Lots of good ideas, still a bad album. How come?
First of all because Santoro stole most of those good ideas from Kyuss. There
is hardly a stonerrock band that is not influenced by Kyuss, but what these
Argentinans produce is sometimes downright plagiarism.
The second good idea that doesn't really work concerns the vocals. It is
however not singing in Spanish, because that's just smart. Why sing in bad
English when you can sing in good Spanish? No, the problem is that singers El
Topo and Sergio Ch., who's also in Natas, attempt to do double melodies, a
bit like Alice In Chains do. This is really a great idea and very original in
the genre, but you need two good singers and clear production to pull this
off, and Santoro has neither. El Topo and Sergio Ch. are adequate vocalists
but not more than that and the sound is muddy, part on purpose, part because
of lack of budget.
The album's major problem is that the songs lack structure. When you're
listening to the album you hear a series of ideas that are seemingly put
together in a random order, creating sonic blobs with neither head nor tails.
