Os Mutantes is a fun album. The lyrics are in Portuguese so it's not clear what's going on, but I've read elsewhere that the lyrics are pretty nonsensical anyway. The songs are tropicália with a slight nod toward psychedelic rock. Actually, there seem to be a lot of different styles represented which I'm mostly unfamiliar with.
When I first listened to this album, it seemed amateurish and gimmicky. However, the most recent listening has convinced me that it's quite good. The music is catchy, creative and never taken seriously.
I think this album is definitely worth listening to. Give it a chance and you'll be grateful you did. It would certainly be a curious addition to any collection. All the songs are very good, but the stand outs are: Panis et circenses, A minha menina, Adeus, Maria Fulô, Bat macumba, Le premier bonheur du jour and Ave, Gengis Khan.
★★★★★★★★☆☆
