"Their first album as a rock quintet, with leader Arnaldo Baptista changing from bass to keyboards (Liminha, who in the next decade would become an important producer/studio owner, is the new bassist).

"IMO, this is the greatest hard rock debut album of all time. There is not a single bad track on the album; absolutely no filler. Ronnie Montrose is extremely under-rated as a guitar player. It angers me that this album is virtually forgotten by most people when discussing debut albums." Reply
