on one of my favorite lines: “Oh how your collegiate grief has left you/Dowdy in sweatshirts/Absolute horror!”. still, I have no idea what they're talking about, hahaha. — is a minor entry in a band’s discography, they may have reached godlike status.
