This second album is much more acidic, direct, and at times aggressive than their debut, reflecting the climate of social tension in 1982. The album delves into social irony and criticism of the media and the established morality of the era. It was recorded with a rockier and drier instrumentation, seeking a stronger impact on the listener through rhythm and lyrics.
It contains songs like 'El banquete' and 'Entra en movimiento', which exude an elegant cynicism and a musicality honed to the extreme. The band continued working with lyricist Roberto Jacoby, who brought a unique intellectual depth to the catchy melodies of the Moura brothers. It was an album that continued to challenge the prejudices of traditional rock audiences, earning its own place in the underground scene.
It represents the most combative and experimental stage of Virus, where the group consolidated itself as a creative entity independent of trends. Critics began to recognize the value of their proposal, although major commercial success was still a little way off. Its importance lies in the courage to maintain a distinctive aesthetic at a time of great political and cultural confusion.
