With this second album, Sumo consolidated their mass appeal, filling stadiums and becoming the hottest band on the national scene in the mid-eighties. The album is a collection of varied tracks ranging from dark ballads to the most frenetic funk and straightforward rock. It was recorded at Panda, seeking a more powerful and professional sound to compete with the major productions of the time.
It contains immortal hits like 'Los viejos vinagres', 'No acabes', and 'Heroína', which portray urban life and excesses with a fascinating rawness. The band shows itself at its peak of musical cohesion, with Ricardo Mollo and Germán Daffunchio creating guitar textures that were pure avant-garde. The figure of Luca Prodan looms larger in every performance, displaying his vulnerability and genius in a stark manner.
It is considered one of the best albums of the decade for its originality and for Sumo's ability to make people dance and think at the same time. It managed to capture the spirit of a generation that sought to break with the past and live the present with maximum intensity. Its importance lies in the absolute creative freedom with which it was conceived, something that remains the band's trademark.
