CENSORED COLORS
| Portugal the Man
CENSORED COLORS
Censored Colors is the third full-length album from Alaskan experimental rock band Portugal. The Man. The album was released through a partnership with Equal Vision Records on September 16, 2008. This partnership is not a traditional record contract, as the band "could work at their own pace and be intimately involved in all factors of their recording career." -Wikipedia
Critic Reviews
Show All-
All Music
their most consistent and memorable album ... The Man sounding more focused and decisive without sacrificing their experimental nature
-
Anti Quiet
It’s a savory dish, with a million flavors to parse.
-
Pop Matters
a solid album that should cement Portugal. The Man as a group that is no longer up and coming but one of indie-rock's finest
-
Stud Life
Only about half of the album is worth the time spent listening to it.
-
Pop Wreckoning
The Man may be one of the coolest things to come from the icy state in quite awhile.
-
Radio UTD
they have stepped out on a limb with their music and managed to create something completely new which doesnt alienate their previous fans, but surely wont prevent them from picking up a few more along the way
-
Punk Rock Theory
This is prog rock I can enjoy.
-
NPR
Fortunately, the group's third full-length album in as many years is compelling enough to warrant repeated spins.
-
Anti Music
the glory of Censored Colors is its rich abstractness
-
Concert Live Wire
definitely an arresting collection of rock songs with a refreshingly new approach and direction

Vocals aside, musically the album is fantastic and finishes strong. Minimal drums and acoustic guitars mixed with unique vocal styling make Censored Colors a solid third album
-
The Marquee
their strongest yet
-
Altpress
crackles with the kind of salt-of-the-earth soul inspiration for which most indie bands would hack off their Sam Beam beards
-
Rock Freaks
a pretentious, somewhat boring, and ultimately, an entirely forgettable affair that fails to live up to my expectations of this band
-
Spin
Censored Colors, is a SPIN.com favorite
