    To me, the only thing that really overwhelmingly set this back was the EDM based 'Easy Tiger'. Apart from that the album is pretty good. In my opinion it doesn't hit the same that Evil Friends did, but the tracks still hold value.

    Favorites: Feel It Still, Rich Friends, So Young, Noise Pollution,
    Least Favorites: Easy Tiger

    This is a great album. And while I get why P.tm fans would dislike it, the sound of it isn't bad, it's actually quite good. It's just different. Least favourite songs are Easy Tiger and Mr. Lonely. also Rich friends is my jam now

    the critics definitely got this one wrong. This album has a lot of energy, with so many catchy songs that you just keep coming back to the album.

    While on the surface this sounds like just another neat experiment using funky textures through fundamental song forms, the overall consistency of those successes makes Portugal. the Man quietly one of the best in this simplistic realm today, despite some missed melodic potential. My Score: 140/180 (Solid) = 7.8/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Portugal the man found a way to captivate me.
    Woodstock is majestic, fresh, nothing I'd heard before, unbelievable. This marked my 2017. Expecting the next to arrive.

    Again and again, Woodstock promises a protest but delivers a party.

    With Woodstock, Portugal. The Man continues to be exceptionally colorful, polished, moving, and determined. Sure, the group has lost a sliver of their uniqueness in the move toward a more commercially viable and accessible sound, but the vast majority of their idiosyncratic identity is still here.

    Instead of putting their own offbeat stamp on danceable pop music, Portugal. The Man abandons their once-unique sound and retreats into imitation.
