It's also the first album by the band to break away from the Tropicália aesthetic, and move towards more of a pure rock sound. Except for a tongue-in-cheek version of the ballad "Chão de Estrelas", the record shows little Brazilian music influence. This shift in direction is speculated to be because their helpers and influences, Tropicalismo stars Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil were exiled by the Brazilian military dictatorship.

The album cover reflects a similar illustration by Gustav Doré from Dante's Divine Comedy.

It was listed by Rolling Stone Brazil at #22 in the list of 100 best Brazilian albums in history.^[2] The magazine also elected the title song "Ando Meio Desligado" as the 50th greatest Brazilian song.^[3]
