Bloco do Eu Sozinho is the second album from Brazilian band Los Hermanos, released in 2001.

In an attempt to escape the pressures of producing new hits demanded by their record label, the band sought solace in a secluded site in the mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro and began composing. During this time, bassist Patrick Laplan chose to leave the group, allegedly dissatisfied with the band's evolving sound. The band's producer and collaborator, Alexandre Kassin, stepped in to replace him during the album's recording. When the completed album was presented to Abril Music, the label rejected it due to a perceived lack of potential hits and an assessment of the production as amateurish. The label insisted on the album being remastered. In a compromise, producer Marcelo Sussekind agreed to remix the album. Sussekind favoured the original version and thus produced a version almost identical to the original, which was then submitted to the record company. ^{[4] [5]}

The album's sales were notably lower compared to the band's previous release. This could be partially attributed to Abril Music's limited promotion of the album due to the absence of a potential blockbuster hit. The band remained active through an extensive tour, which garnered them new fans and solidified the band's "cult" status. ^{[6] [7] [8]}
