I’ve gotta say that I wrote this record off after the first listen, which was hugely disappointing because I loved the EP. But, I gave the record another chance and was hooked immediately upon the second listen. Now, I’ve been listening to it on repeat all week. Love this album!

Passion Pit’s vocals and energy is so high. Little Secrets is my favourite of the ones I have heard so far. Bands who stream their whole albums on Myspace or whatever are great, giving us a nice legal way to try before we buy.

It took me a while to get into them, but I’d heard the hype and slowly feel in love with Sleepyhead.
Now that Manners is almost out I can firmly say I love the band and can’t wait to see them live. It’s nice to see they’re growing and exploring new instruments and sounds rather than just sticking with the old.
Great album and great band!

The first time I listened to this album reminded me of the first time I listened to Jukebox the Ghost’s album, especially the way I could not stop listening to “Good Day” and “Hold it In”. I have certainly enjoyed the whole of this album more so than ‘Let Lives & Let Ghosts’ and can’t help but smile every time I listen to it.

I’m smiling just thinking about it.

I have been anticipating the day of May 19th, but not because it’s my brother’s birthday. Passion Pit’s album’s drops that day, and what a glorious day it will be.

Thanks to last.fm, I gave this band a listen. Their ep was amazing with songs that I would play on repeat like ‘Better Things.’ But from the songs I’ve heard off of their new album, ‘Manners’ may even be better than their last release.

I was disappointed when I missed their performance in my town last fall, but I’ll make sure that will never happen again because this band is stellar.

Passion Pit is clearly going to break out into the world with this release. The album is amazing on all levels. Manners is a gift to our ears. This carefully crafted album has extremely powerful and meaningful lyrics. Michael Angelakos is a genius, and his voice is amazing. Some may argue that it is repetitive and annoying, but it makes me go wild.

From start to finish Mike proves that his band is not one that was over-hyped and then let down everyone with their debut LP. It is remarkable. Although The Reeling was chosen as the single, there are many songs that could fit as the single. Little Secrets is clearly one of them, but not close behind is To Kingdom Come which is followed by Moth’s Wings. Each song is unique in its own way and each song could easily be pumped through the airwaves throughout the entire summer.

I didn’t think I would find every song as great as they are. I thought there was going to be a few duds. Turns out I was wrong. Right off the bat, the album explodes into you. It doesn’t decline at any point. There are constant tracks coming right at you, every single one you could jump out of your chair and dance and sing-a-long to.

Manners is an experience everyone needs to have. It is carefully crafted and made to perfection. Layers of synths, children choirs and Mike’s high pitch falsetto vocals all fall directly in the right place.

If Passion Pit doesn’t get any bigger with this release, then I don’t know what can anymore.

I am extremely curious to see how the band adapts each of the tracks on Manners in front of a live audience. I, for one, will be waiting for the day that I get the gift to see them live.

Since I discovered this band last summer, I have been anticipating this day for their debut album. And many months later, here it is. The album will be banging throughout my house, car, where ever I go for a while.
I believe that Manners is an early candidate for album of 2009 and I really think it can be.

Fell in love with these guys after I downloaded Sleepyhead (saw the PSP commerical). The EP got me pretty psyched but the album is killer. Only It’s Blitz and Manners have been able to get me so psyched this year re: the music scene.

LOVE Sleepyhead. Played it everyday for the past couple of weeks. The Chunk of Change EP was pretty good overall, but I guess the only other song I really listened to was Cuddle Fuddle , shelving the other songs after hearing them twice. Kinda excited for this new album, Passion Pit is one of my favorite newest artists!

couldn’t wait for their second album after chunk of change.
i could listen to little secrets for days on repeat…
love passion pit, hometown pride!

I love their sound. I thought “Sleepyhead” might be a fluke, but “Little Secret” is even stronger to me so I’m really excited to see how their sound develops with time. They’re very bright and fresh right now so I wonder if they’ll mellow out or go more experimental. They go in a lot of unusual directions. It’s sort of indie pop with a twist. Love it.

It’s one of my most amazing discoveries of 2009, they are way beyond awesome. I keep burning CDs for every car I’m sitting in for more than 15 minutes. Gonna spread the sound *g Well, amazing, can’t say more.

I love it for the 15 minutes it grabs me, but then trail off in attention. Best in small doses.

A truly excellent album! One of the best albums I have heard all year, and there have been some really good ones so far. Personal favorite tracks are Moth’s Wings, Make Light, Seaweed Song, and of course Little Secrets. After listening to this album and their EP, I just can’t wait to see them in concert next weekend.

A fun album, and it really makes me want to go see them live (they come to a city near me June 4th!). I can’t wait to actually buy the physical album though. A lot of bands disappoint on their first album after a great EP, but this was not the case with Passion Pit, the debut was just as good as the Chunk of Change EP.

Overall a very strong album in my opinion. Very catchy and fun to listen to while still maintaining a rich, quality sound. Also, I think Little Secrets might be the best song I’ve heard all year…

Damn good album. I’m kinda embarrassed to love music from a guy that sings like a girl on helium. Completely different from what I usually listen to but it’s just so addictive.

Any else find Little Secrets to be extremely catchy?
