As Quatro Estações (Portuguese for The Four Seasons) is the fourth studio album by Legião Urbana. It was released on October 26, 1989. The album is Legião Urbana's first release without bassist Renato Rocha, who left the band during the album's recording sessions.
The album features rather introspective production, perhaps reflecting the increasing stage fright of leader Renato Russo, after the fatal death of Legião Urbana fans at a concert in 1987.
Album themes include sexuality, such as in Meninos e Meninas, in which Renato Russo confesses he is bisexual, and religion, with Monte Castello featuring excerpts from St. Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians. Feedback Song for a Dying Friend was written in honor of Cazuza, whose health was deteriorating due to AIDS.
Russo reportedly considered this album to be the group's best. Tracks such as Há Tempos, Pais e Filhos, Quando o Sol Bater na Janela do Teu Quarto, Meninos e Meninas, Monte Castello and Maurício are the group's most well-known.
A concert promoting the album took place at the Palestra Itália Stadium in 1990, and it was released as a live album in 2004, under the name As Quatro Estações ao Vivo.
