Album Review: Minha Mente Está Em Seu Caos by Megh Stock
Alright, let’s talk about Minha Mente Está Em Seu Caos by Megh Stock. Released in 2011 under Over Sonic Music, this Brazilian gem is a wild ride through genres like Funk, Soul, Rock, Blues, Pop, Jazz—you name it. It’s the kind of album that doesn’t just stick to one vibe; it jumps around and keeps you guessing. Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but man, did it leave an impression.
First off, shoutout to “Conhaque.” This track hits hard right from the start. It’s got this raw, bluesy edge mixed with a funky bassline that just grooves. The lyrics feel personal, almost like Megh is sitting across from you, spilling their soul over a drink (probably whiskey, given the title). There’s something about the way the horns come in—it’s not too polished, not trying too hard. Feels real, you know? That mix of grit and melody stuck with me for days.
Then there’s “Sambando Só,” which is just pure fun. If you’ve ever wanted to dance alone in your room but make it artsy, this is your jam. It’s got that classic Brazilian samba rhythm but with a twist—some jazzy chords here, a poppy hook there. It’s impossible not to move to this one. Plus, the vocals have this carefree vibe that makes you wanna grab a caipirinha and pretend you’re on Copacabana Beach, even if you’re just chilling in your living room.
The rest of the tracks are just as eclectic. Like, “Foguetes” feels like a dreamy escape, while “Vestido de Festa” brings this cinematic energy that could soundtrack a movie scene. And then there’s “O Rei,” which closes the album with this reflective tone—it’s like Megh is leaving you with something to think about after all the chaos.
What I love most about this album is how unapologetically itself it is. It doesn’t try to fit into one box or cater to trends. You can tell Megh Stock poured their heart into it, blending all these influences into something unique. It’s messy in the best way possible, like a musical collage of emotions and styles.
Honestly, listening to Minha Mente Está Em Seu Caos feels like flipping through someone’s diary—but instead of words, it’s music. And yeah, maybe that sounds kinda cheesy, but isn’t that what great albums do? They make you feel things you didn’t even know you needed to feel.
Random thought: I bet if this album were a person, it’d be the life of the party AND the deep conversation you have at 3 AM. Weird combo, but hey, so is this record. Check it out if you’re up for something different.
