This album marked the return to a more rock-oriented and direct sound after some years of experimentation and side projects. It was recorded in Los Angeles once again under the expert guidance of Phil Ramone, seeking pristine audio quality and a live band performance. The lyrics are long, dense, and loaded with existential reflections at the end of the millennium.
The promotional single 'Al lado del camino' became an anthem of intellectual and personal resistance for its followers. Other songs like 'Dos en la ciudad' and 'La casa de al lado' showcase their mastery of the sophisticated ballad and rock with soul influences. The album breathes an air of maturity and serenity, with string arrangements recorded in a spectacular way.
It was awarded several Latin Grammys, consolidating its international prestige beyond the borders of the Southern Cone. It is an album that prioritizes the text and vocal performance over modern production tricks, resulting in a classic work. Its legacy is that of an artist who knows how to age with dignity and still have relevant things to say.
