Reviews Customer Reviews for El Silencio      Yet the best from Caifanes.      Rating:      This one will remain ever as the best album out from the (brief) discography of a band which sometimes is wrongly named Mexico's Soda Stereo, or Mexico's U2. Neither they sound much like Soda Stereo or U2 really... Good compositions, interesting lyrics, experimental sounds, local mexican influences, progressive rock and a couple happy/optimistic gems made this album the Caifanes' best, and yet even better than any of Jaguares' releases (Saul Hernandez follow up project). Highly recommended if someone want to listen what Caifanes (perhaps the best mexican rock band ever) is all about as it contains all of their music ranges and moods, just in case you don't know them yet.     Customer Reviews for El Silencio Cd      The pinnacle of Caifanes      Rating:      This is undoubtedly one of the best Spanish rock albums released in th 90s, if not in history. Saul Hernandez's lyrics and Alejandro Markovich's guitar work is masterful. It's a shame that only four albums were produced under the name Caifanes. Probably I'm sounding a bit biased but anyone who likes good music should buy this CD. All of their tracks are worth listening to. There's not a lot of LP's who can claim that. Let's start top to bottom: 1-"Metamorfeame" catches the Grunge spirit that was going on in the early 90s. 2-"Nubes" is the best track of the album; you never get tired of listening to it; Markovich's guitar can sing as well. 3-"Piedra" is very cool to listen to, especially with the Norteno loop at the end. 4-"Tortuga" slows things down but it's worth listening to as well. 5-"Nos vamos juntos" is an epic five-minute plus song that will surely make you replay it. 6-"No dejes que" is the other really really great song here; Markovich's solo guitar here is as good as the one in Nubes. 7-"Hasta morir" is a slow song and it's still considered one of the best tracks. 8-"Debajo de tu piel" slowly brings things back to speed. 9-"Estas dormida" is an easy-to-listen song whereas 10-"Miercoles de ceniza" is harder and darker. The last part of the album gets more eclectic with 11-"El comunicador", 12-"Para que no digas" which is highlighted by Sabo's bass and 13-"Vamos a hacer un silencio" which is beautifully composed by Diego's sinthesizers The finale of a wonderful album is a bonus track "Mariquita", an old Mexican folk song.
