5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful, April 10, 2001

This review is from: Mutantes E Seus Cometas No Pai (Audio CD)

By the early 1970's, the pure experimentalism of the first few lps was more or less gone, but this did not mean that Os Mutantes were selling out or had gone limp. Far from it! This lp, from 1972, finds the band in as superb a form as they had ever been in, and their music reflects this wonderfully.

The songs range from the cosmic-Santana laden "Cantor de Mambo" to the wonderfully funky "Dune Buggy" to the almost prophetically eerie "Balada do Louco" (ballad of the crazy...considering what would be the, shall we say, eccentrically unusual, future for founder Arnaldo Baptista, the song sends shivers up my spine every time I hear it). From rock-n-roll to their rich ballads, Os Mutantes do not skip a beat on this gem. While I do not recommend this lp as a starting point, (listen to their lps chronologically to best observe their amazing growth as artists), I DO highly recommend the lp as a place to stop, sit down, and enjoy this cult favorite band at the height of their powers. A masterful lp.

5.0 out of 5 stars Only the the most powerful Mutantes' album..., May 25, 2000

This review is from: Mutantes E Seus Cometas No Pai (Audio CD)

Just think for a moment... why did you come to see the review of this album? To listen... Well, then fasten your seatbelts to a trip through the most powerful Mutantes' work. From pure rock n' roll (Posso Perder Minha Mulher...) to a psychedelic funk (Dune Buggy), spiced with progressive rock (Mutantes e Seus Cometas), a little bit of a comic Santana (Cantor De Mambo) and an anthem for all of us lunatics (Balada Do Louco) this cosmic album shows us what the Mutantes are capable to do with their musical instruments... You'll see why it's impossible to turn your stereo off.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Brazilian rock'n'roll album of all times, February 16, 2000

Although some people don't consider this album as the last one of the band (Mutantes had released another album in the end of the same year formally as a Rita Lee's solo album), this was the highest point of the band. Mixturing lots of styles (one of the main characteristics from the band), they have written one of the most glorious pages from the rock history of all times. From songs as "Balada do Louco" (ironically, today it sounds as a Requiem for the brilliant leader Arnaldo Baptista) to the ravishing "Beijo Exagerado", from the psychedelic "Dune Buggy" to the beautiful CSN&Y vocals style of "Rua Augusta", from the Latin rythmics of "Cantor de Mambo" to the censored hard rock "A Hora e a Vez do Cabelo Nascer" (by the 70's Brazilian Military Dictatorship), this album is their main masterpiece.
