I like Vampire Weekend, but from what I've heard (most of their first two albums), their songs all sound very very similar to me. I thought A-Punk was amazing when it was released first, but I got a little discouraged by each subsequent single, because I felt I was just hearing A-Punk again.

Oxford Comma is a great song though, and the video by Richard Ayoade is a nice bonus.

I'm not sure that they're that similar, there are a good number that share the sound but they have different melodies and everything, and that's only a certain number of the songs. And I really like the style anyway, so I don't mind.

Yeah, it's the similar sounds and arrangements that brought me to this conclusion. I'd still listen to them though.
