Os Mutantes

This and the United States of America record from the same time were so ahead of their time that it is insane how overlooked they are in the US. I mean, some of the electronic effects are so crunchy and powerful that one can't help but be taken aback by the brash sound this album presents. Can it be a bit too much? In this album's case, yes, I feel it can be, with often some songs losing focus and feeling a tad bit like just noise, and the language barrier certainly doesn't help, but can you really blame it when it's all just so cool sounding? And it is certainly varied too, which helps. There is certainly some filler here, but otherwise top notch and ahead of its time, I need to dig into more of this underrated, late-60s psychedelic rock, it's bating a nearly perfect score.

I normally can't stand weird and psychedelic shit, but I guess all you need to do is put it in Portuguese and I'm all in.

BR!

I was expecting another terrible 60s album, but I quite enjoyed this one! I'd say I will come back to it.

Love, love, love Os Mutantes. I'm big fan of psychedelic rock in general, but they are probably my favorite psychedelic group of all. They are both more experimental and more fun than most other psychedelic bands. They have a very unique and diverse sound that manages to escape many of the cliches of psychedelia, while feeling more like a real trip. Almost surreal at times. Love the variety of their instrumentation, and their use of the studio to collage everything together.

Very random, but very fun! Didn't get some of the lyrical references, but I really enjoyed the music. Sounded surprisingly similar to some of the more interesting stuff going on in the anglophone world around the same time - with a Latin twist.

Interesting album

Wish I liked this more, the thing they’re up to seems interesting

Never listened to them before. This is really weird and fun. I dig it! No idea what's going on half the time but in an entertaining way.
