As Quatro Estações (English: The Four Seasons) is the fourth studio album by Brazilian rock band Legião Urbana. It was released on October 26, 1989. The album is Legião Urbana's first release not to feature bassist Renato Rocha, who left the band during the album's recording sessions, although he would briefly return for Uma Outra Estação, released after Renato Russo's death.

It was certified platinum by ABPD.[2] A concert promoting the album took place at the Palestra Itália Stadium in 1990. This concert's recording was released as a live album in 2004, under the name As Quatro Estações ao Vivo.

Trivia

  • During Legião Urbana's performance at the Palestra Itália Stadium in 1990, Renato Russo said he wrote "Pais e Filhos" while in the bathroom, and dedicated it to "a cockroach that is more important than the people [we] love". That was a reference to the song "Uma Barata Chamada Kafka" Brazilian punk band Inimigos do Rei. Inimigos do Rei lead singer Paulinho Moska would later cover "Meninos e Meninas".
  • The lyrics of "1965 (Duas Tribos)" reference Revell models and Hanna-Barbera Studios.
  • The name of the track "Monte Castelo" is a reference to the Battle of Monte Castello.
