5 stars Almendra is one, if not the best latin american progressive rock album of all time. Only challenged by Alturas de Macchu Picchu by Los Jaivas and Jardin de los presentes by Invisible. I'm giving the record a 5 star rating because after careful consideration and analizing of the lyrics, this is a true work of art.

I'm a bit mad that this is considered Crossover Prog, because although it does have a strong pop influence, the songs are very Eclectic and shoud be put as such. Especially the song "Color Humano", its an epic, symphonic piece that touches on the delicate human nature and can be compared lyrically to Starless by King Crimson.
