Skylab IV

Skylab IV is the fourth studio album by the Brazilian musician Rogério Skylab, the fourth in his series of ten eponymous, numbered albums. Self-released in 2003,[1] it was the musician's first album to be recorded live without an audience – a trend which would continue for his subsequent studio releases. A music video for the track "Parafuso na Cabeça" came out in the same year; it was directed by Gustavo Caldas.[2]

The album can be downloaded for free on Skylab's official website. The digital download version comes with the bonus tracks "Câncer no Cu" and "Chico Xavier & Roberto Carlos"; Skylab himself, "in an example of 'self-censorship'",[3] omitted them from the original physical release for considering them too controversial, even for his standards.[4]

A live recording of "Música para Paralítico" appeared on Skylab's 2009 live album Skylab IX under the alternate title "Porrada na Cabeça". The reasons for the title change are unknown.

Critical reception

Website La Cumbuca included Skylab IV in 42nd place in its list of the Top 200 Brazilian Albums of the 2000s. Skylab II and Skylab V were also featured on the list, in 24th and 71st place, respectively.[5]
