style
Your first album, ¿Cuándo se come aquí? , consists of extremely short songs with a clear punk style. In the second album, Siniestro Total II: El Regreso , the songs are mostly punk-heavy, but the variation of the instruments gets bigger. On the third album, Menos mal que nos queda Portugal , the punk style becomes more of the classic rock, which you can watch, for example, with the Rolling Stones - but the lyrics are still according to the previous style. The fourth, Bailaré sobre tu tumba , maintains the rock style. Album five and six, De hoy no pasa and Me gusta cómo andas , are distinguished by their music that is much softer and more pop-heavy, but the way in which the lyrics are made remains true.
The seventh, En beneficio de todos , they return to their rock roots and the lyrics become more extensive and profound. Numbers eight and nine, Made in Japan and Policlínico miserable , denote harder rock (even heavy metal), and the lyrics are darker. In the tenth studio album, Sesión vermú , rock becomes softer again. After ten rock-heavy albums a surprising twist comes with album number eleven, La historia del blues , suddenly they play blues, based on the lyrics of (Jack Griffin). This is mainly due to the significant change in the line-up and the desire to try something new after more than 20 years of band history. With the twelfth and so far last album Popular, democrático y científico , they return to rock music for the sake of their fans, with grunge elements.
