These guys
have been around for awhile here in Argentina and I have all of their albums, but
I never had seen them live in a show for some unknown reason. So I finally got
to see them play a live gig here at Cosquin Rock (2015), and they knocked my
socks off. They played a super heavy set, with mostly songs from this album so
I knew that this production in particular was going to be super good, so here I go
with my review of this admirable production.
Vocals and Lyrics: Corvalan gets better over time; you
can see a progression from previous albums, but there is still room to improve.
8.5
Instrumentation:
Guitar: Hernan Langer, is maturing in his guitar playing, becoming
more of a well rounded axe-man, you can
see a progression over time from there earlier stuff, and he plays a couple
solos on this album which is well welcomed.
Bass: Corvalan’s bass playing is average on this album.
Drums: Andres Vilanova is a solid drummer. 7.6
Melody and/or Structure: Some really good Riffs, and
on one song “Venganza de los Perderdores” we have a Riff that is fused with
melody, this is a new level of sophistication for these guys. 9
Sound, Production and Feeling: Heavy sounding album
with some interesting surprises like some string sections on a few tracks that
are absolutely stunning in how well placed they are. 9.5
Songs: Song writing grows in sophistication; each song
has some interesting instrumental aspect or a cool production aspect to it ,
there is a lot of attention to detail. 15
The Bad:
Originality: The Band is growing out of there punkier influences
heading to a darker and heavier phase. 9
Overall: 58.6
