5 out of 5 stars Los Soles Rule!!.......2006-07-21

I was a sound tech back in the days, (about 10 years ago). I still remember the first day I heard of this band. Since Ricky was the principal voice. It has evolved in the music genre but yet stay loyal to theyre fans taste. Believe me as a sound tech I can know when a band is fooling around in stage and these guys live are the same quality as in CD. My advice, start getting theyre CD'S because August 22 is near by and they will release theyre next album and they will go up up up far beyond anybody could imagine.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful hard rock from my island.......2002-01-15

I was born in Puerto Rico, and this band, along with few others,is one of the greatest bands down there. This album is perfect, it has everything. "Locomotora" is a full-blown thrash song, "El Velo De La Verdad" is very dramatic but heavy, "Voices in my head" sounds like an Alice in Chains rock epic, and "Rebeldia" is like a mix of metal and ska. My favorite track tho, is a remake of an old song of theirs, "Sentido Contrario", a song about the dangers of drug addiction. Definitely worth your money. Viva Puerto Rico!

5 out of 5 stars Great mix of rock rythms.......2001-11-09

I love this CD. The mix of musical flavors created by Sol D Menta is exceptional. I especially love the drum and bass rythms in El Principio and the psycodelic sounds in Voices in my Head. I get pumped everytime I play de album.
