This is the fourth and final album by Spinetta Jade, and the darkest and most experimental of them all. Recorded at Del Cielito, the album incorporates samplers, drum machines, and distorted guitars, reflecting the influence of alternative rock and post-punk from the late 80s. The lyrics address social violence, alienation, and the uncertainty of the end of the decade.
Songs like 'Cielo de ti' and 'La pálida' showcase a more aggressive and synthetic sound, moving away from the jazz-rock of previous albums. The title is a critique of social hypocrisy and the trivialization of violence in the media. It was the album that marked the dissolution of the band and the beginning of a new creative stage for Spinetta.
Although it was met with mixed reviews at the time, over time it has been revalued as a visionary work ahead of its time. It is a testament to Spinetta's ability to reinvent himself and absorb the trends of each moment without losing his identity. Its legacy is the courage to take risks and experiment even at the height of success.
