    This album gets a 3 because I can describe it in three words. Uninspiring. Disappointing. Boring. I found out recently this album exists, and I regret ever knowing about it. I loved Passion Pit, and on a deep level I still do.

    Kindred is fun, but best in small, sugary doses. [No. 120, p.59]

    Even if there's still a sneaking suspicion Angelakos used up his very best tunes on 2008 debut EP 'Chunk Of Change', this dewy-eyed record sweeps you up in its joie de vivre all the same.
