    This has to be the most irritating music I have heard in a long time. Make you have heard it before you part with your cash. Try Ojos de Brujo to see how it really should be done.

    Are these critics serious? This music sucks.

    i found this ablum to be incredibly irritating. i liked tom ze's music from the 70s, but despite all the acclaim this album's receiving, all i can hear are lazy hip-hop beats and screeching voices. maybe if i understood portuguese i'd like this better, but the atonality of the songs just annoys me.

    To Ze's credit, the concept never overshadows the songs which, at their heart, are pop songs.

    A sprightly psych-pop disc overflowing with exquisite melodies and cooing female voices. [14 Apr 2006, p.86]

    He forges yet another new vision: one that involves psych rock, quirky funk and bossa nova as much as it does hip-hop and electronica. [#19, p.104]
