    Lyrically, I'm not the one to judge this record, since, even though I had the best two high school Spanish teachers in the state of Montana, that education only took me so far with this record, so I am limited to reviewing it on mostly musical merit. I do hear a lot of references to God, and judging from context, most songs are praise & worship. This Mexican band soars in the classic metal/arena rock dept., but they have, strangely enough, included a blues/rockabilly song ("Eclesiastés 11-9"). I don't hear anything incredibly creative here, so perhaps it's sheer novelty that makes me appreciate it.
