I heard one song from this album, "Liar", liked the song so much i had to buy it the album.
Ill Nino have put a latino spin to the nu-metal world.

All great songs, my favourites are 'God Save us' and 'What comes around'.
I really like their lyrics too, like;
"For all the pain that calls my name
I burn your picture in the same way
That you burned the things you see in me
And all the pills wash it away
They tell me how and what to say
I need that numbness here in me, to be"
These kind of lyrics stand out to me, and make me like their music even more.
With such contrast between tracks like, "What comes around" which is like pure brutality and aggression with the beauty and simplicity of a guitar... to the very melodic and slow end track, "With you"... which from the very moment is played has the ability to bring a tear to an eye. Some people have said to me they think it is disappointing that this kind of song ends the album, but I think the contrast of it just makes this album a whole load better.
Their vocalist has a great singing voice, the vocals are probably closest to some of earlier Fear Factory stuff, both when growling and singing.
Ill Nino may not be everyone's cup of tea, but they sure are a breath of fresh air to a dying genre.
If you like music like Fear Factory, Spineshank, Slipknot... I would recomend this to you.
