* EpicRocking: "Charles Jr." clocks in at about six minutes.
* NewSoundAlbum: This album is a largely stripped down record in comparison to previous works by Ben. Whereas though his previous records were a melodic fusion of bossa nova, samba and psychedelia, ''Fôrça Bruta'' mostly experiments with more rhythmic cadences and groove utilizing African drumming and lush string sections. It's lyrical content differs from his previous album's lackadaisical atmosphere, with a more melancholy tone and a focus on social justice.
* {{Postmodernism}}: The record would critique modernity in regards to Afro-Brazilians still facing marginalization in a modern Brazil.
* TelephoneSong: "O Telefone Tocou Novamente"
