The album counts with guest appearances by hip hop groups Controlamente, RZO[1] – at the time still fronted by Sabotage – and De Menos Crime, returning from Preço Curto... Prazo Longo; and rappers Negra Li[2] – who wrote the lyrics of the hit "Não É Sério" – and Radjja de Santos, another previous collaborator. Producer Tadeu Patolla was also a co-author of "O Penetra".

Nadando com os Tubarões sold over 100,000 copies, receiving a Gold certification by Pro-Música Brasil, and in 2001 was nominated for both a Latin Grammy Award for Best Portuguese Language Rock or Alternative Album and a Multishow Brazilian Music Award. A music video which counted with a guest appearance by comedy troupe Hermes & Renato was made for "Rubão, o Dono do Mundo".[3]

Critical reception

edit

Writing for Galeria Musical, Anderson Nascimento gave the album a negative review, rating it with 2 stars out of 5. He claimed that, while the album is "heavier" than its predecessors, overall it seems "rushed" and "unfinished". Nevertheless, he praised the tracks "Rubão, o Dono do Mundo", "Não É Sério", "O Penetra" and "Tudo Mudar".[4]
