So I chose Vampire Weekends first album that is simply named "Vampire Weekend." The main reason that I enjoy this album cover so much is because I believe that it accurately reflects the content of the bands work on this album and also ties into their climb to where their careers as musicians (As this was taken at a venue that they performed early in their careers). The majority of the songs on the album use a wide array of instruments that are common in classical music, which leads me to the connection with the chandelier. It seems like a victorian slash classy lifestyle. And I trust that I am not the only one that has this opinion of the light fixture. However, as I am in a frat here at the U I can tell you that this chandelier is attached to the ceiling of the same frat that I am in but at Hamilton College... So the Chandelier is probably made of plastic or is no more because of some drunk frat boy that decided it would be fun to hang from it. So even though this doesn't have anything to do with its aesthetic or utilitarian aspects of the album cover, its kind of cool! In addition to the mess above, the music that Vampire Weekend has produced on this album is very light and friendly. I think the orangey filter used was a good fit for this characteristic of the band and their music in that its a very pleasing and "easy on the eye" sort of appearance. Have a great day!
