weird.

i can see how they'd create a buzz i guess. there are some fun songs on this album.

Oh you dick.

they're no gaslight anthem.

not by light years

holy shit were they bad at Coachella.

I dunno, in a small dosage (the EP) it was tolerable, but I can't get through the whole thing, its a bit too sugary...some songs are great though.

I recall that they have at least one song on xmu, and that it annoys me, but I cannot recall WHICH of the few annoying songs in their rotation is by Passion Pit. Perhaps the rest of the album is good, but whatever that song is, it made me walk over to read who it was by, so that I could more properly direct my dislike.

i can pretty much tell which members of the board are gonna like this and which aren't.

I liked MGMT well enough.

Yeah, just turn them over and check their genitalia.

this is a lot more keyboard-y, fruity vocals than mgmt.

here's the video for sleepyhead, which i think is their best song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bfseWNmlds

it kinda reminds me of the avalanches.

this guy's voice sounds EXACTLY like the guy from The Velvet Teen...

I would probably give this a listen out of morbid curiosity...but the name Passion Pit is just about a deal breaker from the get go...

at least Radcliffe listened to it.

I've decided it's shit just by the comments and comparisons in this thread.

i'll bet crack loves this shit.

haha he's probably listening to it right now as he snorkels with porpoises.

in his baby blue speedo.

Catchy production, but not much of a pop song. I mean, i just listened to it, and i'm having trouble remembering any of the melodies, or where the dilineation between verse and chorus was. It could be because I was watching the video, which was pretty nifty.

Still, if that's the best song, i think it's lacking.

I stand by my appraisal that it sounds like someone going nuts with effects on GarageBand.

"better things" sounds like JUSTICE jr.

i'm not immediately put off by this stuff, but i'm not really latching on to a hook here either.

also, which one of you wrote this in the youtube comments section?:

"dude i can change my opinion whenever i want and its not just because everyone else likes it alright so take a chill pill because i was just trying to apologize for my behaviour also im really upset that you said i looked sad because it got deep deep down that some guy on the internet told me a facial expression that wasnt on my face and i would enjoy that you dont patrol these comments and rip apart every single thing someone says alright so chill"

That totally sounds like Harry.

hahaha. Ole Harry.

Also, that sleepyhead tune was just awful, and I am generally open to this sorta music. That tune didn't make me want to try and listen to any others of theirs.

One big, fat meh.

What I heard wasn't terrible, but I don't really want to hear any more.

They were fun live...saw them a year or so back

I downloaded this after all and am almost through my first listen.

I really can't tell if I'll end up hating this or if it has the possibility of growing on me.
