Ayo all y'all dorkz: Anyone else hear the Passion Pit full length. I didn't really dig the EP all that much, and I really didn't want to like the full-length, but it's pretty good. They really went the right direction in expanding their sound, they didn't try to be massive, they just augmented their tight indie-pop.

I agree. I actually liked the EP, but I didn't think that noise could work for a full disc. But they definitely made the right improvements. I'm a little worried there's gonna be a huge amount of over-praise that might hang the thing with some annoying baggage. But the music itself is good stuff.

I wasn't a fan of most of the EP. I liked sleepyhead initially until I heard it in that PSP commercial about 50 times, but for the most part the rest of it just annoyed me.

 

That being said, I like the LP. Specifically Moth's Wings, Eyes as Candles and The Reeling... A lot of people I know are overrating this album, making me want to devalue my praise, but I can't help but find it to be a seriously entertaining listen on the whole...

Hey,

 

I'm an intern at NPR's All Songs Considered Program.  We're hosting a live web-feed of Passion Pit's show tonight at the Black Cat in Washington DC.  We'll also be hosting a live chat room from the venue.  The feed should start tonight at 10pm EST.  You can access it here:

Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions

i gotta listen to the lp again. 

As far as "AllThingsConsidered" is concerned, there's not much you could say to the masses that would convince us that Sony BMG has our best intentions in mind; especially when it comes to Passion Pit...
