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.
