Tierra Santa - Apocalpsis (2004)

Tierra Santa's sixth album is pretty much like their others; their work has never really excited me, and what's best here is what has always been their strength, an excellent guitar sound, which comes across best in songs such as "Esa tierra es mia", although "Rumbo a las estrellas" has synth bits that sounds like 1984-era Van Halen. Also, their records aren't too long, this one being around forty-one minutes.  A written introduction suggests there's a running story through this but, of course, I have no idea what it is.
Apocalipsis is pretty much run-of-the-mill for his Spanish quartet, and it would be nice for them to try something... well... different.
