A good purchasePretty good, but one or two of the songs were scratched enough to cause problems.
Imperfect compilation for one of the greatest rock in spanish bands
I have a problem with this compilation, altough it does have its wealth of great songs, they decided to throw in a lot of live songs, which is a mistake, that's why there are live albums, but they fell on this trap too. There is no doubt that Heroes del Silencio is one of the best bands in the short history of Rock in Spanish, probably only second to Soda Stereo. Second, the songs are out of chronological order which is forgivable but it does no let you appreciate the growth or progression of a band through the years. The biggest problem I have with this compilation is what they did with the songs from their first album "El Mar No Cesa - 1988" (The Sea Doesn't Stop), they remixed all these songs drowning all the synthesizers, and Enrique Bunbury re-recorded all the vocals, which shows that the band is embarrased of its 80s sound. I love this album and its sound, it's only my second favorite after "El Espiritu del Vino", it's a shame that they couldn't keep it as it was recorded originally. Heroes de Silencio only recorded 4 albums and they are all excellent, if you have the cash I would recomend you to start with their second album "Senderos de Traicion - 1990" (Paths of Treason) and/or their third album "El Espiritu Del Vino - 1993" (The Spirit of Wine), if you love them buy the other two. I still have my 4 cassette tapes, I bought this compilation with hope of not having to upgrade to CDs but it somewhat let me down, still if you are the kind who are into compilations this is a good way to discover a one of the greatest Rock in Spanish Bands. I've heard rumours that they are getting back together, hopefully they're true.
Lastly about the review of that "eclectic" guy, he's obviously obsessed with Morrissey and The Smiths, so probably he compares everything with them, I know everyone has the right to write an opinion, but if you don't know about what you're writing about, don't make a fool out of yourself. Heroes del Silencio is a totally different band than the Smiths, Juan Valdivia (Guitar) has a different style than Johnny Marr and Enrique Bunbury sounds nothing like Morrissey. .
Derivative
Lyrics are sometimes a little bit pretentious, not much variation from song to song. The guitarrist is derivative from johny marr, from the smiths, and the lead singer is derivative from morrison (and a little bit from morrisey). . . the formula sticks with that 80's new wave only with a differente language.
Todas las canciones son iguales.
Aburrido. Les cambian la letra y pretenden que es otra canción.
UNA JOYA MUSICAL (CANCIONES PARA TODA LA VIDA)
SIN EMBARGO LOS QUE NO CONOCEN A HEROES SE PIERDEN DE UNA DE LAS MARAVILLOSAS BANDAS QUE CONTRIBUYEN A QUE EL GENERO DEL ROCK SEA EL MAS VENDIDO, VALORADO, Y RESPETADO. PARA EL QUE CONOCE A HEROES NO ES EXTRAÑO ENTENDER PORQUE SE LES ADORA TANTO. SI CONOCES A PINK FLOYD, ZEPPELIN, U2, Y OTROS DE ESOS GRANDES, PUEDES COMENZAR A ENTENDER DE QUE SE TRATA HEROES: UNA JOYA MUSICAL, O SEA, CANCIONES PAR TODA LA VIDA. .
