Release history
Renato Russo originally intended Dois as a double-disc album named "Mitologia e Intuição" ("Mythology and Intuition"), including some material later recorded for Que País É Este, but EMI-Odeon denied the proposal. Unlike Legião's previous album, heavily influenced by post-punk instrumentation and themes, Dois shows a wider palette of styles and influences such as folk rock and blues, including "Eduardo e Mônica", a ballad said by Russo to be largely inspired by Bob Dylan; "Música Urbana 2", a spiritual sequel to one of Russo's Aborto Elétrico composition ("Música Urbana" was recorded by Capital Inicial on their debut album); "Fábrica", a classic concert-opener; "Quase sem Querer"; and "Índios", according to Russo, a "suicide song".
In 2007, the Brazilian edition of Rolling Stone magazine featured Dois in the 21st position on a list of the 100 greatest Brazilian albums. On September 2012, it was elected by the audience of Radio Eldorado FM, of Estadao.com e of Caderno C2+Música (both the latter belong to newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo) as the third best Brazilian album ever. By the time of the album's release, the newspaper also said: "You bite it and see there is meat there. Bleeding. The little taste of Smiths on side A, with lyricist and vocalist Renato Russo singing a lot on Daniel na Cova dos Leões or Tempo Perdido, actually just prepares the ground for the punch of side B, as in Metrópole and Fábrica."
