Its concise sequence and tango-inflected turns give the rock songs a clear identity, though the writing does not sustain the same strength across every track.

What we noticed

  • The title track moves at a measured, loping pace; the following “Tango” shifts the pulse toward a more explicitly dance-like sway.
  • The six-track sequence alternates those slower, theatrical turns with brisker songs such as “¡Caray!” and “Haciendo el bobo,” keeping the short release moving.
  • The songs retain a rock-band framework while leaning into tango and other Spanish popular-music gestures rather than staying in straight post-punk.

Significant within its genre. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
