Fifty-word review

Passive Agressive: Singles 2002-2010

7.3 out of 10

More retrospective than hits collection, Passive Aggressive offers a nuanced examination of The Radio Dept. in all their complexity. With a generous helping of b-sides and rarities, the anthology should appeal to devoted fans while providing a solid introduction to one of the more underrated bands of the last decade.
