"Sumo is an icon of argentine rock. This album contains a lot of classics, such as "Rubia Tarada", "Reggae de Paz y Amor" and my favourite, "Mejor No Hablar de Ciertas Cosas" (the influence of Joy Division is clear here and in "Divididos por la Felicidad")."  Reply

"Literally the best reggae record I've ever heard. Sunny harmonies, beautiful melodies, and stunning songwriting. Heartwarming, really. It just wants to be your friend. Why refuse?"  Reply

"One of the better comeback albums form the decade, the sheer crazyness of some of the tracks makes this worth a listen. Watt and Hurley are still one of the greatest rhythm sections in all of rock."  Reply

"I think this album is underrated. Sherinian brings an interesting dynamic to the band's sound, and Petrucci belts out some of his most tasteful solos ever.
