Rock en Español has become established as a genre, but, in truth, it's just rock music sung in Spanish -- albeit rock covering a lot of territory, from the innovative to the mundane. The problem with La Ley is that they are at the mundane end of the musical spectrum. The trio is simply your average rock band. No one doubts their commitment to what they do and the cause of peace. But while occasional melodies have a reasonable pop quotient, there's nothing to make them stand out from any rock pack anywhere. The spark is missing, at least on this disc, and there's nothing to be done about that, it seems. Songs move from one to another without anything to make them completely stand out. It's an odious comparison, perhaps, but if this had been an American band singing in English, it probably wouldn't have even been released.
