Abalando a Sua Fábrica sees the band shifting away from their previous rap rock-inflected sonority, advancing towards a "rawer" style more influenced by punk and garage rock.[1] It was also recorded with all instrumental parts simultaneously instead of one at a time, as if they were recording live.[2] The album spawned three hit singles: "Lugar ao Sol", "Hoje Eu Acordei Feliz" (which had a critically acclaimed music video directed by filmmaker André Abujamra) and "Como Tudo Deve Ser", included in the soundtrack of SBT's reality show Casa dos Artistas.[3] Selling over 100,000 copies, it won a Gold certification by Pro-Música Brasil.
