With this release
Soda Stereo reinvented themselves. Lyrically and musically the band acquired an elegant fury never shown before. Although the album supposed a big change to the fan's expectations, it didn't disturb the band's popularity. The songs are among the band's strongest and most popular. Included is the instant hit
"Musica Ligera," the one chosen by the band to play as their last song in their last show in 1997.
"Entre Canibales" and
"Un Millon de Anos Luz" reveal almost sexually explicit but delicate lyrics, while the exquisite
"Te para Tres" was inspired by
Cerati's father's agony. The strong concept and consistency of the album is due in part to
Daniel Melero, a former member of
Los Encargados. Althought
Soda Stereo had played one of
Melero's songs in their debut album
Soda Stereo, they didn't really work together until this recording, on which he plays keyboards and is also credited as "concept contributor." Along with
Signos,
Cancion Animal is the most consistent work of the band. ~ Ivan Adaime
