I think this is brilliant. Have listened over and over and still can't get enough. You uncover something new with every spin. Love the progression of tunes throughout. This is melody after melody of pure exuberance but once you delve into Angelakos' lyrics (poetry) you discover a brilliant, creative mind. Not just a run of the mill album with a bunch of fillers. Every tune rates! Great writing!… Expand

After a couple of plays this album just becomes irresistible with its subtle and hypnotic electro-pop touch. Highly recommended.

This album was absolutely astounding...it provided a good rotation of songs in a feel good style, yet they can pull of something darker like The Reeling and it still sounds great. Pure genius.

The album is undeniably catchy and the lyrics are a step above the traditional electro-indie fare. It's accessible enough to play at any party while deep enough to play for yourself when you're alone just looking to have something profoundly enjoyable enter your ears.

Don't listen to this expecting musical genius, because you'll be disappointed. But if you're wanting an album full to the brink with fun, catchy, upbeat songs, this is for you. From start to finish, each second of Manners is pure unadulterated pop bliss.

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

Simply stunning! The Reeling has been constantly playing in my mp3 for the past summer.

An amazing album. I'm surprised by the hate or dislike of some people. It's interesting the types of bands that people will flock to but the great ones will get shunned or be just shy of being called brilliant. Either way, an amazing album.

Superb stuff. These guys are the next big thing. Real deal kinda stuff.

Brilliant album. Absolute genius. The lyrics are spectacular, and the drumming is second to none.

Passion Pit's debut album Manners is a wonderful little album. Every song sounds great. It's just so different from the mainstream stuff they have today. The drumming is also something that sounds great. The singer's voice sounds a little too high but All In All, Manners has great tracks and it's a great sound. B+

Amazing drum lines, especially in the song "Little Secrets". Overall it's an awesome album. However, I do feel like the singer over strains his voice a little. Very catchy beats and great use of electronics though. A solid listen for anyone looking for happy, energetic music.

This will dig its way into your brain, featuring some of the hookiest synth-rock I've ever heard. Passion Pit's use of a real, live drummer instead of programmed beats adds a great layer to the sound and makes it more human and listenable. The layered synths perfectly complement the sky-high falsetto vocals to give the listener a feeling that everything, at least for the moment, is going to be OK. If it wasn't for the over-use of children's choir backing vocals, I'd rate this even higher.… Expand
