- way ahead of its time

yeah I can remember, south america wasnt ready for this record back in 1992, we were receiving the first smashing guitars from nirvana and pearl jam, and everybody thought "the louder the better" but not realizing what was it all about. Suddenly I heard "dynamo" and I have to admit that I wasnt ready either, it took me a couple of years til I heard it again, and I just knew it: gustavo and cia were at least 10 years ahead of everybody else!!. It sounds fresh, rumbling, punching (primavera 0), driving (secuencia inicial), organic at moments (claroscuro), filled with electronic gizmos and tricks, drumming loops, this is a very rewarding experience. Soda should have break up after this album came out, it was impossible to top this.

Highly recommended.

- capas y capas de sonido...(z bosio)

Este es un disco en que se deja apreciar toda la esencia de soda, con musica intensa, bien terminada, una mezcla un poco sicodelica entre el rock y una pizca de tecno; un estilo de musica que yo buscaba hace rato. (Signos, el tercer album de soda, es genial)

- The best latin Rock and Roll disc Ever

Simply beautiful, you can listen to it in replay CD for hours... As the cd cover shows it's as loopable as you heart beating. ;) Way ahead for his time, Soda Stereo showed why they still are one of the best Rock and Roll bands in the world. If you liked U2's POP upbeating style, this is for you. Thanks God for the spinning. Gira el mundo. Gira Dios.

- Distorsion sonica.

El disco mas oscuro y experimental de Soda, con un nivel muy parejo en todas sus canciones. El tema "En Remolinos", el mejor del disco y uno de los temas mas gloriosos de toda la carrera de Soda.

- Excellent but... innovative?

This is an excellent and mature album, clearly the best this argentinian group ever made, and quite possibly one of the best ever in the annals of the history of rock....

But the signature sound of this album (the layered guitars) came 2 years after MBV's Loveless, which is considered by many as the most influential album of the 90's, and deservedly so. I am all for giving credit where it's due, though of course I cannot know if Cerati listened to MBV beforehand; songs like Ameba, En remolinos and Luna roja, could have perfectly fit into a Kevin Shields' album from the early 90's from a stylistic point of view; but certainly Cerati's prowess for arranging melodies is unmatched in any language.
