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 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. 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. ![]() 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. 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.
