This album is the best. It'll always hold a special place in my heart and touch me in places not many things get to touch.

L’ Via
Durmiendo en paz
Abre los ojos
Todo cambiará
L’ Via

I remember hearing the Widow for the first time, and being mesmerized by Zavala's voice. I used to write the lyrics to L'via in my notebooks in high school, and just blast Cygmund walking through the open halls. I love this album it brings back a looot of memories.

Listening to it now again these guys are talented musicians. There are just a fuckload of riffs they jump from prog to Latin instrumentals, and it never sounds forced whatsoever.

You hit the nail right on the head, man. I doubt they'll ever live up to this one, even though I've enjoyed everything since to a certain degree.
