First of all, please note that this group has several albums and this is not his best. Anyway, saying this, i can say this album is fantastic, and i can stop listening to it. This is melody, and guitars, and noise, and drums, ... and a voice. The voice os J (that's the name of the singer) is quite singular, and it's not understandable very easily, but i think that shouldn't be a problem. That happens also with anglosaxon singers. The issue here is THE MUSIC. And, if you know Spanish, the lyrics are quite interesting, talking about the issues that all the songs always treat, Women and the lack of love.
Planetas have a very solid history of songs that talks about women that leave the singer. And the stories are really dramatic. Sometimes the dramatism is colored with some irony.
Another theme Los Planetas want to talk about is football (what Americans call soccer). They are anti-Real Madrid football club, and in this album there is one song against this club. "EL artista madridista" is one of the best songs of the album, and if you analyze the lyrics, you can see some of the figures that are in Real Madrid now. Anyway, there are some other very good songs in this cd: "Corrientes Circulares En El Tiempo" "Pesadilla En El Parque De Atracciones" and "El Espiritu De La Navidad" are also quite good. As i say, this is a very good album, something everyone that wants to know about spanish music should buy. Excellent.

Como dijeron antes, no es el mejor disco de Los Planetas, pero es bueno y parece que Amazon no tiene los otros disponible todavía; así que recomendaría que lo compraran y verán que es un muy buen grupo y así esperarán con ansias los otros.
Los que más recomiendo son "Una semana en el motor de un autobús", "Super 8" y "Unidad de desplazamiento".
