Reviews (page 8 of 8)
Schel, oud, iets te experimenteel, gitaren die klinken als een kazoo, valse nasale zang. Zoals ik ooit eerder noteerde is ook dit een kinderfeestje met verschillende Fisher Price of Vtech apparaten. Alsof Sgt Pepper is ontvoert door een stel kannibalen uit een Braziliaans regenwoud. De cuica (waarvan ik de naam ken via deze lijst) maakt z'n rentree. Bizar schelle fluiten met als enige doel om te irriteren in het intro van track 9. Wat een kutzooi zeg. Ik heb dit album op 4 verschillende momenten ingestart, maar ik kom er maar niet doorheen. Ik zet het steeds uit omdat ik me toch wel aardig stoor aan de vele schelle geluiden. Ik kom hier met geen mogelijkheid doorheen. Heel slimme mensen kunnen hier vast iets uit halen, maar ik krijg zin om een gat in m'n schedel te boren. 1 ster.
Rough listen
Painful

There’s one great tune on here, but it’s not enough to lift it up from one star, that’s how bad the rest of it is
This list really needs more psychedelic rock from the late 60s, there just isn't quite enough.
1.5
Probably one of the worst albums I've gotten here.
Not my jam
Psychedelic rock is not my thing, I think not understanding the words might be helping though. This is like a cross between psychedelic rock and pop...this is like something that would be on at a hipster taqueria where the bartender has a unique and well maintained mustache. I could do without the "found sound" in every song. It must have been tiresome for these bands to try and outweird each other for a decade. The slide whistle across these songs feels like they had to find an instrument for one of the singers to play so they were involved in all the songs. The switching between genres in the same song is unpleasant. All the distortion is too much. This is like a collection of sounds being played over Brazilian covers of '60s American pop. This music is exhausting to listen to. Hail Ghengis Khan is the final song....I get this probably has something to do with the social criticism of the Brazilian government at the time but what a stupid title. Astrud Gilberto + The Mamas and the Papas + Dick Dale + Random Sounds + Jefferson Airplane = Os Mutantes...what a terrible mish mash of noise.
Albums like this test me like never before.
Not what I like, even remotely.
Horrif
I’m sure there are plenty of listeners out there who’d appreciate this group’s experimental sounds. I’m not one of them.
Couldn’t finish this album.
Not my jam.

This was chaotic and weird at times, which seems to be a theme of that era. While I appreciate it, I won’t listen again. Not for me.
Lateinamerikanische Pop Märchenmusik der 68er Generation
....weird
Not my thing
.(.
This works not for me - not at all
I was interested from the description, but this ended up just being a lot of chirpy nonsense
Wth
Me: Can we have The Beatles? Mom: No, we have The Beatles at home. The Beatles at home:
• Det är något lite fängslande med omslaget. Ser ut som att han i bakgrunden cosplayar Oswald of Carim • Mycket konstiga ljud • Generellt kul att höra nått som inte är på engelska, även om det kan vara lite avtändande • Musikmässigt inte helt dåligt • 39e plats på ”Top 40 Stoner albums” • Tycker jag hör folk röra runt i tekoppar hela tiden • Man hör lite Beatles och Beach Boys, men de överröstas av det traditionella brasilianska delarna Betyg: Det finns bra saker här, intressant att höra nån enstaka låt, men ett helt album kanske är lite för mycket => 1/5
Oh boy, back to the rainforest with you and take your flutey things with you and be gone.
It's not for me
Not my thing
La música portuguesa no está dentro de mis preferencias.
Hard to listen, mercifully short.
Not a fan
Blur the line between experimental and noise.
I’ve never made an album so can’t fully appreciate how hard it is to make one. I’ve never done drugs. I’ve never experienced being intoxicated. I’m not a fan. This album made me feel high, drunk and increasingly paranoid. It’s like take some drugs as your out for a walk and then you suddenly wake up on a swan pedalo on a lake in the middle of Lisbon with a nipple piercing, hand tattoos, shaved head and an inflatable hippo under your left arm. This one isn’t for me.
This was unpleasant. There were a couple songs with good parts but then they would always throw in something that was just quite unfortunate, really. The lady who sings on the first song sounds like the I Play Pokemon Go Every Day kid. 2/10
What even was this dog meat album. Even if it was in English I bet it will still have sucked moose bawls. Ez 1. Nothing good about it. Book should be top 1,000 albums and they should remove this one
Wtf.
Yeah - I have no idea what this was trying to be. They have no consistency in theme, genre, cohesiveness in any way. The whole thing sounds like a weird troll haha.
Hate it
I’m a weird guy. I’m very weird musically. But this is too weird. Yours sincerely, Frank Grimes Jnr.
What the fuck is this?
Hate it
AJ: lasted 30 seconds. No bueno.
Brazlian Beatles, how strange. Enjoyed a couple of tracks but it gets very psychadelic and the language barrier makes it hard to enjoy too much. There is also a weird tinnyness to the album which really annoyed me. It was espeically grating on Bat Macumba. Highlights: A Minha Menina
Pure shite
I only got three songs in but couldn’t do the rest
I didn’t know this band before it came up as our album today. I read the blurb about them and thought that maybe I would like it because it was tropicalia, and also thought that perhaps the psychedelic part would be fun mixed in. .I was wrong. It is fine as background music. There was one song that seeemed like it could be a soundtrack for a Tom and Jerry cartoon. And there was a part during the Mamas and Papas cover where I thought my phone alarm was going off. (My alarm is bell tower).
Don't get it.
meh
A very strange album, definite psychedelia apparent. Not a fan
I didn't need to hear that. The cover artwork should have been a dead giveaway... Sucks!
Levyssä on ainakin yritetty erikoisuutta, mutta suurimmaksi osaksi ainakin ihan hirvittävää kuunneltavaa. Viimeinen kappale ainoa vähän siedettävä
Trifecta of sins on this album. 1. It does terrible covers. 2. It uses a monkey drum. 3. It’s foreign to me and it’s not Rammstein!!!!! I did enjoy other foreign albums on this list, but why this and not RAMMSTEIN!!?? Clear blind spot.
Beats were alright but I don't like foreign language music much
Too weird and slow
lame
This shit was too ridiculous for me. Sound like a church choir while also trying to be the doors. Out on that 1/10
No lo escuché. No llamó mi atención.
Grote griebels, wat was dat..
This really isn't my kind of thing. I find it hard to rate something when I have no comparative point of reference. I don't understand the music, the language or the late 60's humour. I'm sure it meant something to someone at the time. But it's just not music for me.
Really don’t have much to say for this album. Didn’t understand much of it but truly the Latin style wasn’t terrible. It was ok background music but nothing more. 2.3/10
Os Mutantes' debut album blends traditional Brazilian music with psychedelia rock. It's well known as being an interesting or "far out" album because it is trippy, Brazilian sounding music. The sounds on this album are more experimental than other psychedelia rock from this time, but it is well produced. I don't speak Portuguese so I can't understand the lyrics - which is probably similar to most listeners - but the album can still be enjoyed for its trippy music. In conclusion, the album was certainly intriguing, but none of the songs really stuck out to me. Perhaps one should be high when listening to this album to fully understand the music.
Strange trippy 60s stuff. Not great.
Totally bollocks
Not only the worst of the 60s but also in Spanish
Comedy album. Zero points.
Cacophonous.
It's just not pleasant to listen to. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was at first, but after a bit of ear-scratching noise, I figured out that it was mainly the little things in the songs. Random uses of instruments that don't belong, weird effects placed on the guitar and voice that bleed your ears, and an emphasis on loud noises will surely cause you to dislike this album.
Just not for me. "Tempo No Tempo" and "Ave Gengis Khan" were good.
nonsense. difficult to listen to and appreciate.
Empecé a escucharlo y no lo toleré. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Inescuchable x1000. Lo intenté. Realmente lo intenté.
why am I getting albums in Portuguese.
Didn't like this at all. 1/5 stars.
Psychedelic and disjointed. Very disappointing
I could only get through like 2 songs, maybe not in the right frame of mind for it.
nope
Prepare for ultimate brazilian psychedelic indie music. Like Pink Floyd, but swap Dave Gilmour for immensly creative and strange instrumental outbreaks. Also be sure to borrow some Mamas and the Papas Vocal Harmony, pair it with the brazilian language, and: ét voilá!
