Search - Fobia :: Fobia

Definitely my favorite rock en espanol album!

"I actually bought this album for a report I was doing for a college Latin music class, and I was blown away! I couldn't stop listening to it. Their other albums are good, too, but this one is my favorite. Stylistically, it is similar to 80s pop groups, especially Head on the Door-era Cure, but with quirkier lyrics. It is somewhat of an emotional rollercoaster, going through some of the best bass-driven, 80s-styled keyboard accented pop I've heard, and mixing that with more meloncholy tunes like the final song, "el crucifijo", which is once again very comparable to The Cure (can you tell I'm also a Cure fan?). Anyway, if you like 80s pop, you'll love this album!"

"Fobia is a crazy band! It's good solid "rock en espa~ol" that's fun to jump around to, and the lyrics are amazingly weird. "Moscas," for example, is about a delusion that a swarm of flies is going to carry you away ("van a bajar por mi y me quieren llevar a no se que lugar, muy lejos ya de aqui"). Fun stuff."
