Dias Melhores (Portuguese for "Better Days") is a compilation album by Brazilianrock band Zero, released in 2004 by Voiceprint Records. It is composed of many songs and rarities Zero recorded during the beginning of their career, approximately between 1984 and 1985, and as such it is one of the few registers of their first ever line-up, comprising vocalist Guilherme Isnard, guitarists Fabio Golfetti and Nelson Coelho, drummer Cláudio Souza, bassist Beto Birger and saxophonist Gilles Eduar. Isnard would be the band's only founding member to remain in Zero's many different line-ups.[1]
The album was organized by Fabio Golfetti and Renato Donisete, owner of Zero's official fan-club located in São Caetano do Sul, São Paulo, and produced by Golfetti.
