After a debut album in which they showed a committed hard rock, Náhuatl, lowered their music a few decibels and joined the competition of the once strong men: to see who made their music more commercial. And there they went; although with the incorporation of Omar Jasso on the keyboards, the thing was sometimes disguised in a pretty good progressive pop. The authorship of the songs was shared between Ricardo Ochoa and Ramon Torres.

They open very well with "Explícame", a song that portrays well what is to come. Much more melodic than what we were used to, where a timid but intelligent use of the keyboards stands out. "El Rock Jarocho" is the next song, a peculiar song with harps and synthesizers, seasoned with magnificent and carefree lyrics. Apparently it was not to the total liking of Raúl Velasco and other vampires when this song competed in the OTI festival. Next up is "Mi amor por ti", which excellently combines progressive and complex arrangements with very pop structures. Superb.

From then on the album becomes very deflated and only at the end is it worth it with "La pobreza", totally inspired by "Tobbaco Road" by the French Jamul, in which they pull out a riff more in keeping with the first album mixed with their new progressive facet.

In general it can be tedious, there are some songs left over, although others are very good.
