5.0 out of 5 stars The pinnacle of Caifanes, December 29, 2006

This review is from: Silencio (Audio CD)

This is undoubtedly one of the best Spanish rock albums released in th 90s, if not in history. Saul Hernandez's lyrics and Alejandro Markovich's guitar work is masterful. It's a shame that only four albums were produced under the name Caifanes.

Probably I'm sounding a bit biased but anyone who likes good music should buy this CD. All of their tracks are worth listening to. There's not a lot of LP's who can claim that.

Let's start top to bottom: 1-"Metamorfeame" catches the Grunge spirit that was going on in the early 90s. 2-"Nubes" is the best track of the album; you never get tired of listening to it; Markovich's guitar can sing as well. 3-"Piedra" is very cool to listen to, especially with the Norteno loop at the end. 4-"Tortuga" slows things down but it's worth listening to as well. 5-"Nos vamos juntos" is an epic five-minute plus song that will surely make you replay it. 6-"No dejes que" is the other really really great song here; Markovich's solo guitar here is as good as the one in Nubes. 7-"Hasta morir" is a slow song and it's still considered one of the best tracks.

8-"Debajo de tu piel" slowly brings things back to speed. 9-"Estas dormida" is an easy-to-listen song whereas 10-"Miercoles de ceniza" is harder and darker. The last part of the album gets more eclectic with 11-"El comunicador", 12-"Para que no digas" which is highlighted by Sabo's bass and 13-"Vamos a hacer un silencio" which is beautifully composed by Diego's sinthesizers The finale of a wonderful album is a bonus track "Mariquita", an old Mexican folk song.

5.0 out of 5 stars Caifanes, El Silencio, June 25, 2003

This review is from: Silencio (Audio CD)

El tercer disco de la mejor banda del rock en español en la historia. Éste reafirmó el éxito conseguido por los dos anteriores y consolida a Caifanes como la mejor banda del país y de esta parte del mundo, aunque todavía no le da la fama e impulso que después conseguiría con el siguiente álbum.

Con canciones clásicas como "Nubes", "No dejes que..." o "Hasta morir" este álbum, al parecer, es mi preferido de esta banda.

Es, considero, la punta de su carrera. En este disco participaron Saúl Hernández (voz), Alfonso André (batería), Diego Herrera (teclados), Sabo Romo (bajo) y Alejandro Marcovich (guitarra). Como puedes ver es una de las mejores y más completas alineaciones de Caifanes, nunca más volverían a estar estos músicos en un estudio de grabación para producir una más de sus genialidades.

Este disco es totalmente recomendable para todo tipo de público, si te consideras admirador de la música debe estar en tu colección.

This one is one of the best Caifanes/Jaguares cds, along with Bajo el azul de tu misterio and El diablito. I bought this just a few weeks ago, and it is still amaizing! You have great rock songs such as "Miercolenz de ceniza" "El comunicador" and "Nos vamos juntos". And softer songs such as "Debajo el tu piel" and "Estas Dormida". This one is MUCH better then their new album, which I find some of disappointing(its still good but not as good as this). The last song is a beautifull latin ballad, which is very untypicially for them to do. You english rock lovers should check out Caifanes and other rock en espanol bands, they will make you wonder why u didnt bought spanish rock since the day it was born -:)
