Albums Of The Year 2025 – 11 – Portugal. The Man – Shish

Fox Reviews Rock - Albums Of The Year 2025

It has been a great year in the realms of all things rock! What better way to celebrate the brilliant new releases of 2025 by counting down our favourites.

Band Background

I think these might be the only band I know of based in Alaska! If you’re an Alaskan band hit us up! The bands sound is a wonderful blend of psych, indie with pop influences. Their 2017 hit “Feel It Still” might have felt more Wait a minute MR postman to me, but this album is red hot!

What’s Good About This Album

It is hard to believe this is album number 10! I love it because it moves past some of their more pop like influences and into a rockier more harsh area. Along with that is an increased level of psych that has been unfortunately absent in other recent albums as well as a higher tempo.

Favourite Tracks

The hook in this song is damn tasty! The whole song feels expansive and I love the psychedelic feel as well as how light it feels.

Portugal. The Man – Tanana (All Rights Are Retained By Portugal. The Man)

This makes me feel like I am in Spain, although I suspect actually that should be Portugal. The acoustic guitar really does it for me. The chorus is fantastic too with the higher vocal range used!

Portugal. The Man – Angoon (All Rights Are Retained By Portugal. The Man)

    Reading this made me want to revisit both songs with fresh ears, and maybe put some thoughts into words too. Thanks!

        It took me a while to write it, haha. I really like the lyrics of one of the songs, and I connected its themes with the film Dead Poets Society, which I like a lot. I hope you like it too! I’m not the best writer yet because I’m still learning English, haha. https://unblogeningles.wordpress.com/2025/12/17/movies-series-dead-poets-society-words-an-ideas-can-change-the-world-episode-2/

    I saw them perform in an office in April 2013 and knew they were going to be huge. Great new album!
