As Quatro Estações is the fourth album by Brazilian rock band Legião Urbana, recorded between August and October, 1989 and released on the Emi-Odeon label on October 26, 1989. Shortly before the sessions began, bassist Renato Rocha left the band, and the bass duties were taken over by both Dado Villa-Lobos and Renato Russo. The musical style differs greatly from that of the previous album, reaching for a more tranquil, peaceful general atmosphere, while the lyrics sound much more spiritual and thoughtful. Inspiration for some of the lyrics come from the Bible, Portuguese poet Luís de Camões, as well as the teachings of Buddha. It is one of the band's best selling records, and scored numerous hits in Brazil, such as "Há Tempos" and "Meninos e Meninas". "Pais e Filhos" is one of the band's most well known and anthemic songs.
