"After an awesome debut and a two year gap to a still pretty good sophomore effort, we waited another 8 year for... this? Egad, what a letdown. I hate it when people throw the "corporate rock" term at Boston in general, but for this album? Oh, yeah." Reply

"Beautiful, evocative album which is a maelstrom of all of 4ADs greatest bands (circa mide Eightees) and indeed, a number contributed, including DCD and Cocteau Twisns. This is the best of their 3 albums - lots to get into here - listen in a darkened room with plenty of atmosphere." Reply

"Such a solid album that really epitomizes underrated and unfairly forgotten. A lot of really catchy, yet well done songs in a variety of styles, with great harmonies, strong lead vocals and super-smart structure. Strong throughout." Reply

"Legião's masterpiece, ''Dois'' is the total proof of Renato Russo's geniality as a composer and as a singer. One of the plenty things that make this album so special is that almost all its songs are sublime. If you want to know this band, this is a stunning first step!" Reply
