    Despite a couple of decent tracks, I found this overall to be quite a frustrating, grating listen.

  1. I could go song by song and come to the same conclusion with pretty much each one: the dedication to this carefree whimsy of youth ultimately stands as the most impressive thing about Passion Pit, and it wears thin quickly.
  2. Refreshingly free of pretensions and convolutions it's full of well-written songs with melody and fun at its big heart.

    Poptimist Michael Angelakos tried to hold onto his girlfriend with Passion Pit's first EP. That didn't work (blame the self-obsessed lyrics), but on his band's debut full-length, their squeaky indie-pop theatrics are more convincing.
