The album was a critical and commercial success, going on to be voted into the top 500 albums of all time by Rolling Stone magazine in 2012, and the quartet (singer and guitarist Ezra Koenig, bassist Chris Baio, keyboard player Rostam Batmanglij, drummer Chris Thomson) were quickly accepted into the classic pantheon. The 2010 follow-up Contra met with similar acclaim and success, with a third album, Modern Vampires of the City, released in early 2013.
