4.0 out of 5 stars For progressive/metal listeners, maybe not for everybody
Well, I'm always looking for metal bands in spanish. This was the first Bolivian band I've ever heard of, and this album turned out being a good surprise.
It obviously is Dream Theater influenced, as many progressive metal bands today, but it adds a symphonic element that is kinda original. The songs are ok, as most progressive songs, they have long instrumental...

Well, I'm always looking for metal bands in spanish. This was the first Bolivian band I've ever heard of, and this album turned out being a good surprise.
It obviously is Dream Theater influenced, as many progressive metal bands today, but it adds a symphonic element that is kinda original. The songs are ok, as most progressive songs, they have long instrumental parts where the band experiment with melodies and time changes, but clearly there are about 3 or 4 stronger songs, but good enough for a first album. Soundwise, I think a bit less of effects on the voice and drums would have helped giving this album a better metal sound.
If you're into metal and/or progressive and want something that is not common, buy this album. Too bad there are no samples of their songs here on Amazon.com, but you can get them at the band's website. Try also the Mexican band called Agora.

I listened to other Bolivian bands that sound really good and I thought I woul'd like this too but I didn't. Actually I don't know why I'm rating this band either because I didn't like it at all. It sounds really amateur and the whole cd sounds weak. I don't recommend it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dont waste your time and money :P, May 2, 2003

I Get this Cd From a Bolivian Friend (Thanx Alberto) and I have two words for you - plain... I think there's a lot of progressive hands that only try to copy Dream Theater and this is a good example, i don't understand the lyrics but the vocalist seems to wing out of tune or something, the guitar and keyboard seems to have the idea but not the technique in my opinion you dont have to play 10000 notes to play really good progressive rock The super group Yes is a good example . I'm a die hard fan of Prog Rock from all over the world and i think there are very good prog latin groups like Anacoresis from Chile, Prefase from Argentina. Check it if you can
But i have to rate this album, so there are 2 reason for just one star : a) the web page of facto alfa , b) the album cover
