Anyone like them?

Passion Pit - Take a Walk

Passion Pit - Sleepyhead

Passion Pit - Little Secrets

Passion Pit - It's Not My Fault, I'm Happy

Really diggin' their recent album, Gossamer - Pitchfork Review

quote:

But Gossamer's music is meant to reflect its sense of encroaching panic, where you really feel like you'll explode if you don't figure out everything at once.

Passion Pit - Sleepyhead, Starsmith Remix ft. Elle Goulding

Wow, usually don't dig remixes but this is really good.

I don't support that remix, but Passion Pit is one of my favorite bands.

Good questions. Don't forget Chunk of Change; they got better from that, imo.

Manner is amazing but Gossamer has some key tracks that blow it away -- it's a really nice, vivacious sound they have going and I like the direction. It's too bad Michael Angelakos has had some personal issues lately.

Manners:

"Little Secrets"
"The Reeling"
"Sleepyhead"
"Seaweed Song"

Gossamer:

"Take a Walk"
"Carried Away"
"Constant Conversations"
"It's Not My Fault, I'm Happy"

(1)
I think Chunk of Change is quite amazing, actually. I'm not sure "Better Things" isn't my favorite song that they've done. Okay, it isn't as good as Sleepyhead, but after that it's in the conversation.

(2)
I think I still give the nod to Manners. I really really like Gossamer -- I think it's my favorite album of the year -- but no song is as good as "Sleepyhead" imo.

(3)
To put it lightly.

(4)
Manners (in this order):
"Sleepyhead"
"Moth's Wings"
"Little Secrets"
"Eyes as Candles"

Gossamer (in this order):
"Carried Away"
"It's Not My Fault, I'm Happy"
"Constant Conversations"
"Love is Greed"
"Take a Walk"

Chunk of Change (excluding "Sleepyhead") (in this order):
"Better Things"
"Cuddle Fuddle"
"I've Got Your Number"

I was listening to Gossamer yesterday, and I found myself thinking: This is not music that you would think men would like. It's very...eh...effeminite?

It's effeminite & poppy, but I like it.

Do I have teh ghey?

Uhh... no. Passion Pit's music is not gay unless you make it gay. Listen to what sounds good.

Love them, can't wait to see them live in October. They're really good. "Manners" and "Gossamer" are both fantastic albums and both have their own proper time and place.

Favorite tracks --

Manners -- "Make Light," "Little Secrets," "Eyes as Candles," "Folds in Your Hands," and "Sleepyhead."

Gossamer -- "Take a Walk," "Carried Away," "Cry Like a Ghost," "Hideaway," "Love is Greed," and "It's Not My Fault, I'm Happy."

Generally speaking, when I listen to "Manners" I find myself not bothering to skip tracks because I don't find any of them particularly offensive and enjoy some of them. With "Gossamer" on the other hand, I pretty much only listen to the songs I listed because the others bore me. If I were to score each album on average a 7, "Gossamer" would be evenly split between tracks that were 9's and 5's while "Manners" would be full of 8's and 6's.

If that makes sense
