Waiter: "You Vultures!"

Waiter: "You Vultures!" is the debut studio album by American rock band Portugal. The Man. It is lead singer John Gourley and bassist Zach Carothers's first album released after leaving the band Anatomy of a Ghost. Unlike the band's later recorded material, the general style of their debut full-length veers closer to a progressive post-hardcore sound, with a marked influence of The Mars Volta in particular.
