To escape the tension caused by the requirement of new hits from the record label, the band took refuge at a site in the mountainous region of the state of Rio de Janeiro and began composing unpretentiously.

During this period, bassist Patrick Laplan decided to depart from the group, apparently dissatisfied with the new sound of the band. The producer and collaborator Alexandre Kassin replaced him during the recording of the album.[3]

When the album was delivered to the label in April Music, it was rejected on the grounds that there were no potential hits and the production was considered amateurish. The Abril Music demanded that the album was remastered. In an agreement, the producer Marcelo Sussekind would remix the album. However, he really liked the original version and produced an almost identical version, delivered to the record company.

Although considered by many the band's best album and one of the great classics of Brazilian music, the album sold only 35,000 copies at release time (against more than 300 000 copies of the previous album). In part, the low-selling is because of the record company Abril Music ignoring the album for the lack of a potential big hit. Only a long tour managed to keep the band active, generating new fans and giving a certain "cult" status to the group.

A decade later...

In 2011, Rodrigo Barba had the idea of doing a tribute to the 10th anniversary of the album. He called friends Rodrigo Costa (Forfun) and Melvin (Carbona), besides the own support band members of Los Hermanos, Bubu Trompete and Gabriel Bubu. The project had its first appearance at the festival Abril Pro Rock in Pernambuco.
