    I didn't hate this album, but I wanted to love it, It's best track is actually one of my personal favorites, "Eyes". It's high points are without a doubt some of the best pop songs I've ever heard, I wanted to reach for it. But when you get to "Spank" and "A Wolf In Geek's Clothing", you'll get the message.

    It's infectious, and though the album is heavy in inspirational debt, Passive's highs are tantalizing enough to lure you to come for a bright-eyed joyride.

    Passive Me, Aggressive You is novel and refreshing, even with overt pop influences.

    But for all their obvious influences, they're as youthfully exuberant as MGMT and surely no band has used echo quite so deftly since interesting-period Jesus ANd Mary Chain. [Apr 2011, p.104]
