Portugal. The Man went on a huge classic rock and psychedelia kick after the release of 2006's Waiter: "You Vultures!". Though "Vultures!" didn't necessarily carry any strong similarities with the members' own musical past, it was almost as if to cut ties completely with the band from whence they came. It was a sensible trajectory for any band, really, but the resulting albums from the prolific act weren't quite as memorable (2007's Church Mouth and last year's Censored Colors). They were solid, no doubt, but vaguely composed and nary a moment that would truly stick.

Really enjoying this. Easily their most consistent album to date, and not as longwinded as Censored Colors. I have tried so many times to get into this band, but all their albums and their live show are sooooo incredibly boring. The guy in the video is way too proud about the album's packaging Huge disappointment so far, but I might give it another try. For such an awesome album name, this sure is a shitty fucking band. Agreed with Jelone....major step back. Church Mouth, I think is their best work yet. worst band name ever. Score is for Satanic Surfers. Eh, to be honest, I felt like this was a huge step back after Censored Colors. Great album. One of my favorites of '09 so far. |
