Not at all as fun as the first one. This album is more polished, and based on more serenade-like numbers. Gone are the crude charm and the quasi-tough cuteness.

nahuatl - 1975 - NauarThis one is nowhere near as interesting as their first. But it is surprisingly difficult to obtain on the original vinyl. It's somewhat light, fairly commercial rock, featuring some synthesizer, along with guitar, and Spanish vocals. The sound on this CD reissue is quite acceptable, plus the inclusion of the single is also appreciated.

Pretty consistent LP for an early 70's Mexican heavy psych record. If you've come to this because you happen to LIKE what you have heard from this period in Mexican Rock history, than this will not disappoint you. That said, you have to like this stuff to begin with. You either get the appeal or you don't which is many folks reaction to these bands. This one combines all the amateurish crudo-fuzz elements of the best Dug Dug's and Three Souls in my Mind and perhaps even ups the ante in the songwriting department vs. some of those bands' output. A couple on here, "Evolucion" in particular, are up there with the best of this genre.
