"One of Gil's classics, although not his best (but that's a matter of personal taste). The title track is the most well-known, but Dominguinho's "Lamento Sertanejo" is another memorable moment. "Tenho Sede" would have its definitive version in Gil's wonderful "MTV Unplugged"."  Reply

"The album' average rating is 62, while the tracks' is 80. I haven't listened to the whole album, but what I get from those numbers is that it seems to get way more hate than it truly deserves."  Reply
