4 stars Not exactly the "came back", but yeah, kinda.

Chato-Boy marks the return in the last chapter (so far ...) of the SECOS & MOLHADOS's history. And then, it return's to the exact part where JO'O RICARDO had stopped on the last album "Teatro?": The intimate perspective. "Little Jo'o Ricarido eat your soup or the bogeyman will come to get you. Oh, puto!" (puto = kid in portugal's portuguese). The album begins with this phrase, in a recited poetry (the whole album will feature one lenght poem recited), probably remembering the first words that Jo'o Ricardo should have in early childhood in Portugal. In 29min to go by, the memories are placed and replaced, its story of this Chato-Boy (boring child), that also gain the meaning of "flat", "short", since its a whole life resumed in less than half a hour. As the music itself, the inclusion of a younger musician, Daniel Iasbeck brought to the compositions of Jo'o Ricardo an incredibly fresh and current air, while some nostalgic features of a good and old sounds a la 70s, and 80's can be found. And we progheads know what we like!

It's pop with quality, it is rock with poetic and artistic air. It's SECOS & MOLHADOS with quality and insight. It's full 4 stars.
