I liked this album upon first listen, loved it after the second, pronounced my love of it to friends after the third, and felt compelled to write a review stating how much I love this album after the 4th. I don't really know what else to say. If you liked Portugal. The Man before, you will not be disappointed by this album unless you've made your mind up before you even listen to it as fans so often do. The music is awesome, groovy, well crafted. The lyrics are pretty similar to Satanic Satanist. I have always felt that outside of Censored Colors the lyrics were the only aspect of P.TM that wasn't up to par with the rest of the music and I hate to admit that this is the case once again. Still, you could do WAY worse so I'm by no means complaining. If I were to recommend a single track off this album it would be "All My People", which is an amazing pop gem.

Portugal. The Man just keeps their sound fresh; the album's got 80's grooves from hip-hop to synth-pop ("When the War Ends" and "1000 Years" make me think of MGMT), while a couple tunes also retain that classic Portugal. The Man sound ("60 Years" and "Do What We Do"). American Ghetto is another great from a great band!

I had never heard of Portugal. The Man until I saw they were set to perform at a music festival I'll be attending. So, I downloaded this album, and 'wow' is all I can say. I am totally blown away by this band. There are so many layers to the music and yet it's still filled with vibrant, catchy tunes. This is definitely a top 10 album for 2010.
