Without a doubt Café Tacuba’s latest album “Sino” is one of the best Rock en Español albums this year has offered, this band is definitely one of the top Latin Rock bands there is and their music is just mind-blowing. Innovation, wide musical knowledge, and freshness are clearly present in this album; every track demonstrates quality, excellent vocals and neatness in the way its multiple instruments managed to project the sound.

This band is able to reinvent its sound without disappointing its fans; it includes 15 tracks from which “Volver a Comenzar” stands out, not only for being the first single but also because of its incorporated creativity in every possible aspect. “53100” is another awesome track, it has an excellent intro and it keeps on with unique and eclectic sounds of guitars, keyboards, and drums. “Vámonos” is also a favorite; this song has a nice and overwhelming melody and a really catchy chorus. The album concludes with “Gracias” as the last track, another excellent song with an insane drum solo that couldn’t have been better, really nice and lovely way to resume such great tunes.

The name of the album “Sino” was given by Rubén Albarrán, vocalist of the band, referring to the way our destiny always ends up complementing despite the oppositions between “si” and “no” (yes and no). The unpredictable work of this Mexican band is always a surprise to its listeners and this CD has met it expectations so far, like any good surprise it has accomplished more than it’s expected. There’s simply not enough saying to describe the greatness of this album.
