I am a HUGE alt-indie-rock fan and this is AS GOOD AS IT GETS. I personally like their newest album better but this one is pretty darn close to being just as amazing. Seriously, these guys don't get enough respect.
Every song is a keeper

Not a single throw away/filler song in the bunch. PTM is such and addicting band that, once you get it in you, you just can't shake. It took a long time for me to warm to them, but now I'm hooked. They continue to grow to the point that they are creating whole albums of good music that is consistent, but not repetitive.
These guys can really put a tune together. I love the high vocals and the themes of their lyrics. Particularly, I've noticed over their albums that they tend to frequently use the word "we" in their songs. I love that. It really gives a feeling of unity and makes the songs very generalizable. Almost as if they're the voice of a group of people sining in unison or for a generation. This is a great mechanism to allow me to relate to most of their lyrics rather than alienating me by making the songs too personal.
Another thing that I love about this album and all their albums is that their music defies categorization. When i review albums for the first time I try to drop the songs into playlists I created and I just can't seem to figure out where these songs fit. So I like this music on the merit of the music alone. Not because it fits into a genre that I like to listen to.
No real negative things to say. They seem highly consistent and the only changes over time that I've seen is growing consistency and competency
Amazing

I haven't bought a full album since "Ok Computer," so I'm not inclined to gush. But holy wow, these guys are talented! So much joy! So much talent! Addictive, huge-sounding, hooky and smart…
They've made a lot of music in the past few years-- I'm gnashing my teeth that they haven't made a bunch more. Thank you, Portugal. The Man for so much big-hearted, intelligent music.
WHY DON"T PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU!?!??!?!??!
