Critic Reviews
Show All-
Pitchfork
Their attempts at topicality are clumsy.
-
popMatters
Woodstock demonstrates just how peculiar and adventurous yet relatable and enjoyable music can be
-
ALL MUSIC
It's an enormous-sounding, splashy album.
-
PASTE
It’s a decidedly grimy vivisection of millennial pop expressly positioned to act as revolutionary mouthpiece for a generation of the disillusioned.
-
AV/MUSIC
The Man unique feels like it’s been lost.
-
SLANT
Instead of putting their own offbeat stamp on danceable pop music, Portugal. The Man abandons their once-unique sound and retreats into imitation.

Sputnik Music
Woodstock is a solid stepping stone for Portugal. The Man, but an unfocused one.

The album captures a moment of political unrest in a way that is accessible without lacking depth.

IMPOSE
Layers of instrumentals create this frenzied feeling, but somehow it all blends perfectly into this sound that perfectly defines what the band is all about.

Treads heavily into experimental, psychedelic ground.

Portugal. The Man continues to prove they are incredibly eclectic musicians.
-
Behind The Hype
Woodstock takes a staunch tone in politics and clash between the classes in America we're feeling in real time.

Renowed for Sound
Woodstock fails to ignite the listener’s passions, or provide anything beyond a pleasant, though uneventful, distraction.

Woodstock is a head nodding groovy album.

The hooks are catchy and the melodies are exuberant.

AV/MUSIC
Each song moves deliberately toward a radio-friendly chorus.

the Music.com
Feels more like a rehash of old ideas and recycled nostalgia.
-
Mugatunes
Overwhelmingly underwhelming.

Might be their best work to date, which should enlighten and excite PTM fans no end.

Woodstock is a strong effort from a big band.

With the exception of a few misfires, the band has found a way to make it work.

The songs flow comfortably from one to the next so that you don't always notice the beginnings and ends.

60s Today
Lyrically, Woodstock delivers on its aim to establish a connection between young people’s lives 50 years ago and nowadays.
-
Amoeba Music
Spicing up their laidback psych-pop with contemporary pop and hip hop/dance music production, the band also turns its attention lyrically towards the protest politics of the album's titular festival.

“Woodstock” filters today’s sociopolitical environment through a haze of psychedelic rock ’n’ roll.
