The album's raw sound and political themes create a distinctive and cohesive experience.

What we noticed

  • The album opens with a title track that features aggressive guitar riffs and rapid drumming, setting a confrontational tone.
  • Several tracks incorporate Brazilian rhythms, blending traditional elements with punk energy, particularly evident in 'Igreja' and 'Polícia'.
  • The final track, 'O quê', ends abruptly, leaving a sense of unresolved tension that reflects the album's themes.
