Sexo!!

This album, Sexo!!, is the second work by Ultraje a Rigor, released in 1987 by WEA Records. The band decided to present this album with an unexpected show in a shopping mall on Avenida Paulista, a move that sought to break with the idea that a successful first album was often followed by one that did not achieve the same impact. The album's sound is characterized by an energy that is maintained throughout its ten tracks, including standout pieces such as A Festa, Eu Gosto de Mulher, Pelado —which was part of the soundtrack of the telenovela Brega e Chique by Rede Globo—, Terceiro, and the title track, Sexo!!.

About the album

Sexo!!, according to DoReSol

One of the most discussed songs is Prisioneiro, where bassist Maurício Defendi takes on the role of lead vocalist. The lyrics narrate the story of a corrupt politician who benefits from corruption and trafficking. Due to its content, this song was banned by Federal Censorship, specifically the Division of Censorship of Public Entertainment (DCDP), and could not be broadcast on the radio at the time. The album also marks the incorporation of Sérgio Serra into the band, replacing Carlo Bartolini, known as Carlinhos, who left the group during the recording process. Some of the guitar parts were recorded by producer Liminha.

In Eu Gosto de Mulher, an instrumental reference to Aram Khatchaturian's orchestral piece Dança do Sabre can be heard, specifically between minutes 1:45 and 2:16. All compositions on the album are the work of Roger Moreira, unless otherwise stated. The overall production of the album was handled by Liminha.
