Dois is the second album by Brazilian rock band Legião Urbana, recorded on the first quarter of 1986 and released on the Emi-Odeon label on July, 1986. Instead of a straightforward Post punk album, this release shows a wider palette of styles and influences, such as folk ("Eduardo e Mônica", largely inspired by Bob Dylan), blues ("Música Urbana 2", a sequel of sorts for an old Aborto Elétrico song) and synth pop ("Fábrica"). The result is a more accessible and memorable set of songs, which combined with the state of the economy of Brazil in 1986, made this one of the band's biggest selling records, and scored a big number of hits, such as "Quase Sem Querer", "Eduardo e Mônica", "Índios" and the anthemic "Tempo Perdido".
