Skylab VIII is the eighth studio album by the Brazilian musician Rogério Skylab, the eighth in his series of ten eponymous, numbered albums. It was self-released on July 29, 2008; to promote the album's release, Skylab made an exclusive performance at the Cine Lapa in Rio de Janeiro. Skylab VIII's liner notes state that it was dedicated to Marcos Petrilo, a long-time friend of Skylab who executive-produced his first two releases; he is also mentioned in the lyrics of "Meu Diário". Skylab has once claimed that while he doesn't think of Skylab VIII as one of his best albums, its cover art was one of his favorites.
A music video was made for the track "Eu Tô Sempre Dopado", directed by Amílcar Oliveira.
The track "Bat Masterson" is a parody of the Portuguese-language version of the theme song of the eponymous TV series, as sung by Carlos Gonzaga. "Casas da Banha" was re-recorded from his 1992 debut, Fora da Grei.
The album can be downloaded for free on Skylab's official website.
Critical reception
Blog Just One More Night gave the album a favorable review, stating that "Skylab has considerably evolved since Skylab ", and that "he and his band reach their creative peak with Skylab VIII".
