Babasónica is the fourth album by the band and the first to include the stable participation of keyboardist Diego 'Panza' Rodríguez, who would become a fundamental part of the group's sound. The album deepens the electronic experimentation begun in Dopádromo, with songs that incorporate loops, samplers, and programmed sequences. The production is cleaner and more detailed, bringing the band's sound closer to international standards.
Songs like 'Irresponsables' and 'Espectacular' show a more melodic and accessible side, with catchy choruses that anticipate the massive success they would have just a couple of years later. The lyrics of 'Irresponsables', with their critique of hedonistic and uncommitted youth, became a generational anthem. The album was a sales success within the independent circuit, consolidating the band as one of the most important in the Buenos Aires rock scene.
Babasónica is the perfect bridge between the rawness of their early work and the pop sophistication of what was to come. Critics highlighted the band's evolution and the quality of the compositions, which no longer had anything to envy of the international bands of the time. Its legacy is that of an album that, from indie and experimentation, paved the way for the massive conquest that was coming.
