Portugal. The Man - The Satanic Satanist Review


For some reason or another I keep going back to this Portugal. The Man
album The Satanic Satanist. Each listen grows closer to the last and I
wonder why. Is it because it's modern rock that swerves into classic
rock territory
without feeling recycled? Is it John Baldwin Gourley's politically
charged vocals? Is it the melodic hooks that suck you in like an iPod
ad? Is it the hippy hiding in me from my high school
days?

Yeah it's that and more. It's a wonder that these dudes don't have a
bigger name. Speaking of names...the stand out tracks are opener "People Say" and
"Golden". When Gourley sings from his heart. He is the man. Portugal.
The man.

We rate this album "it's good". Go get it.
