0.0 Athom EMERITUS | March 2nd 10

American Ghetto is an album, full of eh and monotony, signifying nothing.

American Ghetto is sort of like waiting for the water in your ice tray to freeze so you can enjoy it in a drink. By the time a solid object is present, it really wasn't worth the wait in the first place. The usually bleary drum beats, high-whining hooks that always seem to be climbing down - the gameplan has been foiled by now. We're just waiting for guys to get 'roided up so the game can become entertaining again.

No one track stands out except for the surprisingly focused and alive closer, "When the War Ends" that revives itself at the end dressed in disco. Unfortunately, for the most part the songs stand cowardly and lost in the band's expanding cloud of dormancy.

Songs I remember:
"1000 Years"
"When the War Ends"

The last album was more of a let down than a lot of people are willing to admit, but I feel this one is their best to date. Rivaled only by their debut or Censored Colors depending on your taste.

Witty response: something about The Satanic Satanist.

This album is a huge step-up from Uncensored Colors. It's a little more rap-like in the beats, but not in a bad way. The songs are more varied, and have much more catchy choruses, rather than having one chorus being repeated over and over again. A very good album.

Great album, no duds here, just great songs. Not as upbeat as Satanic Satanist, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. The only thing that should be changed is the track order, it doesn't flow perfectly like it should.

Nothing short of beautiful music in the prime of Portugal's prolific career. Every listen yields new discoveries; this is everything i love about Portugal. The Man

3.5 greatKlekticist | March 4th 10

It's a decent album. A bit awkward flowing between songs, and the middle section of the album's pretty slow. Enjoyable background music, I'm sure some songs will circulate on the playlist for a bit.

4.0 excellentMegatonShotblast | March 3rd 10

Another consistently solid release from a group that manages to tweak their overall sound on every new album they create. After 5 listens, there are really no bad songs on the album, though some are better than others. Recommended tracks: The Dead Dog, 60 Years, When The War Ends
