5.0 out of 5 stars Great Music, August 26, 2006

This review is from: Legiao Urbana 5 (Audio CD)

One of the standards of Brazilian Rock in the 80 and 90s, Legiao Urbana rarely put out anything bad. V, I would rate as either their best or second-best (As Quatro Estacoes- The Four Seasons is also exceptional). With an introspective melancholy that is atypical of most Brazilian music, Legiao's chief lyricist (the late Renato Russo) deals with issues of mortality, sexuality, love, loss and most of all spirituality. While the moods of the songs are as flighty and dark as those of the Cure, Legiao Urbana display a sophisticated minimalism in their instrumentals as if to emphasize the lyrics they are singing. On top of all that, LU captures what it's like to live in Brazil during hard times between the lines of songs such as 'O Teatro dos Vampiros' (Theatre of the Vampires)and 'Serenisima' (Very Serene).

Altogether this CD is a must-have for anyone who loves Portuguese-language rock.

This review is from: Legiao Urbana 5 (Audio CD)

I buy this CD in 91/92 (in the age LP) and it was very, very good, the lyrics are so good that it scared me, the music is between strong and sweet at the same time, if you don't know portuguese you don't have to afraid, remember that the music is to be heard (felt) with the heart also and not only with the ears. The tracks are - Metal contra as Nuvens (Metal against the Clouds), A Montanha Mágica (The Magic Mountain), O Teatro dos Vampiros (The Theater of the Vampires), Vento no Litoral (Wind in the Coast), O Mundo anda tão Complicado (The World has been so Complicated), Sereníssima (Serene), L`Age D`or (The Age of the Gold), A Ordem dos Templários (The Order Of Templarios) I recommend for all that like a good music. The Best Bazil`s Band. You can buy without fear.

This cd is worth it just for the versions of Metal Contra as Nuvens, O Teatro dos Vampiros and Serenissima. The rest are just bonuses... Since I already have several of these songs on other cd's (MTV Live), I hesitated in purchasing this cd. I am very glad I did! The versions here are just wonderful, and the other songs are just beautiful also.
