Cuarto y ultimo disco de Caifanes, producido por Greg Ladanyi y con un sonido mas cercano al grunge que al afro - rock que habia caracterizado las anteriores producciones del grupo: El Diablito (1990) y El Silencio (1992). Tras la salida de Sabo Romo y Diego Herrera, Caifanes graba El Nervio del Volcan con la participacion de musicos como Federico Fong (La Barranca) y Yanni Zaragoza.

Este album incluye los exitos: "Afuera" y "Aqui No Es Asi", aunque tambien hay piezas interesantes como "La Llorona" y "Miedo", donde Marcovich muestra su habilidad al tocar el violin electrico. Quiza sea el disco mejor producido de Caifanes, sin embargo, le hace falta la magia de discos como El Silencio.

Canciones recomendadas: Afuera, Ayer Me Dijo Un Ave, Avientame.

Saul Hdez dice que la magia entre ellos (Caifanes) ya se habia perdido cuando grabaron este disco... Mi comentario es que sin embargo el talento de estos musicos seguia intacto, incluso se encontraba en la cuspide y juntos lograron uno de los mejores discos en la historia del Rock en Español. Este es el disco de Caifanes con mas influencia de Alejandro Marcovich, sus solos son extraordinarios; No existe Rock Hispano con mejores requintos que El Nervio Del Volcan. Las letras de Hdez siguen siendo misticas y el inconfundible ritmo de Andre en la bateria le da un toque de maestria. Este CD no debe de faltar en tu coleccion de Rock.

Tambien recomiendo El Equilibrio de Los Jaguares, Nocturnal de Alejandro Marcovich y toda la coleccion de La Barranca.

This band is not only a great spanish rock band, They are the most creative, unique sounding band in the world today. You don't need to understand spanish to feel the greatness of this band. Their music speaks in all languages. Although to understand Saul's words is a plus. Their music touches the soul and since spanish is one of the most beautiful languages, it's no wonder god put these extremely talented musicians in the country of mexico. Someone said they are the spanish Beatles. I love the Beatles but Caifanes now called Jaguares have no comparison. They are in a league of their own.

este disco fue el que le abrio las puertas a caifanes ante el mundo, y cerro (ironicamente) el capitulo mas glorioso de algun grupo mexicano de rock el disco es excelente, la banda nuca sono mejor, marcovich, andre y hernadez, llevan al limite su creatividad en este disco, en realidad fasinante, como dicen los gringos: A Must Have

Caifanes (now Jaguares) were one of the greatest rock bands ever! Saul Hernandez has a beautiful, haunting voice, and EVERY SINGLE SONG ON THIS ALBUM IS GREAT. Do not hesitate to buy it even if you don't speak Spanish- Saul's haunting voice on the gothic tracks of "Hasta Que Dejes De Respirar" and "Avientame" will do all the talking you need. If you do speak Spanish, even better! If you get this album, you will never want to let go of it.

this gringa says that roc en espanol moves her spirit, and saul hernandez's group does it better than anyone else. EL NERVIO DEL VOLCAN helped me realize that pop doesn't have to be an empty, superficial exercise. the first time i heard it on the dance floor at an 'antro' in MEXICO CITY, i knew i needed to hear more. there's a reason why this group has been embraced by los roqueros chilangos: it speaks, and not just through lyrics. after you've been bumping and grinding, listen to the last track--la llorona. then the CAIFANES will enter deep into your soul. i bet they'll stay there a long time.

Like all the albums that come from a place and time in your life, I fear that my review may be jaded. I always treasured my tape of this album, I was given by a Mexican friend with whom I traveled Peru and Bolivia. Its obscure and classic. Something that when you play, people will recognize it's appeal and wonder how they haven't heard it or say that they had heard it, but not remember the artist (well at least not in South Africa, for certain).

"quisiera ser alcohol" is my favorite song ever. the album is great.

The last album from Caifanes. It was one os the saddest days in my life when I heard that Caifanes had split for good. A great c.d., good for any true rock fan.

this cd is one of the best by caifanes the creativity of this band is ahead of our times and the lyrics are very original they are like the spanish version of the beatles
