Nadando com os Tubarões (Portuguese for "Swimming Alongside the Sharks") is the third album by Brazilianalternative rock band Charlie Brown Jr., released in November 2000 through Virgin Records. It was the band's final album with original guitarist Thiago Castanho, who left the following year citing his dissatisfaction with their extensive touring schedule; however, he would return in 2005.
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".
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]
