5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!!, May 15, 2003

This review is from: Signo de Aberracion (Audio CD)

I have been following Hocico for along time now and every release is an improvement on the last. Most Industrial acts get stale after a few releses but hocico just keeps getting stronger! And Wow what on improvement this album was over the last! I loved how they have incorparated classical orchastration into their strong melodic stylings, they may not be as good as shostakovich now but hay mabey one day they will be.. But I think their real goal is to make great electro industrial music which is awesome! You will defiantly want to dance to this one - but note in no way is it poppy its quite sorrid and a little sadistic but it will fill you with dark glee and still manages to make you feal good. Yes I would say that one of the classical trax is a little weak but but 3/4 of them are good. Note no way does the classical part sound anything like some mozart, think beetoven, think stunningly sonicaly motivationaly powerful. As of late Hocico is really moving up in the ranks of industrial fans likes but I am not suprised. try this album I think you will agree.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily one of the best, January 19, 2005

Hocico is one of the best electro-industrial bands to ever make music. It's raw, harsh, thunderous, ripping, edgy, wicked, haunting, complex...all good things about industrial music.

This CD is a great introduction to the band. Their music is more polished and dance-oriented further along in their discography, and they continue their awesome dark-classical themed pieces throughout.

If you like this kind of music they are great at it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent industrial/ebm from...Mexico?!, October 15, 2002

Yes, it's true. Don't let the spanish title fool you. Hocico is an excellent industrial/ebm band. I was a bit skeptical at first when I heard of Hocico, but after hearing a few of their older songs a couple of years ago on a radio show I was inspired to buy their newest album. I must say I'm glad I did. Hocico pounds out powerful electronic industrial music every bit as potent as any german act. The music is purely electronic, aggressive, and most tracks are of a high bpm nature with distortion in the lyrics. A few of the song titles on Signos De Aberracion are in spanish, but all of the songs with lyrics in them are in english. The club favorites here will most likely include Instincts Of Perversion, Untold Blasphemies, and Forgotten Tears. The only weak point is a couple of the instrumental tracks that lack the dramatic feel of the rest of the album. Despite that short-coming, if you like industrial/ebm bands like Evil's Toy, Wumpscut or Abscess...definitely buy this album. Keep up the good work, Hocico!
