A disclaimer - I don't speak Spanish so the lyrics aren't considered in this review.

Track 1 musically sounds very much like Linkin Park (only without the rap and in Spanish of course). The singer however has a 'smoother' voice and there's no call-and-response verse/chorus structure (which is a good thing in my opinion). A solid metal track.

Track 2 is an almost pure metal song with only a little techno 'interference'. A driving beat and well thought out guitar pieces hurl it forward.

Track 3 is an odd one. It starts off electro-ambient in style before the guitar and drums truly kick-in and when they do it never really lifts off. A decent song but slightly out of place against the others.

Track 4 is feel good heavy rock-n-roll (as stated, the lyrics might make it something totally different!) It has a descending verse into a techno yelp backed chorus (much better than you might think) and one of the high points.

Track 5 again starts with an electro-ballad intro before the song fully forms into a quiet verse/loud chorus pattern which although slightly predictable is very well executed.

Track 6 I can best describe as the Orb meets Motley Crue with the Crue coming out on top.

If I had to pick a fault with the album it would be that the electro aspect wasn't explored further. I think they could have done more, especially considering their name.

All in all a surprisingly excellent album let down (only slightly) in my opinion by the third song. I never expected to like this album in all honestly but will definitely be keeping it on my playlist.

I just wish I spoke Spanish so I knew what the songs were about!
