Thanks for all the hard work! We’re definitely reaping the rewards.
Lewis//03.01.2010

Thanks P.TM!
Tom//03.01.2010
Thanks, guys, for caring so much about your fans. It’s very refreshing in this day an age:)
With that said,
sincerely,
this album is sick.
This album went in the exact direction I wished. This is truly P.TM material. It seems to take the best aspects of each album you’ve made. RYAN! Your keyboards create an amazing original atmosphere. I’m listening to Some Men right now and…wow. Much love to the keyboard brotha!
Thank you SO MUCH, P.TM! You guys are going to change the world ;P
Phil from Austin//03.01.2010

Eric//03.01.2010
You guys will probably go down as the most fulfilling band to follow to from the first album onwards. It’s crazy to think it’s only been four years, it feels like you’ve given me far more years of enjoyment than that.
Mathew//03.02.2010
LOVE. Total Life Forever. This new album is love in its rawest form. It is witty and sexy and messy and clean. It is opposites viewed in the same direction. It is sense and nonsense. It is the epitome of great musician ship. I stupidly downloaded from itunes and am now out the digital booklet! I really wanted the booklet too. But spent $115 getting sold out tickets to the NY show. Such an ambient interesting new album. Gotta get the booklet though!
Dylan D//03.02.2010
Thanks guys, you all are about to rock my world once again.

So sad, i wish to hear it but it is not available at german itunes or amazon and i don’t know how this website works, if iam not from usa. :(
felix//03.02.2010
Just buy the cd and/or vinyl from the band. You get a phsycial release in may and a digital download now. Why would anyone just buy the mp3’s from itunes when you can get them for around the same price with a cd/vinyl to boot.
Sherbert//03.02.2010
just as i said, i do not know how to use, because we have no dollars here!
felix//03.02.2010
okok, just used teh credit-card thing, the price is really low!! 8.99 $ are about hm… 6 € Your’re great, i am very excited
felix//03.02.2010
The whole album is awesome, but “All My People” is one of the best songs I think I have ever heard. Upon every subsequent listen the album gets better and better. woo!
Luke//03.02.2010

I can’t tell you how much i appreciate everything you guys do, and I can honestly say that 25 years from now, when I have kids and they discover that old dusty pile of cd’s and hard drives in my basement, they’ll discover you, and you will probably guide another generation through their development, as you have done for me. Thanks for creating the music I’ve searched for my entire life.

hurrah//03.04.2010
I love the new album. Reminds me a little of RHCP, but with more honesty and freshness. See you on tour.
ct from nyc//03.04.2010
You guys; it’s soo good.
woodstove//03.04.2010
Awesome album!!! Very chill and laid back. I’m digging All my people and 1000 Years.
Danielle//03.04.2010
i was just wondering, did jason zach or ryan play any of the recorded instruments?
aaron//03.04.2010
Loving the album, definitely another brilliant creation.
The only thing is, I wish the songs were all mixed like “The Dead Dog” & “1000 Years” since on the others, it sounds like the instruments are on top of the voice, and at times the lyrics get lost beneath them.
Especially “The Pushers Party” – absolutely love this song, but the lyrics are mushed in between instead of soaring through. “When the War Ends” is also a notable victim of this same mixing dilemma…wonderful song, but the lyrics sound compressed and dull. Maybe this can be revised before physical press time?
Whatever the case, it’s still an awesome album and I wish you the best, -Travis
alright so i was a little freaked out when i first heard this album but now i am totally all for it!!!! it is one amazingly different psychadelic album. It is very consistent with that electronic hippy feel you put into it and it is so different than your other albums, but not completely different to be out of the ptm zone. absolutely incredible, i dont know how you guys do it, you guys are the most talented amazing band out there for sure.
B-dooog//03.05.2010
It’s awesome guys. All the layering is mind blowing. amazing. “Do What We Do” is fucking awesome. the chorus and reverb and delay…. i have no words to describe the feeling it gives me… Thank you for yet another amazing album guys.
much love, Ian
Ian//03.06.2010
Are you guys coming to Los Angeles between Santa Cruz and Coachella? I’m just trying to decide whether or not me and my buddies should make the trip to Santa Cruz, since we don’t have Coachella tickets this year. Thank you.
phb//03.07.2010
I got the digital copy and a physical copy of the album, and after listening to it about twenty times in the past week, I feel like I have to tell you that this is your greatest work yet, PtM. You really created something special. I think this album shouold go down in history as the first perfect album of 2010. Who’s with me?
JoelMcGill//03.08.2010
i vote no pre production on the next album! I vote its all purely spontaneous in the studio as a full band. I also vote that you have a time constraint placed on you of three weeks to finish it.
Jordan//03.10.2010
Sounds magnificent, guys.
JT//03.11.2010
man what happened? you guys used to be my favorite band in the world. you guys were the source of so many amazing moments in my life. im feeling pretty let downright now.
sam//03.11.2010
promo video I made for the new album, spread it to all your friends!
its so amazing its alot more mellow, i love the instrumentals in fantastic place, you guys did a good job on the song titles too i can feel the vibe of each song title before i even listen to it. ahhhh so amazing thank you thank you now i can go blaze and listen to some new music
Wesley Rimel//03.11.2010
PS, about the “Break” being song #2 -
After much consideration, I realized the “Break” should be track #6 instead of #2, in between “Fantastic Pace” and “The Pushers Party”.
I know the lyrics “Straight man…” are repeated in there to lead into “60 Years” and I’m sure you have a special reason for the break being so early in the album, though it just does not sound quite right. I always feel it disrupts the flow right after the album gets going with “The Dead Dog”.
Though without it being there, “The Dead Dog” then flows perfectly into “60 Years” with that electric whoosh. Then, as #6, it works rather well after that instrumental ending of “Fantastic Pace” and serves very nice as a psychedelic prelude into “The Pushers Party”.
If other people could chime in how they feel, that’d be cool. And I just wanted to throw this out there in case it could be revised for the physical copies. It’s easy to rearrange songs on a playlist, but on vinyl it’ll be a little more difficult!
I have been a Portugal fan for some time now. I got into them at around the release of Church Mouth (great album). As i slowly uncovered their discography at that point i grew more and more excited. The credit goes to my younger brother. I seen them mostly in Philly and one in San Fran and next week in D.C. I just wanna say that the music is great on all albums I have found new flavors in all…but hands down, Waiter is the best front to back and maybe one day the guys will bring back seeds of that album in new work. I just wanna say i dont dislike change, it is good, as well as experimenting with new sounds. There was just an electricity, call it RAW POWER! that came from that era.
Matt//03.12.2010
1 impartial words with BBC inside the Television show. He still includes a really difficult immigration policy. This individual managed to graduate within the Harvard Collage. At this point he has the 1 Airwaves Show. He didn’t like the particular Us leader.
I’m slowly downloading it off of itunes and I’m loving it!! It’s a mix of the past cds but I’m also hearing some new!

i vote no pre production on the next album! I vote its all purely spontaneous in the studio as a full band. I also vote that you have a time constraint placed on you of three weeks to finish it.

PS, about the “Break” being song #2 -
After much consideration, I realized the “Break” should be track #6 instead of #2, in between “Fantastic Pace” and “The Pushers Party”.
I know the lyrics “Straight man…” are repeated in there to lead into “60 Years” and I’m sure you have a special reason for the break being so early in the album, though it just does not sound quite right. I always feel it disrupts the flow right after the album gets going with “The Dead Dog”.
Though without it being there, “The Dead Dog” then flows perfectly into “60 Years” with that electric whoosh. Then, as #6, it works rather well after that instrumental ending of “Fantastic Pace” and serves very nice as a psychedelic prelude into “The Pushers Party”.
If other people could chime in how they feel, that’d be cool. And I just wanted to throw this out there in case it could be revised for the physical copies. It’s easy to rearrange songs on a playlist, but on vinyl it’ll be a little more difficult!
Best regards, -Travis

I have been a Portugal fan for some time now. I got into them at around the release of Church Mouth (great album). As i slowly uncovered their discography at that point i grew more and more excited. The credit goes to my younger brother. I seen them mostly in Philly and one in San Fran and next week in D.C. I just wanna say that the music is great on all albums I have found new flavors in all…but hands down, Waiter is the best front to back and maybe one day the guys will bring back seeds of that album in new work. I just wanna say i dont dislike change, it is good, as well as experimenting with new sounds. There was just an electricity, call it RAW POWER! that came from that era.

1 impartial words with BBC inside the Television show. He still includes a really difficult immigration policy. This individual managed to graduate within the Harvard Collage. At this point he has the 1 Airwaves Show. He didn’t like the particular Us leader.
