"Because we do need it"
this album is as beautiful and breathtaking as Alaska...i've never been there, but i imagine it's amazing... ...beautiful music from a beautiful band for a beautiful world. p.s. i get to see these guys play live tomorrow

they'll never make the same album twice
this is one of my new favorite bands right now. i found out about them a bit after their first cd came out and i fell in love with that entire album. when the second one came out i didnt enjoy at first, but eventually at times enjoyed it more than the first. and i knew that with this album the band would take on yet another new sound, but while still keeping it portugal. i was very excited to hear this, and was definitly not dissapointed. when i first heard it i wasn't to sure about it. but after a 2 or 3 listens i was all for it. cant wait until they're next release. and like the person before me, if you enjoy this band and haven't seen them live yet. than you are missing out greatly. go see these guys live in action for the full effect.

At first I wasn't quite sure what to make of this new album by Portugal. The Man. I fell in love with their first album (Waiter: You Vultures!) immediately. It took me a little longer to receive their next CD (Church Mouth). This CD though is really starting to grow on me. It is not nearly as loud as their previous CDs but it is definitely as heavy. I think that its one of those CDs that reflects and pays its respects to the 60's and 70's pop and rock and roll as well as putting in their own in to the album. I won't even go in to the detail of how amazing they are live. This band never ceases to amaze me.
