Skylab VII

Skylab VII is the seventh studio album by the Brazilian musician Rogério Skylab, the seventh in his series of ten eponymous, numbered albums. It was self-released in 2007, and counted with guest appearances by musicians Maurício Pereira (vocalist and saxophonist of the duo Os Mulheres Negras), Zé Felipe and Marlos Salustiano (bassist and keyboardist for now-defunct avant-garde band Zumbi do Mato, respectively), who co-wrote some of the tracks alongside Skylab.[1][2]

Skylab and Zé Felipe would come up with the collaborative output Rogério Skylab & Orquestra Zé Felipe two years later.

The album can be downloaded for free on Skylab's official website.[3]

Critical reception

Writing for Scream & Yell, Marcelo Costa gave the album a positive review of 8.5 out of 10, particularly praising the tracks "Qual Foi o Lucro Obtido?", "Dá um Beijo na Boca Dele", "A Irmã da Minha Mulher", "O Primeiro Tapa É Meu" and "Ei, Moço, Já Matou uma Velhinha Hoje?". He also jokingly stated that "in comparison, Skylab makes Marilyn Manson look like Junior Lima".[4]

The album was nominated to the Prêmio Dynamite de Música Independente, in the "Best Rock Album" category, in 2008,[5] but lost to Cachorro Grande's Todos os Tempos.[6]
