Hocico's best album.......2007-05-30

I am not a critic what so ever. but i know the kind of music i like and what i want my albums to have depending on the artist i am listening to. for example if i want nice soft techno bacground with soft vocals i turn to vnv nation. when i want to just jump and dance scream and yell i turn to various artist and one of them is Hocico and this album. If this is your first Hocico album i recommand this one.

I rank this at the top of Hocico's releases. It combines the harshness and rage of their earlier work, with more accessible and memorable melodies and song structures. Of course, the instrumental tracks have always been throw-aways. Spirits of Crime may be among their 2 or 3 best songs. This is top-quality harsh electro that sets the standard for the genre.

Bleak and unique.......2005-05-09

Coming from Mexico City, Hocico (pronounced "os-ziko") offer a uniquely bleak take on industrial. The production is typical top-notch Metropolis quality. Behind the club-friendly beats lie soundtrack-grade atmospherics, samples, and synth work. The songwriting is pedestrian, and the vocals are on the thin side. However, these faults aren't major and only help highlight the impressive production. The lyrics really shine here, tying together sociocultural and emotional themes. Bonus points for the gorgeous artwork, which helps give the whole package a genuinely dark feel.

Not their best........2005-03-10

Ok, I came to know Hocico by getting the Signos de Abberacion album and I really liked that one a lot. Especially Bloodshed, Forgotten Tears, and Instict of Perversion. And you find those songs coming into your head every once in a while even if you haven't listened to the CD for some time. But this release just didn't jazz me all that much. Sure the production quality is outstanding and some of the ambient soundscapes that were used are of course good, but the memorability and catchiness of the songs just wasn't there. It's almost like 1/2 of the CD is just material in the works. Get it if you're a hardcore Hocico fan. But if you're expecting songs like Signos de Abberacion, don't spend your money and download it instead lol ^____^

Hocico at a crossroads?.......2004-12-10

Hocico's recent releases haven't been quite as thrilling as some of their older material, and Wrack and Ruin isn't much of an exception. Hocico have always included several instrumentals on their releases, but this is the first time that I have found them completely forgettable. As far as club material goes, you have the requisite "Poltergeist"-style dance track "Born to Be Hated" and the enjoyable "Spirits of Crime". The utterly juvenile "Love Posing as a Prostitute" is a misstep, though, hearkening back to the embarrasingly bad "Ladykiller" released on their most recent EP. All hope is not lost, however - it's clear that Erk is trying for more variation in his vocal delivery, and "Ecos" is bizarrely catchy and quite unlike anything else Hocico has recorded. Not a good place to start with Hocico, but not worthless to a dedicated fan, either.

A Soulful Upbeat Bluegrass CD.......2005-08-18

This CD has a great mix of upbeat like introduce yourself and relaxing tracks such as stars. Dread Clampitt is my first favorite bluegrass CD, the soothing lyrics and great harmony of band members makes this CD so great. I can't wait to get their next CD and I encourage everyone to buy this CD even if Bluegrass isn't the kind of music you like.
