Legião Urbana is the self titled debut album by Brazilian rock band Legião Urbana, recorded on the last quarter of 1984 and released on the Emi-Odeon label on January 1, 1985. Though the band wasn't a Punk outfit, some songs here do show influence from British punk bands, particularly "Geração Coca-Cola", whose fast-paced acoustic guitar rhythm is heavily reminiscent of Buzzcocks. However, some songs have a darker tone, using even keyboard arrangements, which indicate influence from Post-punk bands like Joy Division; examples of that are the droning "Ainda É Cedo" and the eerie "Soldados", which features a quasi-martial rhythm, though other upbeat post-punk influences can be heard on the punk-disco-funk song "A Dança". The album isn't among the band's most famous, but it scored several hits, like "Será", "Ainda É Cedo" and "Geração Coca-Cola". The synthesizer-laden ballad "Por Enquanto" is one of the band's most covered songs, as well as "Será".
