"Great continuation from the Instituciones by Sui Generis - he finally manages to leave his folk roots behind, and embraces prog rock. Complex, yet easy to love. Garcia at his finest." Reply

"A good album by the great Brazilian composer and masterful lyricist, marred by a few less exciting tracks, especially on the B side (although all of them are sophisticated and classy). Highlights are "O Que Será? (À Flor da Terra)" (with Milton Nascimento, who would record another version of this..." [+] Reply
"An innovative release from the "Canadian Beatles" in 1976. Fans of ELO, the Beatles and 10cc will appreciate what this has to offer. The concept borders on parody at times, but pulls through with adventurous arrangements and engaging effects." Reply

"Default KISS. Though the terminology really didn't exist back then that is exactly what Rock And Roll Over represents. THIS is what KISS is all about.

Where Zeit, Rubycon and Phaedra were predominantly sound collages, this album helps the listener more easily form those vast ex..." [+] Reply
"This is a great album that despite being very experimental, it still keeps the listener amused and interested. This album should be higher in the list of Best Brazilian Records. In my opinion in the top 10 for sure." Reply
