Tierra Santa - Mejor morir en pie (2006)

Tierra Santa have never reached any great heights, but they can still usually release something better than this.  Mejor morir en pie is a totally routine, by-the-numbers effort, with songs that pretty much all sound the same; only "Hoy vivo por ti" and, to a lesser degree, the opening, title track are of note. 
The production is beautiful, and the band play as skilfully as always. It's also a relief that their albums are never very long.  But, whatever the length of this one, the songwriting sounds like it was done in automode.
