From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

This is the second and last, more "pop rock" oriented album by Mezquita. They've bumped up their arabic influences but've dropped the progressiveness that the first album had almost entirely, with average lyrics and "easier" vocals, so if you're looking for progressive rock, check out the first album.

Their closing track, "La monta�a, La Ciudad" is very reminiscent of their first album, with long instrumental breaks and the return of the original poetic lyrics and vocals, and is about as progressive as this album gets.

The opening "Cuento �rabe" isn't really progressive, but it's very catchy and Arabic, and one of my favorites of the album.

"La �ltima Juerga" is probably nothing too special, but it reminds me of Mana, specifically their song "Oye Mi Amor". That's all.
