5.0 out of 5 stars saudades -- a kind of longing of (and for) a heart, August 24, 2001

It's a bit of a cliche to say that there is no word for saudade in the English language -- but it's true. And it's also true that no other band compares to Legiao Urbana. This, their second release, is not an incredibly slick production; studio effects are kept to a minimum. What is on this CD is a raw energy and feeling that lives in every note played, in every lyric sung. This band took Brasilian pop beyond tradition, yet at the same time breathed new vibrancy into the spontaneous and organic creativity that is at the very heart of Brasilian musical traditions. Even it you don't speak Portuguese, singer/poet Renato Russo's mastery of his powerfully emotive voice will surely impress. And the songs on this CD sound as fresh and original today as they did in '86. Looking back on the bands of the past 15 years, with so many rip-off artists and pop-schlock regurgitators, this band's contribution to the world of music is obviously, totally and beautifully unique[....]

5.0 out of 5 stars Best brazilian 80's album!!, April 4, 2001

By 

antonio (São Paulo, Brazil) - See all my reviews

(Sorry, my english is horrible.)- Worshipped by thousands of brazilians fans, Legião Urbana's DOIS is considered by the critics as the best rock album ever released in Brazil. From soft ballads as "Eduardo e Mônica" to blues stuff like "Música Urbana", pop poet Renato Russo has created a collection of little masterpieces, eventually going into fields like politics ("Fábrica"). There's no way to understand brazilian rock whitout listening to this album, believe me.
