I'm argentinean, and I've discovered Titas thruogh this album. Brazilians are very nationalists with music. But, you may notice that Titas doesn't sound classically brazilean. If they were singing in english you couldn't tell. They make and excellent mix between different sources of music such as punk, reggae, pop, samba. I recomend these songs: Policia, Porrada, Bichos Escrotos, Familia & Homen Primata.

Titas is a colossus of Brazilian pop/rock scene and this album is the pinnacle of their career. It's a cry for freedom in the form of agressive and anarchist music. Here, Titas create an unusual form of criticizing values and institutions of modern society, but always in a VERY ironic and carnivalesc way.

The band is technically very good and the sound is most of the times heavy, though it's damn hard to describe because the album is basically idealistic and the sound is not the main theme. Most songs are indeed JOKES, that's the truth. Musically their best album from the nihilist era is Titanomaquia, which I consider a true HEAVY METAL album, with awesome guitars, drums and harsh vocals (also featuring their typical acid lyrics).

Maybe this is the most relevant album of the Brazilian Rock history!!!! All the songs are classics, and some are Brazilian masterpieces like POLICIA, IGREJA, PORRADA, BICHOS ESCROTOS e AA UU!!! Really great Brazilian Rock Classic!!!!

In my opinion, the best album produced in Brazil ever. Great songs such as "Bichos Escrotos", "O que", "AA UU", "Homem Primata" and the classic "Policia". It's a must-have! I grew up listening to this album. Amazing!

Titas is definitely the most impostant Brazilian rock band of the 80's. With this album, they summarized all youngsters' anger to society, church, politicians, police, family, etc. If you want to have brief but accurate figure of the Brazilian scenario in the mid-80's you must acquire this CD !
