Critic Reviews
Show All-
Consequence of Sound
It has plenty of gems for the hard-core fans, but also plenty messy, forgettable songs for the haters.
-
Washington Post
"American Ghetto" is proof that thoughtful musical artistry is out there for those who care to turn off the TV and listen.
-
Pop Matters
In attempting to continue their innocuous streak of solidity, Portugal The Man have never sounded so objectionable.
-
All Music
what’s clear is that this dreamier sound is one that works for them
-
Behind the Hype
this is another successful experiment for the band
-
Anti Quiet
the album’s deceptively catchy, pretty in a way that defies the album’s true depth
-
LA Music Blog
an album that, though drum machined and programmed and synthesized, maintained a lot of feeling and the soul and heart of what this band is
-
Punk Rock Theory
“American Ghetto” is proof that it’s possible to write and adventurous and experimental album without forgetting to write actual songs.
-
Velocities in Music
Strong, fun, slightly over-produced with some seriously catchy tracks
-
Grimy Goods
The rhythm of the entire album is so tasteful, with songs ending when they should and stretching when necessary.
-
90.3 The Core
It's an immediately likeable record.
